"What are your conclusions about the facts they claim in the video? Is it reasonable and worth considering? Can it resolve debates about different religions?"

My conclusion, arrived at a long time before seeing this video, is that the world is full of deception, and one has to work quite hard to see through it all.

Any organisation that sets up Superiors to intercede between man and God seems blatantly misguided and deceptive. God is available to any and all of us. I don't believe he favours those who wear expensive clothes, gold jewelry, and who claim to be holier than other men.

God is a concept of goodness. God almost transcends definition. He is everything that evil (or the devil) is not. He is a very simple concept really, until he becomes institutionalised in the form of religeon. Religeon seems to me to just set up systems of power, gatekeeping, and revenue raising. It seems to have very little relevance to the relationship between God and man.

Why do all these religeons seem to have so much in common? Perhaps it is just because they all use a well proven formula that works wonderfully to gain revenue, power, and glory for their various hierarchies.

Thanks for posting the videos. I did not know that there were so many similarities between the Egyptian mythology and Christianity. Many religions have a hierarchy of deities. Any religion that has a son or daughter of God is not logical.

I feel that Islam has the perfect concept of God, the Perfect. To me, Islam makes the most sense out of all the religions.

Here is a translation from the Quran.

Chapter 41 verse 37. And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate to AllÃ¢h Who created them, if you worship Him.

38. But if they are too proud , then there are those who are with your Lord who glorify Him night and day, and never are they tired.

Chapter 5 "Table Spread"

17. Surely, in disbelief are they who say that AllÃ¢h is the Messiah, son of Maryam . Say : "Who then has the least power against AllÃ¢h, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam , his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to AllÃ¢h belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And AllÃ¢h is Able to do all things.

18. And the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of AllÃ¢h and His loved ones." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to AllÃ¢h belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return.

19. O people of the Scripture ! Now has come to you Our Messenger making clear unto you, after a break in Messengers, lest you say: "There came unto us no bringer of glad tidings and no Warner." But now has come unto you a bringer of glad tidings and a Warner. And AllÃ¢h is Able to do all things.

I agree: different natural stones may be put together at one's liking, indeed.

But all different natural stones have the same origin.

All the facts drawn in this video are as related as different natural stones can be related or put together at one's liking. But they have nothing to do with the traditions from which they sprang or attributed to. This is clear for anyone who have read the studies of different traditions.

its really interesting. you know what. i start thinking about that are Jusus Christ and Allah both from the same god,

i mean, may be, the "name" is the only difference between them. Actually, they both spread similar messages to us.

SUN - the root of all religions?

I think it's pretty interesting.

If what they say is true, why are all these debates about different religions, different prophets, different gods, etc taking place? If what they say is true, it means we all have the same "god", and all religions actually give an idea about it but each one interprets it a bit defferently.

So the question is...

What are your conclusions about the facts they claim in the video? Is it reasonable and worth considering? Can it resolve debates about different religions?
