For christians [Spirituality & Religion]

According to (John14:6) The way to Heaven is only through Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone. Our Lord Jesus Christ is Himself the way to Heaven. He does not merely show the way; He is the way. Salvation is only in the person of Jesus Christ.

Now imagine you grow up in a country where christianity is not the dominant religion and you’ve never heard of it. You go your entire life living according to your cultures customs and practices. You eventually die and you find yourself going to hell because of you followed the “wrong religion”

Another example, christianity is once again not the dominant religion but you are familiar with some of its teachings but you still follow the dominant religion because of you agree with it’s teachings and the various miracles you witness. You eventually die and go to hell because you followed the “wrong religion”

Hell has been described as a place of eternal damnation and torment. Emphasis on Eternal. And I reiterate, you were BORN in the wrong religion and you’re going to hell for it. Explain to me exactly how that is an appropriate punishment for believing in the wrong god?

Why do you say that?

Qwerty14

@Harriet03 You should know that this meme has been debunked a billion times over. Most of the things listed aren't part of each deity's story and they all have far less in common with Jesus that stuff they have in common.

Where?

Qwerty14

@NortiusMaximus Well the biggest proponent of this misinformation was Peter Joseph from Zeitgeist and he actually retracted the entire segment in his doco claiming how most of the info isn't accurate. Like even the first point "Horus born of a virgin"... Nope Horus was born of Isis and Osiris. And it just gets even less accurate from there.

I know most of the mythology quite well so I'll tell you who these deities are more like: [b]Horus[/b] is most like Apollo. They even parallel in the sense that they're both sons of the king and queen of the gods. Both have the sun as a symbol and both and very violent sisters. [b]Mithra[/b] is a lot like Horus and Apollo as well, also a sun god, but the myth behind him is very similar to that of Prometheus. He gives first man light so they can thrive. [b]Krishna[/b] shares more parallels with Oedipus or Moses. Prophecy of a boy who will grow up to kill his uncle so the mother sends him away to not be killed. Ultimately he comes back and topples a kingdom in the process, killing hundreds. [b]Dionysus[/b] was the most hedonistic deity in Greek mythology. A lot like Bacchus. So unless you think getting drunk and having mass orgies in the woods falls in line with Jesus... You're barking up the wrong tree there.

Now as for birthdays or days of worship... Mithra's is the middle of July. Krishna's is usually end of August. Dionysus' is at the start of spring. I don't think Horus ever had one.
