Both were writers. Acharya is more devoted to the whole "Christ conspiracy" idea, and Joseph Campbell was a professor and writer covering comparative religion and mythology. He did a PBS series in the '80's called "The Power of Myth" that was very popular. It might sound negative and critical but it isn't — he just doesn't believe it is literal.
I am listening to Acharya right now. She is repeating a lot of claims I have heard in the past.
Feel free to debunk any claims. I always think the best way to seek truth is to debate both sides of a matter. I don't feel strongly about her work, but I recall it making me wonder.
"Kon Tiki" was the name of both the original documentary film (1950) and the dramatised version (2012) but not the book.
You're thinking of the dramatised version, released in 2012.
You are talking about taking on a lot of material there so I'd have to really dig into it a ways. A lot of what she is saying so far was repackaged for the zeitgeist movie (a rather poorly done film that is full of error) and has already been debunked by quite a few people. They/her make claims kinda like "Christ is just a repackaged sun god, sol invictus whose birthday is Dec 25". I used to believe that. Well, the Russian orthodox church is on the old calendar and orthodox Christmas is Jan 7, not Dec 25th, just as an example. The new calendar is called new because it is very new, 1923......
I was missing Daniel days ago. You're just jaded by protestant christianity IMO, which is understandable. It's why I didn't go to church for 20 years.Damn. I'm starting to miss Dan.
This is the earth is round thread bro. I'm not sure what it has to do with Christianity.
It's 82 pages of mostly religious debate so apparently it has something to do with bible topics I guess, lol.
I go out and work on a few guns and come back in and it's 15 pages longer.
I think I can explain this:
A flawed interpretation of Christianity yes. The Bible doesn't really say what shape it is.
I can appreciate your point @VonBonfire but Jesus did not handle the Pharisees that way, He regularly called them out, even told them that they were of their father - the Devil.
You fell out before you addressed the Matthew 25 post on page 80.
He is the the overlord of never ending arguments. Often ones he himself doesn’t believe.
It doesn't bother me. I appreciate his open mindedness to non-mainstream ideas. Most people just get pissed off if you question official stories or suggest a conspiracy theory in place of commonly accepted explanations.He is the the overlord of never ending arguments.

As evidenced by these threads I'd say. My late buddy "introduced" me to the idea of the flat earth and I was so annoyed. But then I got to thinking about it all and started bugging the crap out of him (He had been messing with me at the time). I can still see him look down, sigh and shake his head. Totally backfired, haha.
