<p>Imagine that Christianity lasts for another thousand years and that after the flourishing of the story of Jesus&rsquo;s life, death, resurrection, and ascension for those three millennia, another religion replaces Christianity but only by adapting the key themes and presuppositions of that former religion to a post-Christian social context.</p> <p>Now suppose that the priests of this post-Christian faith use their quasi-Christian mythos not to elevate the practitioners but to degrade and control them, so that the very question of whether the post-Christian religion is syncretically related to the worship of Jesus becomes taboo.</p> <p>The fact that most Christians could engage in that thought experiment without seeing the irony in Christianity&rsquo;s actual relation to the ancient Egyptian worship of Osiris, Isis, and Horus is astonishing.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/interfaith-now/jesus-and-osiris-how-christianity-adapted-egyptian-myths-c63ef171cd10"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
