I just watched a documentary about the Christ phenomenon with commentary fromthe heads of Divinity Colleges at very prestigious universities in the US and Canada.The consensus was that Paul of Tarsus gave the Jews the new messianic sectarianfaith, working on their timeless wait for the arrival of the Messiah who would liberatethem from the yoke of sin, and Rome's harsh colonial hegemony. Propagation wasenabled by the emergence of a two languages used by the three races that hemmedthe Mediterranean: Semitic, Keltic and Afro-Asian. His missals, or letters, targeted the Jewish diaspora of the Aegean littoral, with as many as 40,000 in Greek Antiochalone. They were the seed and leavening of the new Word that produced the Gentilethat emerged from the midst of the old Gallilia tribes. The baptismal act that replacedcircumcision sealed their difference from the mother faith. The new group adoptedthe god of Abraham who was known by a hundred odd names of which Adoni and Jehovahwere commonplace. I learned that the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 ADby Rome was total and marked by genocidal killings. Roland's buddy Xavier met his awakening when recuperating from the battle betweenKeltic Madrid and his Berber-Tamil Basque nation. Goa inherited him after Cochin did not submit to Da Gama. Remember, Goa did not produce any of the spices or fabricsthat brought the carreira to the Indies in the first place. Now we did benefit when western Coptic mores replaced the eastern of our earlyancestors, but I see the point to Roland's fears that the future is not one of goodtidings.
