The Divine is beyond any label or myth or name

After coming to see the bible as a collection of myths and legends, I feel a sense of aversion whenever I come across blogs or comments that still hold on to the idea of Jesus as a historical figure, and talking about sin and hell. In my mind, I was basically cursing and swearing at such religious ideologies.

I actually think it is very normal to react like that. To me, this belief system is unfortunately not only based on ancient mythology, but also creates divisions among people, discriminating against those people who do not profess to follow "Jesus", and propagating the illusion of separation.

That's the reason I have decided to read the book "Who was Jesus - fingerprints of the Christ" by D.M. Murdock. It was written by the same author whose books were used as a basic resource to produce the movie "Zeitgeist", which sought to debunk the whole Jesus hoax. My curiosity has been stirred to want to find out more about how the whole Jesus myth came about, and what motivated the early century writers to come up with such a compelling myth. My conclusion for now is that it was meant to serve the purpose of rebelling against the Roman authority back then. It would no longer serve that purpose in our day and age.

People are awakening, and leaving the institutional church for good. Hence, evangelical preachers are getting nervous. Even progressive christians appear to be making last ditch attempts to "save" the idea of a historical Jesus, and tries to make him the ruler of everything through their latest books and blogs. But the truth be known, the Source or Divine, as I understand it, is beyond any label or myth or name. As long as people are attached to a person or deity or ideology or label, they are still bound in some ways to pledge allegiance to a particular group or dogma or denomination. This mindset goes against the grain of universal love and unity and brotherhood.
