Evolution of Religion

How Religions are Related

Over the weekend, I ran into a three-part video that just about made my jaw hit the floor.  The videos are about Religion.  Specifically the similarities between Ancient Egyptians and Christianity.  It put a lot of things into perspective for me, and did well in explaining how the Bible got it’s stories.  I doubt many Christians will find the videos enjoyable, but I’m not exactly Christian, so… 

Anyways, I couldn’t help posting it.  It’s roughly 30 minutes long altogether, but it’s well worth the watch.

Enjoy!

(Note: Click play and then pause it and leave it, so the videos can buffer while you watch the first.  I had a few problems on the third part buffering to slowly, so doing so may eliminate that problem for you by the time you get to it.)







Did your jaw hit the floor?  Mine did, I thought it was very tastefully done, and fantastic to be honest.  A lot of good information presented in a smooth, easy to understand manner, and gave both insight into how Ancient Man and Civilizations used Metaphors to explain the natural phenomena of the universe. 

I figure there are 3 ways to look at these videos.

1.) The videos are a lie and is there to mislead us.  Some form of disinformation.

2.) It proves that the Bible is a lie, and a fake, it being just a mere copy of other religions.

3.) It shows our religious beliefs haven’t changed much since Ancient Times.  Showing that although the characters may change, the story stays the same. 

For me, it’s number 3.  It doesn’t necessarily disprove the Bible to me.  It just kind of shows how religion transits from one age to another, adopting characteristics of that time to best tell the same story.

It also shows that most, if not all religious beliefs as closely related.  With it, it should become more apparent that scolding someone for their beliefs is sheer hypocrisy, the differences being only in titles and minute details, as they likely share far more in common in that area then they may realize.

Also, it shows that aggression due to differences in religion, is primarily due to ignorance.  Sadly, many people don’t try to educate themselves anymore.  They feel as if everything they have learned or experienced is set in stone, and feel as if there is no need to look any further.

Good news is, there does seem to be a large number of people beginning to re-look at the world with a more open mind, and a willingness to change their beliefs if needed.  This number is growing everyday.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it

And as always, to lighten the mood!
