Some day (in the not-too-distant future), some one will probably mock Albert's religious views, the same way he seems to be (if I understood him right) poking fun at the views of others from the distant past.
Albert, may you "walk like an Egyptian" when that day dawns :-) FN On 15/07/07, Albert Desouza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sun was worshipped by the people of north america,Peru and also by the dravidians of south India.The Babylonians were sun worshippers.The ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun god Ra.Ra was regarded as the creator of anything and represented with the body of man and head of hawk,holding an ankh and sceptre.The Egyption civilisation was full of occult practises.These practises are full of mythologies.The most symbolic figures are that of Isis the moon godess traditional queen of Egypt and Osiris her husband.The priests of Ra established a famous temple at heoliopolis.Emperor Constantine fixed the day as saints day in the christian churchthe days which were dedicated to the pagan gods so the priests of Ra adapted their cult to the taste and notions of people and the whole company of subordinate gods figuered in the religion of lower Egypt for many centuries.It has been asked that Egyptions who did not believe in resurection preserved the dead bodies for centuries.They look forward to a paradise in which internal life will be given to the righteous.The Egyptions had book of the dead which gave the living people the idea how they must live on earth to attain paradise.Throughout their civilisation which lasted for 6000 years certain certain influency and potency of amulets and tallismans were recognised in the religious services.Certain amulets were worn not only when alive but also on the dead body.It was believed by the Egyptions that human beings were born from tears of Ra .Then came the greek mythology.The greeks believed Helios.They believed that Helios drove the sun from east to west. Do we still have the influence of all these gods in our religion? Readers please give your geniune views on this.
