Known to be a masterpiece of freethought literature. The World's
Sixteen Crucified Saviors has been out of print but sought after
for many years. A small part of it was reprinted in The Book Your
Church Doesn't Want You to Read in 1994, thereby causing renewed
interest. Many people are unaware that before Christianity there
were 15 other religions that also had a savior who died for their
sins, then arose from the dead. Graves gives all the details
inside, plus much more found in common like the immaculate
conception of the gods, virgin born gods, magi, shepherds and
angles who visit the infant saviors, the birthday of the gods being
December 25th, plus an explanation as to how Jesus began to be
worshipped as a God. Some scholars are suggesting that Jesus had
spent time in India. One chapter in this book discusses 346
striking analogies between Christ and Chrishna, the Hindu god.
Could this same story have travelled from India rather than the man
himself? Could this everpresent story, "the greatest story ever
told, " be the common link between all early religions? Has the
purpose of religion, in general, been designed to provide all of
mankind with a common set of beliefs, to keep us from learning the
real truth for ourselves? It is difficult to answer these
questions, and it probably always will be, but this book offers us
a small step closer to the answers. It shows that Christianity is
not alone and special in its beliefs, and may cause us to explore
further into the origins of religion.

Khrisna of India. Thammuz of Syria. Esus of the Celtic Druids.
Mithra of Persia. Quexalcoati of Mexico. All were crucified gods,
and all met their fates hundreds of years before Jesus appeared on
the scene. In this foundational work of modern atheism, American
spiritualist KERSEY GRAVES (1813-1883) breaks the Christ myth down
into its component parts and ably demonstrates how the story of
Jesus has its roots in the depths of antiquity. Here you'll read
about the surprising prevalence throughout global folklore of: .
the miraculous and immaculate conception of the gods . stars that
point out the time and place of a savior's birth . angels,
shepherds, and magi visiting an infant savior . the 25th of
December as the universal birth date of gods . saviors who descend
into Hell . and much more. This is essential reading for students
of comparative mythology and modern freethinkers.
Who is Satan? Where does Satan come from? Does Satan have a twin
brother? Why is there a devil, a heaven, and a hell? If the devil
exists, why does God allow Satan to exist? This fascinating book
attempts to decipher these as well as many other questions. Our
fascination of the unknown as well as our fears have shaped us
throughout history. If you do not want to blindly accept the
"reality" that you are experiencing, this book will take you
through a quest for truths, myths, and possibilities to better help
you understand Satan and the world we live in.
