Lena Einhorn's ideas
Re: Lena Einhorn's ideas
To me....it seems like attributing too much, too many contradictory qualities, to just one man.
I could be dead wrong.

Though I confess that the idea that arguably one of the world's most profound and humanistic and loving philosophies was nothing but part of a cynical ploy is rather...tickling.
And a bit sad.

I have even heard it suggested that there was a Chrestus. A good man. Which I suppose might mean that Christ is not, after all, the koine Greek word for messiah. Or something. Because I find it hard to assume that there were Chrestians and Christians floating around simultaneously. What are the odds?

Someone once said that the difference between a cult and a Religion is that in a cult there is one guy at the top that knows it's all a scam.
In a Religion that guy is dead.
