Jesus a cloud in modern minds #518Z

A Case For Jesus As Myth

The last thing that you should ever do to understand Jesus is to read the Bible, because it is utterly remote to modern times. I am not trying to tear down the Bible, because that is not my message. The Bible is the Bible, and that is the end of it, because it really has no message to offer modern minds. The modern mind is totally infuse with Equal Right, EEOC, Women’s Issue, and LBGTQ persona. None of which are bad or good, because they all are real and thrive right now.

Modern Mindset

My case is for the modern mindset, because we are alive now. To read any ancient document is utterly foolish without serious scholarly research, because these documents are not written with the modern mindset. Slavery was not only ok, it was sought after, because times where hard. Throwing a female baby in the river was fine, because it was not a boy. Watching “losers” fight wild beasts, and get tortured with flames as sport was entertainment, because that was the mindset of ancient times.

Now, to even try and attempt to make sense of writings done at this time is almost impossible for today. Certainly none of it is “Politically Correct”, because our modern minds cannot operate outside of these codes. So to read documents like the Gospels, and Pauline Epistles offers nothing but distortion to modern readers, because we cannot fathom the mindset of antiquity. Antiquity was harsh, because times were harsh! The glorious Parthenon, and Roman Colosseum were wrought with the hands of slaves in chains.

All the images of Jesus that are provided to us are completely soaked in ancient mindset values. Further, there are many layers, and sub-layers of consciousness in those times that are not clearly audible in our own time. The offering of miracles, and healings are just the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to understanding ancient literature, there are many other layers of values that need to be assessed to understand these documents.

Put The Bible Asside

Therefore, put the Bible down, and just let go, because it is out of context for today. The same holds true for all ancient religious documents, because they are out of our times. Jesus is a myth, because He was a figure of hope for people hopelessly lost in very dark times. The message of this Jesus gave these people hope to make it through their days, because they lived in the dark. The entire story of Jesus is pure Hollywood, refined flower if you will, because no true story in real life falls together with such tact.

Message Of Jesus

Today we can embrace the message of Jesus, because there is much good in it. However, the best way to understand His message is by understanding our times, here and now. For when we have our house in order, we can help others with their house.
