Myth of Religion; The Solar Messiahs God's Sun Christ Horus

“Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.”




Most people are familiar with this prayer, but just who is “our Father which art in heaven?” If you’re one of the 224,437,959 Americans who identify themselves as Christian, then your “father” is Jesus Christ. In fact, as of 2000, 33% of the Entire World, claim to be followers of Jesus. So who is He? Where did He come from? A simple answer to these questions is: he is the “Son of God.” A more complex and controversial (perhaps truer) answer is: he is the “Sun of God.”



Why would this obviously controversial video be uploaded? I see only one reason: To get people to think, to question what they have been taught. Religion is one of the things you learn growing up. Your parents take you to the church of their religion, and that’s it. You are in a way forced into a certain religion. If you grew up in a Christian home, more often than not, you will identify yourself as Christian. If you were raised in a Muslim home, you’d be Muslim. There is very little opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge of religion and choose which one you feel is best for you. By the time you do have the opportunity, you have already become a part of that religion and you do not want to break free. Today’s society is in dire need of this video, because it forces us to examine what we believe. With media today showing all kinds of things, it has become increasingly harder to determine whether something is true or not. It takes extra research in to everything, before you can make a reliable decision.
This videos message is a relatively simple one: Christianity is an anthropomorphic zed representation of the sun. To some this is a hard pill to swallow, but if taken in to examination, it is completely logical. In ancient times, people had no advanced technology. That means if crops were not growing, they had no way of knowing that maybe it was the wrong type of soil. They knew nothing of the water cycle, so rain was seen as a chance happening, “magical.” So how could they explain certain phenomenon? Some believe they created religion. They created the notion of an almighty being that controlled everything. They also acknowledged that some things were out of there control, and in order for things to work smoothly, they would have to worship and give sacrifice to the Almighty. Thus religion was borne. Also, the lack of technology (i.e. light, clocks) resulted in ancient people having to perform all duties around the schedule of the sun. When the sun rose, it was time to get up. When the sun went down, it was time to sleep. The ancient people also relied on the sun for time. Being a mainly agricultural society, the sun was also detrimental to their food supply. With the sun basically controlling ancient life, what could be more powerful? Hence, the emergence of the “sun gods.” Most, if not all ancient societies had some form of a sun god. Each just slightly different than the next. The video shows the closeness and similarities of the gods. Time and time passed, the something happened to shape religion. People no longer stayed in their native lands. More and more people began to travel to different places bringing along with them their ideas and customs. As people interacted, ideas exchanged, but as true as it is today, people interpreted things different. Somewhere along the line, the fact that the gods were personifications of the sun got lost, and the idea that the gods were real people emerged. Christianity is a relatively new religion. So of course, it would have to derive it’s beginning from previous sources. Justinian I, in the Code of Justinian set out to make Christianity the ultimate religion. But people were used to pagan gods, so Justinian conformed Christianity to satisfy pagans. The fact that Christmas is on the 25th of December, ( the pagan god Mithra’s birthday), the Sabbath day Is Sunday –“day of sun”(he enforced a national Sunday law, anyone worshipping any other day was prosecuted) and many other Christian traditions was due to conforming to paganism. And the pagan tradition at the time: sun worship. If one would take the time to study religion deeply, they will be amazed at what they would find.
The significance of a video such as this is that it shows a different side of a popular idea. If you ask most people about God and religion, you would hear a one sided story; “ohh, yeah it’s true.” “You should believe.” “God is real.” Rarely, will you hear contradiction. This video shows that not everyone is conforming to society ( There is also a theory, that government wants it’s people to believe in a
God, because of the idea that you must be “good” and it makes people think that some thing are not in their control, thus making them allow to be governed). This video is for anyone willing to learn more about a thing that affects their life daily.

This video was interesting and amazing to me. It opened my eyes and my mind, to things I would have never seen nor imagined. Religion is a touchy subject to a lot of folks. Most people avoid the subject altogether. Whether or not you believe this video is up to the person watching. In all fairness, no one can tell for sure whether there is a god or not. Maybe there are things in which man can never understand.
