Username checks out, I take it you have been aware of this interpretation of the new testament for awhile! I personally believe whole heartedly in God as that which is of everything and the creator of everything, something that I cannot understand but which must be as we are here existing so something had to lead to that. That said, most religious types would be quick to label me an athiest or at least not know what to label me other than "not a christian" because I have always been skeptical of the bible and church in general because anything man touches gets corrupted and I see through the long reach of historical chicanery. Around here you get told quick you are not a christian if you question the bible, that is for sure. Well I got big questions and things like this and Mauro Biglino's translation of the old testament seem to confirm my suspicions at the end of the day. Thank you for posting this and I hope you dont get too much flak for opening our minds and exposing a very plausible history!
I was a deist for quite a while, before even knowing there was a word for it.
Though I eventually called myself an atheist, I was still puzzled by the existence of the Bible. I think I found my answer in large part. I don't even want to go into the shamanism in the Bible.
Wow, perhaps! You would think Deism would be brought up in our culture wars as an alternative to organized religion yet all we hear about is atheism or occasionally hear the word "agnostic". Seems like there may have been some efforts to stifle exposure to this way of thinking since the time of the American Revolution.
I would like to know what answer you arrived at regarding the existence of the Bible and especially the shamanism in the Bible, but I understand if you don't and I am sure you have given me enough food for thought and new ideas to explore. You seem like the type that I would like to have a beer with and get into deep existential discussions!
Not sure if it would fall in line with shamanism but "eating" the body of Jesus and "drinking" his blood has disturbed me ever since I can remember. Recently I found out that it becoming a thing likely would be the inverse of existing Baal / Molech worshiping rituals of the day so essentially this was added so the normies of the day did not have to change too much to make the switch. Still messed up, and it goes to show the extent that groupthink rules our society even to this day as Catholics line up for pseudo Cannibalism.
Deism is the belief in a "divine watchmaker". All of this couldn't have came out of nothing, right? There must have been a god who created it, right? Later on I looked into Richard Dawkins and what he had to say about evolution; like evolution of an eyeball and why this nerve/vessel (can't remember) takes this weird path down its neck and only to come back to the head of a giraffe. Things didn't look so "divine" after that. So now I had a real problem. If a god really doesn't exist then how is it that the Bible exists? So many people believe in the Bible. They couldn't have just made this crap up. Right? Down the rabbit hole I went.
I don't think it has to do with cannibalism; at least the New Testament. In the Old Testament, perhaps; even likely with Moloch.
As far as shamanism, it has a lot to do with mushrooms; principally, at least as far as the New Testament. With all of this talk of adrenochrome and what not I'm still learning.
The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross: A Study of the Nature and Origins of Christianity Within the Fertility Cults of the Ancient Near East is a 1970 book about the linguistics of early Christianity and fertility cults in the Ancient Near East. It was written by John Marco Allegro (1923–1988).
Allegro was one of those tasked with translating the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Here is a video that will really take you down the rabbit hole. I have the book and DVD.
The intro is done by John Marco Allegro. It is from a former recording. Years ago I did find that video on YouTube.
I was taken aback the other day when I watched a clip from The Pat McAfee Show. (YouTube suggestion.) Found some video of it. To his left the book on top and towards us is none other than The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross. He even talks to his guys about how good the book is. Seems to me he is not just a "sports bro".
As far as groupthink, years ago a colleague chatted me up (via a chat program) saying that he was taken aback because this guy was setting out his prayer mat and praying in his office. It didn't phase me as religious people have all sorts of weird rituals. After thinking for a bit, I asked him if he was Catholic. He said he was. I then asked, so you believe in literally drinking the blood and eating the flesh of Christ to which he replied with "good point".

Perhaps you are a Deist?

Old vs New testaments altered in Ra's name. Shame winners wrote history. Inbetween the lines.
(Nods head.) I'm trying to not start a religious debate. Christmas is coming and I'm excited. WWG1WGA NCSWIC
Absolutely. I'm not here to spread division. I respect freedom. Regardless what your religion or lack of. Unity of humanity is essential. NCSWIC.

I only learned the word "deism" when I went to college. (starting in the very late 80s)
Thomas Paine was a deist. Deism eventually fell out of favor so I suppose that is why many don't know it today.
Here's a video that you can watch the first part of. (make sure to unmute)
