How come fucking "jesus" had to spit in a man's eye to cure his "blindness?" Such a pig, that jesus was!
Science beats the phony Galilean bullshitter every time.
The curing blindness isn't even an original trope to Christianity. Vespasian was rumored to have done the same. But even older and you can see the relics of that mythology in modern business in America, is that of the modern pharmacy "Rx" symbol we see outside modern pharmacies.
The capital "R" part of it is the Egyptian god Thot, and the lower case "x" is the extension of the spit or mud, depending on which version, going in the the "x" or eye of Horus, to cure his blindness.
But hebrews/Christians also stole the flood story from the "Epic of Gilgamesh", simply changed the numbers of days and amount of animal stock/resources. And the "eye for an eye" trope was taken from "The Code Of Hammurabi". Not to mention the character "Yahweh" which lead to all three religions of Abraham was a character taken from the polytheistic Canaanites.
Funny how the polytheism and monotheism of those generations all were in close proximity in Mesopotamia.
All true.
But, don't tell the Baptists.
I had one assure me that they have been of the same beliefs since the time of Jesus. After all, I was told - haven't I ever heard of John the Baptist??
