RE: The Story of Christmas - with pictures! 🎄

in #christmas7 years ago (edited)

I am greatly fascinated by conspiracy theories, @saramiller :) I had read about the connection being established between Krishna and Christ. The story of their birth is very similar. The alien theory is kind of interesting. Adds to the knowledge and opens horizons and perspectives and explains the unexplained :) :)

Yes what's interesting to me is that there are many elements including immaculate conception, announcement of pregnancy by heavenly entities, birth, and adoration = visit by 3 wise men that appear across many cultures. There are tons of similarities from stories across ancient Sumer & Babylon, Egypt, Greece, Rome, India, China, Persia, and even North & South America! What's more, there are events above & beyond the lives of the gods, messiahs, and prophets - like a great flood - described all over the world.

If you look at the Bible as absolute historical fact, it can be a bit hard to accept that other cultures cast different characters in the same dramas, but if you look at it as a metaphor it's a bit easier to take in. I was not raised in any religion, but I always thought these stories were fascinating & I had the unique opportunity to study a huge variety of religions without attachment to any one in particular.

The stories are of course super rich and detailed, but they're also part of the fabric of entire societies and wield HUGE power of people. Plus, as an outsider looking in, I was amazed that Christians or Hindus or whoever just somehow knew all their major religious stories. So I read their books, and realized that people kinda knew the jist of what the stories were about, but details were hugely varied. Anyhoo, that could be a whole series of posts in itself.

If the alien theories interest you, I suggest you research the Annunaki, the Elohim, and the Nephilim for starters. You'll find that there are plenty of people who think humans are a science experiment and that we have been genetically engineered from alien races.

exactly my point and perspective too. The Indian mythological story "Mahabharatha" has incidents and details that make sense only when you consider the alien theory. Nuclear weapons, teleportation, interplanetary travel, advanced laser artillery, atlantis, kinesthetics, energy interaction, immaculate conception, cloning, inter-species reproduction... Everything is documented in detail in Mahabharatha. It all sounds fantastical. But fantasy is a born from reality. The Alien Theory kind of completes the puzzling picture. I did read a little about the Book of enoch. I will definitely research your suggestions. thanks. Great to meet you here, @saramiller :)

followed you :)
