Speaking of Ashoka

Speaking of Ashoka, how much do you know of the Therapeutae? Do you know Vedanta, advaita, Horus, Osiris, Ra, Atum, Dionysus, Mithra, Cush and Chronus, Semiramis, Amenta? How about the Gnostics and the hierophants of the first century BC? If you do not know about these, how can you call yourself a Christian? You do not even know what you are talking about.

This is not a big task: Google the words above and familiarize yourself with the terms and their associate ideas. They come from the world Christianity came from. How can you be a Christian if you do not even know what Christianity IS, where it came from or what it does?

You might think of Christ in terms your first century counterpart could not imagine. Most likely you think of Jesus Christ as a man. Your counterpart more likely thought of it as a power. Which is why I bring it up: it is--God, life's intelligence and power. Not that that power could not become a unique individual, fully God and fully human. It most certainly has. You.
