SA and y'all:

SA said to dmb:
I am referring to your Sat Apr 8 13:59:23 PDT 2006 post.  You are mentioning 
a literal God is from a mythology and that Christ was not literally here.  I 
am saying Buddha was literally here, and why after all the documents from 
that time period do you need to argue that Christ was not a literal person 
who was one with G-d?  Any of the other questions I have are referenced from 
your posting on the above given date and time.  Any questions in particular 
you have refer to that posting and my comments to that posting.  If you have 
any other questions from my posting please feel free to ask specifically and 
I will try to clarify them for you.

OK, I went back to that Saturday post to see check it out. Correct me if I'm 
wrong, but I only wrote one short paragraph. The vast majority of the post 
is composed of about ten quotes from a variety of voices such as Joseph 
Campbell, Ken Wilber, Robert Pirsig, Northrop, a book titled JESUS AND THE 
LOST GOSPEL and another called THE JESUS MYSTERIES. And to make things even 
more confusing, I don't think I or any of those quotes denied that Jesus or 
Buddha ever existed. There is usually an advertisment in the back of certain 
kinds of magazines that offers a booklet that "proves" Jesus never existed, 
that the historian Josephus simply made it all up. But I've never read that 
little booklet and don't know anyone who has. In any case, in terms of 
denying the historical Jesus, that little unread booklet is the only person, 
place or thing I've ever heard of.

I imagine that what you're really asking about is the distinction between an 
historical view and a mythical view of Jesus, but misread one of those 
quotes. I could guess and try to provide a general answer, but it would be 
helpful to know SPECIFICALLY what you're asking about. As you know, this is 
very easy to do. Just reply to the post you're asking about and don't delete 
the lines in question.

Thanks,
dmb
