Tell the
Christmas Myth a Trillion Times
Listening to
commentators on church services or even news reporters stating things of the
Christ Myth like “Jesus was born in Bethlehem” matter of factly, which of
course these days is an off limits place full of Arabs in Israel etc.
There is the
old Doctor Goebbel’s line about telling a lie often enough that the lie becomes
the truth at least in a fascist state setup.
But standing
back and being looked down by Ph.D.’s in Theology by the mere fact that I can
read, the new testament in particular, and see the gaping holes in facts and
timelines etc., and the Doctors of Divinity merely and or mildly presenting tolerance of me
in the presence of vested education degrees.
Sheepskins do not necessarily represent
intelligence, merely the assets to sit in class for so many number of years and
being a certificate of attendance as an actual substitute for learning.
The real
tragedy I see this Christmas is how lukewarm real Christians give to the
devotion and reverence that used to be given as the fear of being in the
presence of a warlord god ready to strike non-conformists for the least
infractions of the army rule book of Christianity set up by the Emperor-god
Constantine in the fourth century of this common era as a means to glue
together a falling apart Roman Empire.
That if the
Christian myth has been told a trillion times over the centuries, the myth more
likely to the young at Christmas has been told at least three trillion times around some kindergarten table in
the repeating the stories of surrogates of fairy pervert pedophile elfs, like Santa, who sees
you every day and everything you do.
And you as a child get rewarded for
conformity to the army manual myth of who or what the commander in chief says
Christ is that day, week or month. Love this day and then go to holy war for
centuries in the name of the Prince of Peace.
I think the
perversion of the story of Jesus and his human golden rule teachings starts at Christmas and progresses until the Spring with the sado-masochist torture of
Jesus in time to be merged with the Easter Bunny myth. The Santa Claus thing is an
almost human story. The Easter Bunny is pure animus.
And the
lovely little baby in a manger morphing into a bloody corpse on a cross as the
only means of war that a warlord mean desert god says is the only means for the
rabble to salvation, to be drafted into the Empire’s army to save the Empire
and the Emperor etc. is a story that Mel Gibson took from the Anti-Semitic
boutique designer gospel of John used in producing his movie blockbuster
Passion of the Christ (myth).
