But the opening bit where the film recounts the many rebirth-of-the-saviour myths from the time of the Sumerians onward to Jeebus was well-done. I already knew some of that, but to see how MANY there were, and how they both dovetailed and followed each other from ear to era, was revelatory. That made the hyperbole of the rest of the flick tolerable.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-14241648058206783882011-12-22T10:42:17.006-08:002011-12-22T10:42:17.006-08:00We once had the Jehovah Witness crew drop in on Ch...We once had the Jehovah Witness crew drop in on Christmas when we were belatedly decorating a potted tree. With a really supercilious grin, the lead guy asked me if I knew whose birthday it "really" was. <br /><br />I smiled back and said "Yes, my Lord Mithra has his birthday this day." Well, "hasty retreat" doesn't EVEN cover it, lol!<br /><br />And Yes, happy solstice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-65841056044618997892011-12-21T21:26:16.260-08:002011-12-21T21:26:16.260-08:00Happy solstice, Penguin!Happy solstice, Penguin!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492622196581763316noreply@blogger.com
