Religion

Flying back from Rome I found this book waiting for me at the airport. “The book your Church would never let you read”. Apparently a best seller in Italy, selling more than 100.000 copies, this book is a collection of articles and theories about the origin of islam, jew religion and christianism.

Here links are made between those religions and the Mitra cults, as well as the zarathustra cult. The bible myths are examined one by one. I found the astrological explanations very charming, it would give an explanation of the new testament that fits. However, what stroke me the most is that all those myths can be explained in thousands different ways. Religion is the suspension of critical reasoning, and therefore its explanation are always fallacious. It’s a shame, or better it’s a pity that our sexual inhibitions have so much to do with religion.

Or better saying: the only difference between fairy tales and religion is that fairy tales are for children.
