>>9178700Christianity as it stands today is a confused mess of various ancient beliefs and religions, magical thinking, outright lies, and political conveniences.
God is real, but you're going to have to look through the medieval cult bullshit to find him.
Jesus was a political revolutionary who used hallucinogenic ergot fungus to show people the true nature of this reality, the 'miracles' are allegorical.
The fungus smells like fish, hence the ichthys symbol, and it infects rye grain, hence the breaking of bread and passing of communion wafer, which was originally red; not because it represents Christ's flesh (allegory) but because ergot colours it red!
The crucial ingredient in the wafer that lets you experience God is missing; the ceremony is pointless.
Christ was divine, and the son of God, but so are you and I.
The manna in the desert was also ergot:
>At evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread [manna]: and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God. [Exodus 16:12]>All the people are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet. [Exodus 20:18]It fits the profile of ergot EXACTLY. The first stage of ergot infection produces a honeydew with a honey taste (just like manna). It dries on the plant to form whitish resinous pellets about the size of coriander seeds (just like manna), and where it drips it forms a white frosty scale (just like manna):
>It was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey. [Exodus 16:31]>When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. [Exodus 16]You might be saying "but ergot is toxic!", but it can easily converted into a safe preparation if the secretion is ground up and then boiled. Luckily, the Israelites did just that:
>So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning. [Exodus 16:23-24]
