Further On Setting Things To Rights

Building on my blog of late last night/early this morning:

I see that Pres. Trump has opened the pages of the White House online site to reports from the citizenry on how they have been censored by the social media, esp. Conservatives and Christians. (And Climate Change skeptics/refutationists.  And.  And…)

Good.  All points of view should be allowed to be expressed on all subjects on the public airwaves.  And though I am, generally speaking, on the side of ‘Conservatives and Christians,’ that includes the following.

The Son of God was, in ancient times, the Sun of ‘God’ - of the Unknown Power behind All Things - seemingly miraculously born, and reborn annually, on the 25th of December in our calendar, after three days ‘apparently’ in the tomb of the Earth dating from the winter solstice; an ancient festival of celebration onto which were grafted the stories of many a god-man in the ancient world, depending on the culture, and including stories of what are called ‘vegetation gods’ associated with the resurrection of life in the spring.  Thus was the figure of the character called Jesus made up of pieces of the stories of other god-men, ancient even at that time.  The whole subject is called astrotheology.  (With the 12 ‘disciples’ being personifications of the 12 signs of the zodiac, e.g., and ‘the Three Kings’ representing the three stars in the belt of Orion; etc. )*  

It is time to recognize all this.

And move on.

Into

The New.

Building on the old.  And embracing

the Future.

Beyond

The Play.
