Jesus

I watched recently this Internet underground movie : Zeitgeist . Interesting. The first part is about Jesus. Let me rephrase that: it is about similarities between the Christian core beliefs and previous religions. The striking resemblance is between the story of Egyptian god Horus and Jesus. Born on December 25th, the third day after the winter solstice for Egyptians, from a virgin, was killed and resurrected.

Sure enough this is not an made up story or conspiracy to deceive you and me into becoming atheists. The Egyptian Horus' story was carved in stone thousands of years befor Jesus' time. There is deception though at the level of the organized religion. Jesus was institutionalized and used for worldly petty advantages of those in charge. Was Jesus a real person? Did he exist? It doesn't matter. What he simbolizes is more important. His story is an ideal that insipired many genuine believers. These believers hold Jesus in their hearts: devine is a personal experience. The very same experience is shared among all the religions. This is eventually the key to a better world.
