 The Life of Jesus Critically Examined: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The mythical view, on the contrary, needs no such subtleties; since the greater part of a narrative frequently belongs to the mythical representation merely, while the nucleus of fact, when divested of the subsequently added miraculous envelopments, is often very small.
The mythical and the allegorical view (as also the moral) equally allow that the historian apparently relates that which is historical, but they suppose him, under the influence of a higher inspiration known or unknown to himself, to have made use of this historical semblance merely as the shell of an idea—of a religious conception.
The imagination of the mythical interpreter is not inventive; his part is merely the recognizing and detecting of the fictitious.) According to Greiling the genetic, or mythical mode of explaining miracles, is a needless and arbitrary invention of the imagination.

 Sacred Scrolls of the Essene Church
When once we know that the origins were mythical, that the Christ was mystical, and the teachings in the mysteries were typical, we shall be able to utilise the gospel of Marcion as a connecting link between the Egyptian Mythos, the epistle of the Word of Truth, and the canonical history according to Luke.
Marcion's Jesus being mythical and not historical, he has no Jewish father and mother; consequently we find the test question:--"Is not this Joseph's son?" does not appear in the "Gospel of the Lord." It has been added by Luke.
In the scene on the Mount of Transfiguration, which is purely mythical, and therefore common to Osiris, Buddha, and Zarathustra, we are witness to the forging of another historical nexus in the statement that "Moses and Elijah appeared in glory and spake of his decease which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem" (Luke ix.

 The Holy Ghost of Oriental Origin
We will first exhibit a classification of the names and characteristics of this imaginary being drawn from the gospels and epistles of the Christian bible, by which it will be observed that scarcely any two references to it agree in assigning it the same character or attributes.
Thus, we observe that the various heterogeneous conceptions, discordant traditions, and contradictory superstitions appertaining to that anomalous nondescript being known as the Holy Ghost, are traceable to various oriental countries, and to a very remote antiquity.
It will be borne in mind by the reader that the Holy Ghost is represented in the Christian Scripture as being the active generating agent of Christ's conception, he being, as Matthew declares, "conceived by the Holy Ghost." The Holy Ghost was also the regenerating agent at his baptism.

And yet, Michael chooses to accept this, painfully, maintaining that the wisdom and emotionally enlightment she brought to him somehow compensates for her lack of physical being in his life; and that maybe on another level, the level they always communicated on, Neffie is always with him anyway.

The mythical being Stallo, who is encountered again and again in Sami stories, appears, when he does show himself, as a fine gentleman, clothed in fl and accompanied by a small dog.
In his encounters with Sami he is always being sent by Russians or other eastern people to avenge some injustice or insult of which the Sami were supposedly guilty.
Stallo challenges a dual – a fight to the death – and for the Sami it is a matter of cunning and quick-wittedness to kill the very strong Stallo if he doesn’t want to be killed himself.

 Jesus as a Mythical Copycat
Because the ancients recognized that all the various Mystery godmen were essentially the same mythic being, elements from different myths and rites were continually combined and recombined to create new forms of the Mysteries.
Mythic motifs from the Mysteries even became associated with Roman Emperors who, for political reasons, cultivated legends about their divine nature which would link them to Osiris-Dionysus.
These mythic motifs were clearly so common by the first century BCB that they were used to fabricate legends politically helpful to a living Emperor.

As the foregoing historical exposition exhibits the Holy Ghost as performing several distinct and discordant offices, so we likewise find it possessing at least two distinct genders, the masculine and neuter, i.e., no gender ­­ changing, ghost­like, from one to the other, as occasion seemed to require.
