Christos-Mythos.com Visit the Christos Mythos Group Message Boards http://groups.myspace.com/christmyth Christ Myth The term "Christ Myth" covers a broad range of ideas, but most share the common premise that the narrative of the Gospels portrays a figure who never actually lived. Current theories arose from nineteenth century scholarship on the formation of myth, in the work of writers such as Max Müller (1823 – 1900) and James Frazer (1854 - 1941). Müller argued that religions originated in mythic stories of the birth, death, and rebirth of the sun. Frazer further attempted to explain the origins of humanity's mythic beliefs in the idea of a "sacrificial king", associated with the sun as a dying and reviving god and its connection to the regeneration of the earth in springtime. In 1909, an influential book on the subject titled simply "The Christ Myth" was written by German philosopher Arthur Drews (1865 - 1935) The British philosopher Bertrand Russel (1872 – 1970) stated in his essay "Why I Am Not a Christian" (1927), that even if Jesus existed, which he doubted, the public does not "know anything" about him. Most recently Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy have popularized the Jesus-myth concept in their book The Jesus Mysteries. Also recent is Earl Doherty's "Jesus Puzzle" (1999) and "The Pagan Christ" (2004) by Canadian theologian Tom Harpur (b. 1929). Acharya S. has also become known recently as a proponent of the Christ Myth hypothesis with books such as "Christ Conspiracy" (1999) and 2004's "Suns of God". I now present to you the evidence and factual information that has led these people to reject the notion of Christ as an "actual person" who "actually lived". To the left are several videos presenting the "Christ Myth hypothesis". None of the videos are very long, and I promise you they are very interesting. So please take time to watch them. Christos Mythos "...since the Divine is beyond our ability to comprehend, the religions of the world (ancient and modern) have envisioned some 'being' who is a part of both the Earthly world and the Divine world who brings us some knowledge from the Divine world. In Greece, this being has been called "Prometheus" who brought us fire from Mt. Olympus, or " Dionysus " who brought us Wine from the Gods . In Hermetic religion, he was called "Hermes Trismegistus" , who brought us wisdom from the Heavens. In Egypt, he was Osiris , who eternally fought the forces of darkness in order to bring light to the world. In the myths of the world, this 'intermediary' appears always as a God of light, life and enlightenment . For those of you reading this who lean toward following a particular religion, this symbol may (for you) be called "Christ", "Buddha" or "Krishna". In ancient times, he was called by many names... Osiris , Mithra , Dionysus , Hermes .... the names are many. The idea is the same." ...excerpt from the Mission Statement of the Christos Mythos See full Mission Statement here "All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom." - Albert Einstein click banner above to enter Christos-Mythos.com banner code click banner to enter Christos-Mythos.com "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." - Thomas Jefferson Easter - Christian or Pagan?: World Visitor Map Generator.
