Christianity Plagiarized the Beliefs of Other Religions

Sep 17, 2023 | My Thoughts

There are 32 documented stories of virgin births in religions of other cultures.  Here are a few of the mythologies, their countries of origin, and similarities surrounding the birth, life, death and resurrection of an important deity.

The Story of Jesus is a Carefully Contrived Myth

The early church needed converts to grow Christianity into an important religion.  Church leaders created a mythology surrounding Jesus’ birth which borrowed heavily from the Cult of Horus in Egypt, and the legends from India surrounding Krishna’s divinity.  Websites listed below contain in-depth comparisons between the mythology of Jesus and mythologies of pagan deities which pre-date Christianity by centuries.

Questioning Christianity

I started questioning Christianity as I began to read books containing information which was new to me, such as Holy Blood, Holy Grail, The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception, the Passover Plot, the Messianic Legacy and Pagan Christs.  The more I read, the more questions I had.  It seemed as if a mythological deception developed by early church bishops was contrived for the express purpose of attracting pagan converts.

A Challenge to All Believers

I have four questions I’d like to propose to you.

  1. What if . . . One morning you woke up and realized everything you’d been taught to believe was a carefully contrived fabrication. A work of fiction if you will, unsupported by substantiated facts.
  2. What if . . . You had an opportunity to travel back in time to find out what really happened?  Would you take the challenge or find it easier just to believe in what you’ve been taught since childhood.
  3. What if . . . You stumbled across a document that unlocked the mystery of existence and revealed a secret hidden for centuries? Would you dare bring it to the attention of Christians world-wide?
  4. What if . . . Those in authority deliberately manipulated history to mislead mankind? Would you have the courage to bring your revelation to all social media outlets and defend the new information?
