Ay Kev, how's everything (not as exhaustingly busy as it is with me I hope? lol)

Chopra start bad; there was no historical Jesus, at least not any Jesus whose teachings became the "foundation of Christian theology and thought"; that is a amalgam of already existing Pharasaic philosopy and the Wisdom Teachings of Egypt, India and Sumer. I mean, this has been known and spoken about for years, when will the Deepak Chopras of the world just tell their readers that and stop perpetuating what even they know is not correct?

If he was to speak openly about the patricentric cultural ideologies that fed Western Xianity (like Judaism before it) perhaps more people would finally come to understand just why the religion paints itself as this exclusionary faith, different and superior to all others. Personal insight and growth was never part of the Western Christian ethic, otherwise the Gnostics would not have been wiped out.
