ne has been following the recent controversy about the election of a gay priest into the leadership position by the Anglican Church. This writer was not surprised by the event and neither was he amused. When one read Steve Nwabuzor's piece : ANGLICANISM AND CHRISTENDOM UNDER TEST, his pains and frustrations were palpable. But for the tutored student of history, familiar with the origins and foundations of Christianity, it would be of little surprise what is happening today in Christianity. This writer do not agree that anyone or group of people are out there trying to smear Christianity. It is Christianity's duplicitous foundation and deceptive past that is catching up with it.

One of the major problems of Christianity is how it was fathomed and the reason it was fathomed. Like all things "cooked," it is self destructive. The Bible is the basis of Christianity. But the way and manner and the purpose for which it was put together actually set the basis for what we are seeing today - the recognition of a deception. As the Frenchman Voltaire once observed, if there was no God, it would have been necessary to invent one. But the wonders of our cosmos are awe inspiring enough to nurture the idea of a Supreme Being. Yet this is not necessarily a good enough excuse for inventing a religion based on deception.

First of all, the desire to deny Africa as the foundation of civilisation, the desire to create fear and engender mass submission for political and economic purposes which are obviously less altruistic are at the heart of the deceptions that Christianity represents. When the Bible came up with the fallacy that the Jews or the Israelites are the chosen ones, it never explained why the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ewe, Tutsi, Baganda, Hutu, Chinese, Indians, Fulani and others were not. From historical evidences, the Jewish priests invented the Bible which later became good instrument in the hands of Caucasian carpetbaggers.

What we are witnessing today is not yet the end of Christianity, but the beginning of the end for two thousand years of deception. While the majority of Caucasians would continue to come to their senses and jettison psychological slavery, Africa would also continue to rear its bloodied head, refusing to bow out and rejecting a travesty. It is difficult to deny the obvious truth and fact. But the Christian believers have used their Bible to deny Africa. As Gary Greenberg, president of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New York posited in his book "The Bible Myth: The African Origin of the Jewish People," the only reason there has never been any archaeological or documentary evidence predating the Exodus from Egypt and its aftermath is because the Jews or Israelites were Egyptians, followers of Pharaoh Akhenaten. But they would rather that the world do not know this, because Africa represents, in their own book, something negative. It is not a mistake that the Pharaohs were portrayed as mean spirited enslavers. In Egyptian records, the so called liberation struggle led by biblical Moses was referred to as a "civil war" between the princes.

Lloyd M. Graham agrees with Mr. Greenberg when in his own book "DECEPTIONS AND THE MYTHS OF THE BIBLE," he wrote inter alia:

"We must therefore recognize the fraudulent nature and false security these offer and learn again the true nature of Causation and our place in Creation. Of these things the aforesaid Initiates had great knowledge and they left us that knowledge in prereligious records - myth and scripture, zodiac and pyramid. These are the archives for the ancient wisdom but modern man cannot read them. It was this knowledge the priesthood copied and then destroyed."

As quoted elsewhere, the Bible is hardly the "word of God," according to Graham. He had overwhelming evidence that a variety of scholars have found incontrovertible: that the Bible's Eden, Adam and Eve were taken from the Babylonian account; that between Jesus and Egyptian Horus, there were 137 similarities and between Christ and Krishna several hundreds of similarities; that Noah's sons are copies, that Isaac's sacrifice, Solomon's judgement, Samson's pillar act are all copied from pagan sources; its Moses, fashioned after Syria's Mises; its laws after Hammurabi's code; its Messiah, derived from the Egyptian Mahdi, Savior, while certain verses are verbatim copies of Egyptian scriptures. And as far as the Ethiopian's are concerned in their ancient records, Book of Enoch, Noah was not a human being as the Jews would want us to believe.

As any honest and objective observer would agree, to contend that the Jews or Israelites alone have the monopoly of "visions" or "encounters with God" would amount to fraud. Religion usually emanates from a people's cultural experience. Every race or people have their own myths. To suggest that the Jewish myths are superior to any other myth as they and others who find it handy in their heinous agenda, have tried to do through the Bible is nothing but fraud, especially when those myths were hybrids of other surrounding cultures. Christianity is based on the Jewish mythologies, most of which are made up just like in other cultures. As with all myths, time always catch up with them

Graham contends that the only reason the masses of the people never got to read all the other sources about other gospels other than the Biblical one was "because Bible inspired fanatics destroyed them." He quoted St. Irenaeus who in 125 AD said, "There was a multitude of gospels" in his day. He then added:

"Those that came down to us are but the ones the priesthood needed for its purpose, the rest it destroyed. To realize these things the reader must know there was a vast conspiracy afoot when this book was written."

It is now clear via evidences that there was never any Twelve Tribes of Israel. It is now an open secret that no God ever promised any land to any group of people and that Palestine is not a "Promised Land." We now know that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were characters from the Egyptian mythology. It is now supported by credible evidence that mythical Prophet Daniel who allegedly held lions captive in their den was a copy from a North Syrian poem written before 1500 BC. We now know that the story of Jonah swallowed and vomited by a mythical whale is a plagiarisation of the Heracleid in which Hercules was swallowed by fish from precisely the same place, Joppa, and had similar experience as the Biblical Jonah. Yet there are other similarities of the same myth in Persian Jamshyd, the Greek Arion, the Idian Saktadeva among several others that records show predated the advent of the Jewish Bible. Add all these to the contradictions embedded in the Bible. Then, consider the circumstances surrounding the struggle over the tenets of the faith. Consider the position of the Christians on science and reason through history. Consider the use of fear by Christianity to win converts. Consider the cruelty of apostles and the champions of the faith to other human beings through history. Consider all the illogical theories about the faith. It is possible that we do not all come to the same conclusion, but all these are still worth considering. At least, we would be better informed about the faith some of us profess.

That among the most morally culpable among us are the fervent professors of the Judeo-Christian faith is not surprising. That the Christian churches, regardless of their denomination, are the new theaters of absurd is not surprising. That their followers are diminishing on a daily basis is only expected. It is not surprising that "homosexuals, sexual deviants and pedophiles" now wield "unbelievable influence on the clergy and the laity." This writer refuses to accept that these people are doing it to bring the Church into disrepute. The Church could have resisted them and "ex-communicated them" if the Church had any conviction about what it stands for. That would have been within the rights of the Church leaders, while it would also have been within the rights of the "homosexuals, sexual deviants and pedophiles" to go and found their own Church(es) too. But because the Church is not about any serious faith or sound spiritual foundation other than about "business," it had to tag along.

In an article like this, it is very difficult to do justice to the subject of the nemesis now catching up with Christianity and lay it all out. Nemesis would catch up with all other fake religions too which seek to subjugate and enslave the soul and mind of man, for the purpose of economic and political exploitation. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. But readers are encouraged to go out and read and research to be able to arrive at their own independent conclusions. Lies have been with us from time immemorial. But nature has always abhorred it. Lies would never last for ever no matter how smart its protagonists think they are.
