Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

All the myths are mixed and recycled from Sumer, to Egypt, to Canaan, India, China, Persia, etc, and were never meant to be taken at face value is the point. But you'd have to delve deep into Kabbalah, ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, Sufism, Tantra, Babylonian Talmudic, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Gnostic mysticism to get scratch the surface. I've been looking into it for decades, especially the last three or four years, because I had time and regular internet. Especially look to understand PaRDeS, the multi-layered garden, from which we get the word, "Paradise," and multiple other esoteric myths, like the 72 names, Abra Melin, the Ethiopian Bible, etc etc etc. It's quite enthralling, and while I don't take my faith literally, anymore, I do take it more seriously. "Milk and meat," and "When I was a child, I thought, reasoned, understood as a child, when I became a woman, I put away childish things." It's entirely worth the time and effort, should you decide to embark on the journey. Peace/Salaam/Shalom, either way.
I have gone through rabbit hole of inconsistencies, but I don't obsess over whether they are copies of other myths/legends. I study the more modern corruptions/inventions. I understand Jesus's words as worth following, independent of any of his miracles/origin/heaven. I object to a church dogma based on 1. every word in the bible has to be true, or anarchy. 2. if there are contradictions the first chronological event must be more true. The convenience of this dogma of Moses Hierarchy and war as primacy is that it strengthens any Church hierarchy, and then through Constantine (first emperor to convert to Christianity and make it state religion) make the Romans the chosen people authorized to genocide and abuse any heretic who might consider Christ as not agreeing with Pope/Emperor.
In this we are in agreement.
Blessings, friend.
