“Syncretism, Not A Conspiracy Theory Finally, perhaps you’re wondering whether the early Christian writers directly copied from Egyptian or Hellenistic texts and deliberately perpetrated a conspiracy against their followers, plagiarizing the earlier myths and pretending their religion was original and was the only true faith. That entire issue of originality is a red herring. Ancient writers often wrote anonymously or in someone else’s name to associate themselves with a venerable tradition. There were no copyright protections in the ancient world. And large-scale orchestrated conspiracies are always improbable. What often happens instead is that history unfolds in a way that looks conspiratorial in hindsight, but that’s propelled more by incompetence, stupidity, greed, and other such commonplace vices rather than by evil genius.” Link: https://medium.com/interfaith-now/jesus-and-osiris-how-christianity-adapted-egyptian-myths-c63ef171cd10. Religion has a history of incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, statutory rape, sex scandals, sex work scandals, psychological characteristics of abusers, psychological trauma, popping babies scandals, organized crime, violence, murder, theft, embezzlement, sex-negativity, child sex rings, and bestiality. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
