"'Suns of God' is a Brilliant Work!"
Hi there -
I've recently received some enthusiastic comments about my book "Suns of God:
Krishna, Buddha and Christ Unveiled," and I thought you might like to see them.
http://tbknews.blogspot.com/2008/09/indians-praise-suns-of-god.html
Contrary to rumors by those who have not read my books, I do not simply "debunk"
religion. In actuality, I love religion, and I am attempting to cultivate
carefully the good parts, while incinerating the bad. The spirit with which my
writing is meant is wonderfully encapsulated by a lovely Indian person who
recently wrote a review of my book "Suns of God."
My work - especially as exemplified in my book "Suns of God" - represents a
one-of-a-kind, in-depth look at the origins of the world's most popular
religious concepts.
Check it out!

"You LOVE religion?!"
"You LOVE religion?!"
Hi there -
Well, it seems some people were pretty amazed by my last message, in which I clarified that I am not "anti-religion," per se, but that I "love religion."
One person asked, "What's to love?" Another individual thought I was backing down from my long-held position of being a fierce critic of religion.
Not to worry! I will NEVER stop criticizing the depraved aspects of religion. But, again, I am not "anti-religion" in that I want it all stamped out and banned.
As I have explained many times over the years, I have been fascinated with the world's religions since I was very young. I have dedicated my life to studying religion - and exposing BOTH the good and bad aspects of it. In short, one generally does not dedicate one's life to something one hates. (Obviously, a case could be made for various occupations.) Hence, I say I love religion, because it fascinates me as the most profound mental exploration a human being can engage in.
I thought I would pass along a "little" side project I've been working on, while I'm finishing up my book "Christ in Egypt," that illustrates my passion - and LOVE - for religion. Call it MYTHOLOGY, if that makes you feel better!

On my forum, I have been discussing various ancient Egyptian hymns and spells, including this lovely prayer to the Sun:
You are the light, which rises for humankind;
the sun, which brings clarity,
so that gods and humans be recognised and distinguished
when you reveal yourself.
Every face lives from seeing your beauty,
all seed germinates when touched by your rays,
and there is no-one who can live without you.
You lead everyone, because they have a duty to their work.
You have given form to their life, by becoming visible.
(Dr. Jan Assman, "Egyptian Solar Religion of the New Kingdom," 78.)
Now, THIS is what I love about religion - the beauty, poetry and grace. There is much more of the same, as well as other passages from the Egyptian texts that reveal religious and spiritual concepts found in the later Christianity, on my forum -

Bill Maher Raises Horus from the Dead!
Hi there -
Imagine my surprise when I heard that Bill Maher, plugging his new movie "Religulous," was on the highly popular show "The View" discussing the Egyptian god Horus!
In the segment provided below of the brave Maher's appearance among "The View's" she-wolves, he first says that the story of the virgin-born savior who rose from the dead was popular around the Mediterranean for a "thousands years" before Christianity. Bill then relates that Horus raised "Lazarus" from the dead. Maher next attempts to raise "the Indian god Krishna," but he's cut off.
Now, Maher could only have gotten that information about Horus from a few places, one of which is my work.
