Re: Question
OK, another point. The article always backs up the religion by saying the rituals are all from Judiasm.
OK, thats understandable, but then, without going back and researching Judiasm, how do we know that Judiasm did not borrow from the other religions of the time? There is no proof that Judiasm, the religion, was the first to mention any of these terms, nor is their proof that other religions 'borrowed' from Judiasm, is there?
All these myths are so far entangled in the same basis, its not possible to say that, 'OK, there are similarities in all the myths, but one set of beliefs has their own definitions for everything, the terms used, no matter how similar, are different and have different meanings, but those have not been plagiarized because they are not exact replicas of other stories".
No matter if the myths are exactly alike, we all know how facts get smudged over time. So how can we be definite about anything? When we know all the corruption that has occurred over time, the facts that have been distorted, the myths that were told and told and retold, the basis of the story is usually the same, but the details are different.
Its impossible to use those small differences to distinguish anything, because of all the truths and such that is open to interpretation, therefore we cannot ever be sure of the true meaning of a lot of things, because of conflicting definitions and such.
