The Historicity of Jesus Christ

[Margot]

The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross by John Marco Allegro is a provocative exploration of the potential link between ancient fertility cults and the origins of Christianity, suggesting that psychedelic mushrooms played a central role in early religious practices.

That's an interesting spin! YHWH spoke to Moses through the burning bush! ?

Plato believed that religion should be part of the state. Not a separate religion for every city state but one religion for all of Greece.

State religions have never been a good idea

So you're done here and are now just babbling. Okay.

I think you were finished before you began. You have nothing but gibberish amounting to denial of what you are staring at.

Except that the bush did not burn, hence, no smoke.

Except that the bush did not burn, hence, no smoke.

That's an opinion!

Just because it wasn't consumed, doesn't mean there was no smoke!

Several reasons already pointed out; Jewish culture in those days forbade mentioning women in their genealogies.

Chronicles 16 - 19

16 Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three.

17 And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

18 And Caleb the son of Hezron begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth: her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon.

19 And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath, which bare him Hur.


Women are named because one's Judaism comes from one's mother, not one's father. Not rocket science to point out, but some people are just determined to keep clinging to to their agendas.

Nein! Es ist keine Meinung.

Exodus 3:2
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Exactly! Wasn't consumed! That doesn't mean there wasn't smoke!

Smoke only issues from consumed fuel.
