Christ word has roots in hindu God Krishna.
Krishna is derived from sanskrit root Krsta (it means attraction).
Perhaps, the greeks uses the word Kristo (annointed one) to denote such a incarnation of a soul on earth.

The birth of Krishna and Jesus were foretold. It was foretold that Krishna would save mankind. The savior. Same was with Jesus. It is written , 24 prophets predicted about him.

And most masters are indeed Krsta(attraction). They seduce you to follow their path. Who wouldn't want to share their fragrance with existence when they flower?

The people musing on the outerworld has twisted words and their meanings per their own convenience.

Krishna was considered second God - head in the trinity. And so was Jesus.
Jeez ask a siamese twin how they manage their lives on earth
And some nuts have the balls to preach God has 3 heads and all that crap.

Must be the same jerk who preaches "I am a Jealous God." Arrre, If God is jealous and humans being image of God exhibit the same quality then jealousy is a divine quality. So continue to be jealous folks

Krishnas birth was under mysterious conditions. Same was with Jesus. Lying in manger and all that.

An old woman started seeing again when she visited Krishna just few days after his birth. Same story of Jesus. Aren't we all blind inspite of having physical eyes? It was just a story. It means a great soul has incarnated to lead people out of their darkness.

Krishna's uncle, Kamsa sent his soldiers to kill him when he was a baby. He was taken to Gokul by his father. Herod too sent soldiers to kill Jesus and he was taken to egypt by his parents (Joseph/Mary).

This and so many other similarities.

What do you think, Subhuti," Buddha asked, "does a one who has entered the stream which flows to enlightenment, say 'I have entered the stream'?"
"No, Buddha", Subhuti replied. "For he has won no dharma and therefore he is called one who has entered the stream. No objects of sight or hearing have been won, no smells or tastes, no objects of touch nor even objects of mind. Thus he is called one who has entered the stream. If the thought 'the fruit of entering the stream has been attained by me' occurred to such a one, then he would be seizing upon a self, or personality, a soul or a concept of being."

Buddha asked: "Subhuti, do you think that one who has to return but once again, even entertains the thought 'the fruit of a once-returner is mine'?"
"No Buddha," Subhuti replied. "For nothing ultimately real has won the status of a once-returner: that is why he is called once-returner."

"Do you think", Buddha asked, "that the one who will not return at all, ever thinks 'the fruit of the never-returner is mine'?"
"No, Buddha," Subhuti answered. "For nothing which can be considered ultimately real has won the status of never-returner'."

"Then," Buddha asked, "does the fully enlightened one, ever think, 'full enlightenment is mine'?"
"Indeed not," Subhuti answered, "for nothing ultimately real is called fully enlightened, and that is why one who is fully enlightened is called fully enlightened. If one who is fully enlightened ever thought 'the fruit of being fully enlightened is mine', he would grasp a self, a personality, a soul or a concept of being."

I have nothing against the the kind priests who are priest as a profession, to earn bread. If you really probe them , they will tell you that they don't know the truth. Have to mention that I have met such good priests in Northern india.

===========
In buddhism I heard "Emptiness is form and form is emptiness"

There will always be people who cannot go to formlessness without form to begin with.
Story of Ramakrishna and idol of Kali is a great example.

So even though I am against Idol worship and all that, I have to admit I am not an opponent of churches and temples.

We have to create more temples actually for the future generations with more better sculptures and paintings. With great messages for future generations on how this generation perceived reality. Right now we have churches with all that stupid paintings of angels with wings and all that crap. So unrealistic really. And the future will call us stupid if we don't change that crap.

People begging in temple for God to shower for his grace is so pathological.
Perhaps there must also be singing and dancing once a while.

There must even be a place for body-mind healing. That is the only evolution for churches. Otherwise once society becomes too learned it will destroy God. Not the false God most have come to experience, but the existential truth that one must really experience in his/her being. The greatest joy possible. I remember as a child I would just sit in an temple with solitude , away from the crowd and gaze at the idols. That is before I would not stare at the open skies and wonder LOL. An idol should never be dead to idol worshippers. It must be alive and animated. When that happens that is true idol worship. Islam people are bad in slaying idol worshippers. This great religiousness quality was taken to extreme in their scriptures. May be by bad priests.

Yeah, but you mentioned that you have some key information not shared with anyone in a forthcoming book of yours. Therefore I am missing the connecting string.

Was alluding to the cruci (Fiction)

Ascension??? Did I miss that one?

Not sure if you edited your post. I do sometimes when I write something which was not intented that way LOL.

I reread what you wrote. Great point.
I would add winners seem to set a course for history on how future must perceive.
Example: If Hitler won the war, humanity would have read a different version of history.

*added later*
The winnder i.e priests and kings/ministers made sure they control the masses. Tithes must be more lucrative than taxes

Wow, you made my night
