Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

H Leucius Charinus, Yes, a great analogy. In the Cosby Demonology Mythology, long term mental illness is the factor that ties together nearly all the accusers. We should not overlook this when we look at the origins of Christianity. Warmly, Jay Raskin Hi Philosopher Jay, Tarshis - a great writer of ...

Dichotomy and Switch

Hi All, I am Still working on the Cosby Demon Mythology development. My latest understandings regards the importance of the National Enquirer in creating the Myth. The National Enquirer is a small tabloid selling about 350,000 copies per week now, but at its height in the 1980's, it had the largest ...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Leucius, I agree that we need to look at the propagation of the Christian message through media and cultic ritual. The epistles, the hymns, the gospel stories and the ritual meals all have to be taken into account. I have been found looking at the development of the Cosby Demon myth. There are a ...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Leucius Charinus, Yes, the pressure from the Sassanid Persians and Constantine's desire to reform a singular Roman Empire after it had been split into four essentially self-governing territories by Diocletian, is also important to consider. The adoptation of the Judaeo-Christian Monotheistic Myth...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Peter, Great point. Every town had an agora where public arguments and debates took place, perhaps equivalent to social media today. On the other hand, There were the House Churches and the scheduled meals that Paul describes. That may be compared to the tabloid meeting today. Since anybody could...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Leucius Charinus, Good questions. Joan Tarshis as you could see in the video can be considered part of the Women's Dominance Movement. Her little mental health history routine ended with the point that an "Asian male" doctor misdiagnosed her and almost had her committed to a mental inst...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi All, In thinking about a Monotheistic dominance movement using made up stories about Apostles, Jesuses and Christs, we should see the movement as the vehicle that spreads the stories. Where do the stories come from? I think examining the Demon Cosby Myth again gives us a strong clue. Here are two...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Leucius Charinus, I think of religion as a mythologized version of the actual world. You have hunter-gatherer tribes worshiping animal spirits because animals were powerful and could kill you or help you. In civilization, humans were dominant and humans determined your happiness or misery to a la...

Re: Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christiani

Hi Peter, Thanks, I appreciate that. Warmly, Jay Raskin Hi All, I am not sure why I can't find the Bill Cosby thread I started a few weeks ago.

Monotheistic Dominance Theory and the Rise of Christianity

Hi All, I am not sure why I can't find the Bill Cosby thread I started a few weeks ago. I did perhaps go too specifically into the details of the modern case and we brought up modern issues that strayed too far from Early Christian History. At that time I was more interested in seeing the possible p...
