RE: The Great Virgin Mother Isis - Ancient Mythology is not a Cheeseburger

Quote:(1) Isis was the sister -wife of Osiris,not a virgin..
Cheeseburger! This is exactly the superficial, apologetic interpretation of the Isis mythology, my article addressed, yet it seems you have either not read the article properly, or failed to comprehend it. In anycase, if you cannot comprehend a "first year undergraduate" paper, then I would suggest, Spot the Dog, perhaps!
Quote:(2) Some myths are based on fact,most are not. At least that is what I was taught at university whilst studying anthropology..
Irrelevent.
Quote: (3) Campbell's work is tainted by theosophy,his work stuck in the nineteenth century. A competent modern anthropologist would not use the term 'primitive' anything..
Did not use Campbell as an authority. 1. Buddhist parable addressing the way those, like yourself, interpret ancient mythology. Let go of the elephant's ear!
Quote:Overall, I think your proposition is of mild interest, although unoriginal, sloppy and inconclusive. I suggest go away and do some serious research under supervision and write a proper thesis.
I do not see the reason for this comment, so I did not address it.
Quote:To me, your article smells a little of the well known crackpottery of "Zeitgeist"'
Acharya and I have certainly had our differences in the past, but if you read her 'Christ in Egypt' you should find it to be quite well written and sourced.
Quote:PS I too thought you had been banned. We'll soon find out;if you're a sock puppet, you won''t last long.
Childish!
