At the church festival of Tezcatlipoca in Mexico, they chose a prisoner as the incarnate representative of god and placed a garland and an embroidered mantle upon him, as the Jews did on Christ. Then they led him to the temple, where the priest cut his heart out and held the sacred bleeding heart up to the sun, and his body was eaten by the church members, as we eat the body of our Savior.
Rev. Robert Taylor says in his Diegesis: “Not a single passage written in the first century can be produced from any independent authority to show the existence of such a person as Jesus Christ or his disciples.” The silence of all contemporary writers respecting Jesus Christ is a notorious fact. Philo, Seneca, Plutarch, Juvenal, Virgil, Horace, Ovid and Lucian, who lived in that period, make no allusion to his works, nor even mention his name.—Doubts of Infidels, 66.
The christ Prometheus died for the salvation of the world and was nailed on the cross many hundreds of years before the Christian Era. And the christ Esculapius, the Great Physician, healed the sick and raised the dead and died in the West and rose again in the East.
Jonah was a christ or sun-god. The sign of the Goat in the Buddhist zodiac is represented by a leviathan or whale vomiting out the sacred Elephant, or sun, or Son of God. When the sun entered the sign of the Leviathan in December it was swallowed by the whale, but was vomited out again three days later on the 25th of December, when the sun commenced to return. Hence the story of Jonah and the whale, which has been so hard to swallow, and which has taxed our piety to the limit.
Ies is the Phoenician name of the god Bacchus. Ies, or Iesu, or Jesus was stolen from the Phoenicians and Egyptians, and the god Christos was taken from the Hindus and thrown together into the melting pot of Potoman of Alexandria, and out came Jesus Christ. Potoman compiled the Christian religion from Hindu, Greek and Egyptian originals.
If God made man in his own image, why does he have to be redeemed? It is true that man stubbed his toe and fell, but it was because he obeyed the command of God to increase and multiply. The Yogis claim that Christ was not virgin born, but was a virgin spirit split off of God and came to redeem the world. If he redeemed the world, how is it that the people are worse now than they ever were, that the history of his religion has been a history of depravity, vice, crime, murder and carnage, which has now culminated in a world-orgy of savagery, pillage and slaughter, of which the fiends in Hell would be incapable? How is it that the beasts, which have never been redeemed, the doves, the rabbits, the lambs, the deer, are far superior to us who were bought by the blood?
CHAPTER IX
Hell-fire and Brimstone.
You’ll burn in Hell ten thousand years,
In vain will be your cries and tears,
You’ll burn in Hell till ages meet,
