mark, i am quitre familiair with this theory, and cloely relatd ones. i would offer that they are interpreted upside down. i would ofer that i ocasionally tell people "the One has very few tricks, but is Very Good at Them." :"Tanakh and, especially, the New Testament never took place. Instead, they are simple repetitions of a common mythos in the ancient world: a being who is born of a virgin and then resurrected." uh huh. another view is that this is why the events took place the ay they did, becuase that is How It Is Done, and people can get over it or not. Creation is continuously virgin, continuously impregrnated, continously being execited, contiusoaly resurrected. within tis context, with all reverence, all subission before the One, the Bab's Titls include Primal Point...as Lingam. and the Maid, Who is Baha'u'llah, sans the beard and the short, and the shaking, and the whatevers...is obeying (see Tablet of Ahmed) the One, to Whose Commands >>>>>we<<<<< (empahsis, lol, mine) are all conforming.
and thus, the Faith Itself, never really happened....thus th endless arguments alrady amongst so-called scholastics, as debates of the number of cannon blals at tabarsi, etc. might show... but, is Happening. and at some point, when the constellation are named after tabarsi and badesht instead of the golden fleece, historians and socilogists will argue that the Coming of the Lord of Hosts in His Name the Most Merciful never happened at all, but is only a common ancient myth about how false authority is destroyed by te justice of seeing thru one's own eyes. to which point, see my "paper" published last year as part of th discussion of the theism of robert pulman (nb the provenance of the pge title): http://www.jandb-dances.com/This%20is%20the%20Balance.html The information contained in this e-mail and any attachments thereto ("e-mail") is sent by the Johnson County Community College ("JCCC") and is intended to be confidential and for the use of only the individual or entity named above.
