The inadequacy of the Christian/Jew religion, is exposed in so-called Victorian 'crisis of faith'. Exploration and archaeology had revealed fossils, and consequently a growing awareness that official line of the church was hogwash.
How ironic, I recall reading about how the Epic of Gilgamesh was first heralded as a confirmation of the bible due to initial translations of the flood portion mirroring the Bible, but then as the translation dragged on it became apparent that the Epic contained earlier folklore that later became Biblical canon once all of the various "gospels" were pulled together.
QuoteI am soooo grateful to be a Creator. As only a former christian can be.
I've never really cared much for the dead-jew-on-the-popsicle-stick story myself, but I have heard the life story about one long-time Creator whose mother was a real christian nutjob, semi-abusive, would lock this kid in the basement tied to a pole and leave him in the dark for hours on end to "drive out the demons," etc.
Anyway, the son comes of age and is slightly messed up because of these traumatic experiences with the jesus-freak undertone, and then he comes across Creativity. His words about our Faith are: "Two weeks of Ben Klassen undid 20 years of christian insanity."
Neat, huh?
