Description: [READ Description] New Channel 4 Christmas special Documentary. Google video link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7956238808750388174&hl=en-CA Aired: December 25, 2007 Duration 1:40:53 Info: Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one. http://atheistmedia.blogspot.com - |

| Riikara ::: Favorites 2007-12-28 11:13:24 truely fascinating. The similarities between Christ and Horus are quite striking as well, similar teachings, similar birth stories...look it up! __________________________________________________ | |

| subach ::: Favorites 2007-12-28 03:26:49 Remember the official explanation for all savior stories predating Jesus is that the devil did it. __________________________________________________ | |
| Jbear9 ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 20:29:03 Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion-several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat, if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven. Mark Twian __________________________________________________ | |
| lovasip ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 15:57:10 Remember "correlation does not mean causation" I think the simple fact that there is more than one "one true religion" is very telling alone. __________________________________________________ | |
| Censeo ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 15:44:33 Lets not argue who's Jesus died where and when, and what fuckin miracles he did. How about listen to what he taught as to how to live a good life. And the apocalypse stories... Sure they risk happen. It is called self fulfilled prophecies. Believe in war, and guess what you'll find. __________________________________________________ | |
| hibasowhat ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 15:40:53 Why is that the concept of Jesus living and dying in Kashmir seems so far fetched to the Presenter? But the idea (given by mainstream Muslims and Christians), that Jesus (as) rose "bodily" into heaven and sits on the right side of God, seems like fact - there is no evidence to proove this. Wheras there is evidence to suggest that Jesus died and lived in Kashmir. It's not far fethched and most of us just need a reality check!! - Comment given by a Ahmadi Muslim. __________________________________________________ | |
| RodHullIAmHim ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 15:33:58 Wow, at about 51 mins into the full version of this really reminded me of a program about how Muslim apostates were hounded at their home and how the church of Scientology behaves... Their all bastards... No religion is a about peace when it comes down to it... __________________________________________________ | |
| RodHullIAmHim ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 14:35:09 Totally agree... At least he's digging into it though... Surely he'll work out it's all myth at some point... :D __________________________________________________ | |
| mafiagranny ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 11:54:21 However, he stated in this documentry that alot of the teachings and messages were stolen too! __________________________________________________ | |
| chalkers ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 11:15:39 Robert Beckford never ceases to amaze me on how completely stupid he is. He exposes the floors, draws comparisons and jumps to a pseudo-christian theological conclusion at the end of every one of his documentaries. I don't know why this guy doesn't let go of god? Why can't he see that they are all stories, stolen from each other and none of them NEED to be true? __________________________________________________ | |
| ABarton43 ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 08:35:44 Almost all of his discussion on Mithraism is a conflatation of 4th B.C.E. Persian Mithraism and 1st C.E. Roman Mithraism. The two are joined in name only. See 'The Religion of the Mithras Cult in the Roman Empire:Mysteries of the Unconquered Sun' by Roger Beck Oxford University Press 2007 for example. I trust this will suffice to demonstrate the lack of fidelity to genuine historical analysis this documentary has. __________________________________________________ | |
| ABarton43 ::: Favorites 2007-12-27 08:35:32 No serious scholar believes Beckford's theory. You have to go back to the 1950's to find F. C. Bauer's theories. Hence Becford interviews priests. The only Mithra scholar he interviewed said the similiarities did not mean they are linked. He makes quite a few gaffs. Such as Christ comes from Krishna. Christos is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew Mashiah (Messiah). __________________________________________________ | |
