| Publisher Description: This is the introduction to the book.I write books against Christianity. Jews have been doing this for 1,900 years. It's one of the few or maybe our only tradition that everyone has bought into.Most of the books that Jews wrote have been for internal consumption, comedies really, making the so called god-man of the Christians the butt of the joke. The most successful one was about Panthera, a Roman soldier, presented as the father of the so called god-man. He had an affair with the mother when she cuckolded her betrothed and told him that a ghost did it and the sapsucker believed her. How dumb can you get? That book broke the laugh meter.The cuckold comes off looking like the village idiot. She was running with this guy the whole time before the nuptials and she convinced the cuckold that she was still a virgin even though she was pregnant. He went for it.Setting the story in Nazareth explains why the woman would have married the meatball. Nazareth did not exist but if it had, it would have been a boom town. Sepphoris, the great metropolis, which would have been four miles away, had been destroyed during an insurrection right at that time. They had to rebuild it. Every tradesman and supplier for miles around had guaranteed income for years and years. No wonder the bimbo wanted to latch on to the meatball. She may have loved Panthera but soldiers were here today and gone tomorrow.Christianity is a species of Greek mythology and much in that genre is like that, racy and fantastic at the same time. Nothing unusual there.The bigger joke was that in the 19th century they found in Germany the grave of a Roman archer Panthera who had been stationed in the area in question at the time.This raised doubts. You mean to say that this may be a true story and his son was real? Everyone in Israel assumed that it was just Greeks being Greeks, making up gods.In any event we are still waiting for the movie. I sup-pose the son of Panthera today falls roughly in the category of cartoon superheroes and they do well. Hollywood shouldn't complain about not having good scripts around when this one is out there for the taking and it's in the public domain.In this book I am abandoning my normal turgid, tor-tured quasi scholarly style and will do it in the form of a question and answer for a change of pace.This is my 43rd book, the sixth on Christianity.QUESTIONSHow do you know Greeks wrote this? /1What's the gripe today with the Christians? /2Where did the Christian myth originate? /3What elements of Christianity are Greek? /4What did Christianity do that's so bad? /5How did Israel get back on the map? /6Why is 'Judeo-Christian tradition' phrase a lie? /7 |
