blasphemous take on christian mythology

[SueS]

I realize that Stargate bends a lot of historical facts, but making Genesis predate the Egyptians is a big historical error. In reality, the various Goddess Cults and the Cult of Apophis both predated Genesis...

Hmmm...

christiananswers.net sounds like it is a highlly biased POV.

I tend to view such sites with as jaundiced an eye as I might view a website of The Church of Scientology or The Watchtower... more spin than scholarly value.

I'm sure you won't like the sites I like.. they treat the Bible as any other mythology. So try the Wikipedia.org, Genesis, instead.

I'm assuming by your "sounds like it is a highlly biased POV" that you haven't actually read the article I originally linked to. I'm also assuming that when you say "highly biased", you are assuming the article is erroneous.

So, instead of assuming that it's biased or assuming that it is erroneous, why don't you actually read the article and then tell me where, why, and how you think the author is biased or in error.

Perhaps a better model would be scientology. L. Ron Hubbard just made that up out of whole cloth.. unless you actually believe it was divine inspiration and not a bet with Asimov.

Wasn't it Theodore Sturgeon at a Worldcon that Hubbard had the bet with?

Interesting thread.

Wait until you get to Kings. Our friend Ba'al turns up quite a bit (or rather, his worshippers do).

Excuse for me to play an episode of Stargate to my mythology students...

Hmmm, interesting, yet I prefer the myth of the flat earth and giant turtle swimming through space. Also, the one that goes 'plop'.
