Plenty of Western intellectuals admired the Communists. Plenty still do.

There's a difference between admiring an ideal and admiring their practices, however.

Plenty of Western intellectuals admire Christian ideals too, while abhorring many of the things that are done in the name of those ideals.

Your thoughts on the hypothesis that the person known as Jesus was a schizophrenic suffering from grandiose delusions ? Plausible ?
Schizophrenics aren't generally very effective people. If they become famous it's for horrific acts of violence.

Well he only started his ministry at age 30 and was crucified 3 turbulent years later. Agree he was not very effective.

Two thousand years later you’ve heard of him though, haven’t you?

Well they wrote a book about him IIRC which became a best seller and more than 1600 movies are based on the story.

His popularity would not exceed that of Mohammed (sp) however. His story has parallels.

The solstices and equinoxes are objective astrological events. They are the obvious time to stage a holy day, and when the pagans became Christians why wouldn't they keep their holidays? They didn't throw away their culture or language.

Come as you are.

Is there anything you dont know about?
I mean what the hell have you spent your whole life doing - Reading?
