Has any of the people bashing Lestat and Crishna actually read any book from magistrates that its their proffession studying religious history and myths?
That's pretty funny.
The only real bashing going on is FROM them. -And the only reason THAT is happening is because they do not read the Bible to understand it themselves, but instead take another person's synopsis. Which is exactly what you are accusing others of.
If not, then these people have no business talking, cuz they have not read ALL the material there is to form INDIVIDUAL opinion about the subject. All I have to say is go at least Google Mithras, Osiris, Isis, The story of the Two brothers/Joseph, Gilgamesh and compare it to the Bible and then come back and speak up.
By the same argument, nobody not familiar with the Bible has no right to speak against it either.
Yet, in America, freedom of speech is a right no matter what you know or don't know.
To me the Bible is nothig more but a colection of the history of the Israelis and older myths combined together
Yet, matters of opinion are not matters of fact. When considering if or where life after this will be spent, it behooves us to figure out what is the right or proper answer. If we CHOOSE NOT TO, we end up with matters of opinion so we can dodge fact.
I prefer to prove and determine fact. Therefore, I have become familiar with Mormonism, Jehovas Witnesses, Cathiolicism, Islam, Wicca, and a few others FROM THEIR SOURCE MATERIAL. -Then made decisions as to which was fact based on PROOF.
I would urge others to not merely prove to themselves simple things of Earthly ramifications, but simply prove from the source which things pertaining to afterlife are true. 100 years on Earth ain't nothin' compared to eternity.
