Egypt : Buddha was an Egyptian Priest.........

[info-moetry]

Someone still seems to be having a VERY HARD TIME LEAVING THEIR RELIGION @ THE DOOR AS EL HAJJ SUGGESTED!!

I know that in brooklyn, or any of the 5 boroughs that if you gonna talk about it, u dam sure better be about it or you will get yo @ss handed to you and your name thrown in the trash. So it's no wonder this individual never seems to leave the comfort of his home.

Page 22 of the book you cited negates your entire premise.

Here is what is stated in the text by Kersey Graves:

"A more potent cause, however, for the proximate identity extending to such an elaborate detail, as is evinced by the foregoing schedule, is found in the historical incident
p. 22
which brought the disciples of the various systems of worship together, face to face, in the then grand religious emporium of the world—the royal and renowned city of Alexandria, the capital of Egypt. Here, drawn together by various motives and influences, the devotee of India (the devout disciple of Buddhism), the ever-prayerful worshipper of "Mithra, the Mediator," the representatives of the crucified Quexalcoate of Mexico, the self-denying Essene, the superstitious Egyptian, the godly Chaldean, the imitative Judean founders of Christianity, and the disciples of other sin-atoning Gods, met and interchanged ideas, discussed their various dogmas, remolded their doctrines, and recast and rehabilitated their systems of religious faith by borrowing from each other, and from other systems there represented. In this way all became remarkably similar and alike in all their doctrines and details. And thus the mystery is solved, and the singular resemblance of all the ancient systems of religion satisfactorily accounted for. (For a fuller explanation of this matter, see Chapters XXX. and XXXI. of this work.)
In conclusion, please note the following points:—
1. The religious conceptions of the Old Testament are as easily traced to heathen sources as those of the New Testament. But we are compelled to exclude such an exposition from this work.
2. The comparative exhibition of the doctrines and teachings of twenty bibles which proves them to be in their leading features essentially alike (originally designed for this volume), is found to be, when completed, of sufficient magnitude to constitute a volume of itself.
3. Here I desire to impress upon the minds of my clerical brethren the important fact, that the gospel histories of Christ were written by men who had formerly been Jews (see Acts xxi. 20), and probably possessing the strong proclivity to imitate and borrow which their bible shows
p. 23
was characteristic of that nation; and being written many years after Christ's death, according to that standard Christian author, Dr. Lardner, it was impossible, under such circumstances, for them to separate (if they had desired to) the real facts and events of his life from the innumerable fictions and fables then afloat everywhere relative to the heathen Gods who had pre-enacted a similar history. Two reasons are thus furnished for their constructing a history of Christ almost identical with that of other Gods, as shown in chapters XXX., XXXI. and XXXII. of this work."

kind of a far step from claiming Ghautama was a Kemetic priest

Now everyone has 2 eyes, two lungs, 2 internal sexual organs, 2 hands, and basically 2 concepts of life, love what is good and the general good of their family spouse and child, and a hate for what is detrimantal to their family.

The notion that altruism, and empathic philosophy is the monopoly of one person or one group is the ethic and bully pulpit of white supremacy and has been for 500 years.
The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors: Christianity before Christ [Paperback]

Kersey Graves

this book illustrates the universality of ethical precepts amongst the worlds indigenous and ancient religions.

So there is no need for street scholarship conjectures or statements of assumption, that book has been around for a minute, over 100 years to be exact!

Since this text was introduced let's look behind the rhetoric and show and prove exactly what Graves asserts in his text.

"The singular and senseless defense of your now tottering system we have known to be attempted by members of your order, by the self-complacent soliloquy "Christianity, whether divine or human, is good enough for me." But such a subterfuge betrays both a weak mind and a weak cause."

 

[Omowale Jabali]

"We will here notice another feeble, futile and foolish expedient we have known resorted to by persons of your order to save your sinking cause when the evidence is presented with such cogency as to admit of no disproof, that all the important doctrines of Christianity were taught by older heathen systems before the era of Christ. The plea is, that those systems were mere types, or ante-types, of the Christian religion. But this plea is of itself a borrowed subterfuge of heathenism, and is moreover devoid of evidence. The ancient Egyptians, also the Greeks, claimed that Brahminism was a type, or ante-type, of their religious systems. And Mohammedans now claim that both Judaism and Christianity were designed by God as foreshadowing types of religion of the Koran. And the disciples of more than a thousand systems of religion which have flourished in past ages, could have made such logic equally available in showing, in each case, that every system preceding theirs was designed by Infinite Wisdom as simply a typical or ante-typical forerunner of theirs. How ridiculous and senseless, therefore, is the argument thus shown to be when critically examined in the light of history! So much so as scarcely to merit a serious notice."

 

[Omowale Jabali]

"In conclusion, permit us to say that the numerous and overwhelming facts of this work render it utterly impossible that the exalted claims you put forth for your religion and its assumed author (that of a divine character) can be true. And posterity will so decide, whether you do or not."
