Oh hum, religiously uneducated Post columnist-preacher Leah Hitchens returned to campus Sept. 18, still to fabricate the truth about her prophet hero, Jesus, of the ancient Hittite Abrahamic God, Jehovah/Yahweh.
...Religious stereotypes are shoveled on our culture
Leah wrote, forgetting the Biblical version of Jesus was also dug from fiction, a stereotype from 4th century Rome - claimed also by Germany's Luther and the various Anglo versions.
Forget The Da Vinci Code. Go directly to The Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth in Alden Library to learn that Jesus didn't die on the cross, but was resuscitated by Simon Magus, a pharmacist. Jesus and his followers then fled to Rome, where he married Mary Magdalene, then divorced her to marry Lydia, a minor New Testament figure.
Between his two wives, Jesus sired three or four children. They probably were killed in Rome during the great Jewish uprising there and in Jerusalem in 1939 BP (Before Present).
See also The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls by the late Rev. Dr. A. Powell Davies - also in Alden Library. And Martin Scorsese's movie The Last Temptation of Christ, but forget his last scene, where he puts Jesus back on the cross to die there. Scorsese caved to Rome's theology.
If Leah and the god-worshippers on campus refuse the factual record of the Hebrew Christ, they're missing the whole point of truth in history. The Buddha says, Do not lie.
World history further reveals that the lost years of Jesus are when, at age 16, he set out on his 14-year spiritual odyssey that took him eastward, through India, where the Buddha originated 500 years earlier. And into China,
Tibet and to the Pacific on Japan. Jesus circulated the known world and learned of the nine male christs before his time.
Jesus is the reincarnation of the Buddha, the enlightened one. Jesus learned Buddha's silent meditation, and giving kindness and compassion even to those one dislikes.
