Just something to say part 2

     I guess I might have struck a nerve the other day with the last post.(Just something to say) I made the assumption that there were others who had been called saviors and religious figures that had died in the same way that Christ did. 

Well here are some examples: 
Graves, often citing Godfrey Higgins as his source, asserts in the book that the following messiah-like "saviors" were crucified on a cross or tree before ascending into heaven.

Chrishna of India (Krishna), 1200 B.C.
Alcestos (Alcestis) of Euripides, 600 B. C.
Atys (Attis) of Phrygia, 1170 B. C.
Bali of Orissa, 725 B. C.
Budha Sakia of India, 600 B. C.
Crite of Chaldea, 1200 B. C.
Hesus or Eros (Esus), 834 B. C.
Iao of Nepaul, 622 B. C.
Indra of Thibet, 725 B. C.
Mithra (Mitra) of Persia, 600 B. C.
Prometheus or Æschylus of Caucasus, 547 B.C.
Quexalcote of Mexico, 587 B. C.
Quirinus of Rome, 506 B. C.
Thammuz (Tammuz) of Syria, 1160 B. C.
Thulis of Egypt, 1700 B. C.

Wittoba (Vithoba) of the Bilingonese, 552 B. C.

He also lists a number of other holy figures who took the form of men and then ascended into heaven, including Salivahana of Bermuda, Zulis or Zhule of Egypt, Osiris of Egypt, Oru of Egypt, Odin of the Scandinavians, Zoroaster of Persia, Baal of Phenicia, Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phenicia, Bali of Afghanistan, Xamolxis of Thrace, Zoar of the Bonzes, Adad of Assyria, Deva Tat (Savitr) of Siam, Sammonocadam of Siam, Alcides of Thebes, Mikado of the Sintoos, Beddru of Japan, Bremrillah of the Druids, Thor son of Odin of the Gauls, Cadmus of Greece, Hil of the Mandaites, Feta of the Mandaites, Gentaut of Mexico, Universal Monarch of the Sibyls, Ischy of the Island of Formosa, Divine Teacher of Plato Holy One of Xaca, Fohi (Fu Xi) of China, Tien (Tian) of China, Adonis son of the virgin Io of Greece, Ixion of Rome, and Mohamud or Mahomet (Muhammad) of Arabia.

       Now taking all of this into account you have to ask yourself which story or Religious figure is the right one. My point in the last post is you have to think for yourself. If you read most of history man has made it plain and clear that they have all the answers to the Universal questions of life and who created it and steers it to it's fruition. 

     Now taking all this into account. Go outside one day alone and look around you at the magic of life. Watch as a bird flies above you oblivious of your way of thinking. Watch a butterfly that's life cycle is less than a couple of weeks go about it's job and at the the beauty that it brings into your mind.Watch the sun rise in this magical world we live in and just think to yourself at how wonderful and complicated it all really is. Look at your children and think at how they grew inside you and then they take on personalities of their own. From a simple perspective you see things at it's basic level, but at it's sub molecular level is where you start to see how wonderful life really is. You see the very complexity of how we exist and interact with each other and with nature. It is just a symphony of beautiful mathematics that make it all work. It creates the water droplet that drips down a leaf that when seen in a picture brings chills up our spine. When your newborn child smiles it brings tears and smiles to your face. 

     Life is complicated, and we as humans are just trying to understand our place in it. I will stick to my original story that I have a firm belief in God in my own way. I have been given teachings from some very wonderful people Terri Maxwell and Brenda Bowersock Rennels. and their have been many others. But most of my knowledge that I have acquired came from my Grandfather Randall Moore. He told us as children never give up looking and that has been what I have done for most of my life. Like I have said to others many time I wish I could make it as simple as most do but I have many questions.  

     We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.
