Fun Facts About Christianity
“The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
Vatican
From the Latin vaticanus, meaning place of the sorcerers
Amen
As Christians finish their prayers, which they send through the “son of God”, they say “amen”, which I learned in church meant “so be it”. A little study shows something slightly different. The word derives from an ancient Egyptian god, Amen-Ra or Amun-Ra. Amun was an old god, but as his cult grew larger, he became associated with Ra-Herakhty (Ra + Horus, the gods of the “sun”-worshipers) who sent their prayers through the “sun of god”, Amen-Ra.
Israel
What is Israel? Is this a real place? The country we refer to as Israel is very recent. Many people assume this is what is spoken of in the Bible, but it was not called Israel. It was part of a territory called “Canaan” which included modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. A brief look into the etymology of the word reveals something interesting.
Isis was part of the Egyptian trinity with her husband and brother Osiris and their son, Horus, literally the sun and son of god. (In the later merging of sun-cults, Horus was combined with Ra and was known as Ra-Herakhty).
Ra is an ancient Egyptian sun god, mostly associated with the midday sun, but of which all other gods were a form.
El means “god” or “God” in Hebrew and other Semitic languages (plural “elohim”), but was also the father god of the Canaanites.
As you can see from the pattern, when two sun-worshiping cults merged, they merged the names of their gods, as in Ra + Horus = Ra-Herakhty and Amun + Ra-Herakhty = Amun-Ra. Isn’t it interesting that Isis + Ra + El = Israel?
Israel was a term for the merging of the cults in the land of Canaan, and armed with this knowledge, you can decode some of the mysteries of the Torah and the Bible.
Christmas, Paganism, and the Winter Solstice
The winter solstice was known as “Yule” in old Europe, from the Norse “jul” meaning “wheel”. It is the Pagan celebration of Light and the rebirth of the sun, which goes around a “wheel” or “cycle” through the zodiac. The winter solstice is the longest night of the year and as it approached people were worried it would disappear and not return, so they celebrated the light in the hopes that the sun would return quickly. In Rev 22:16 Jesus says: “I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star”. What is the morning star? Why do Christians worship on SUNday? Reread the Bible, interchanging sun with son, and you’ll begin to get the idea of what Israel means and where Christianity came from.
The ancient Romans celebrated Saturnalia, a tribute to Saturn, beginning December 17th, during which evergreen trees were decorated with fruits and other ornaments.
On the winter solstice, the sun is at it’s southernmost position of the year, over the Tropic of Capricorn (so named because this occurs when the sun is in Capricorn; similarly with the Tropic of Cancer and the summer solstice, and the Equator at the two equinoxes). The ancients believed that the sun had actually died. The sun remained at this place of death, near the Southern Cross (“Crux”) for 3 days, then the sun (read “son”) rose again, one degree in the sky, signifying that the days would begin to get longer and the light of the world would again overcome darkness. The birth of the sun/son was celebrated, on December 25, after receiving this sign, and again at the Vernal Equinox (Spring, Easter) because it is at that point the night and day are equal and from that point forward the sun will overpower the darkness and evil, or devil.
We find that the whole story of the birth of Jesus is encoded in the stars. On December 25, we are in the sign of Capricorn. At sunrise on that day, the Earth has rotated 180 degrees, and the sun rises in Cancer. There is a constellation in Cancer known as the manger. To the east, at sunrise, is Virgo, the virgin mother, overlooking the sun’s birth in the manger. To the west is Taurus. Inside Taurus is Orion. The three stars in the belt of Orion are known as the “three kings”. At the time of the sun’s birth, if you draw an imaginary line through the three kings and the bright star, Sirius, it point’s to the horizon (from “Horus” the sun/son of god) at sunrise. This is the star leading the “three kings” to the “virgin” birth of the “bright and morning star” in the “manger”. Gold symbolized the sun. Frankincense and myrrh were fragrances burned at solar temples. These were gifts to the sun/son.
Jesus and Lucifer
Again, in Revelations 22:16 Jesus states: “I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star”. What is the definition of Lucifer? “Morning star”.

So what is your point? Good and evil exist simultaneously, God creates evil daily, it is an ongoing thing with God, but in order for God to break it to us gently (reveal his glory) who he is and what he wants from us, his creatures, he started with showing us gods.
The Sumerians who lived before Hammurabi thought there were two gods, one creative, one chaotic. They assumed this by the weather changing to rain to sun indicating to them the moods of the gods.
If the sun shone,the nice god was present, if the storms came, the mean god was present. man’s need is to worship, whether God or himself. But God promises judgement if anything but he is worshipped since he actually is God.
But eventually God spoke to a man called Abram, an idolater in Babylonia who worshipped Nanna the moon god, so he could show him that there is ONE God.
From there came Judaism,and from there Christianity.
There is too much to address in one comment.
Jesus is the bright and morning star, which means he is always FIRST.
Every star that rises in the sky rises earlier than it did the day before. When Jesus said he is the bright and morning star, he meant he is always FIRST. The early star, the one there first, and every star rises earlier than it did the day before and this is why Jesus called himself the bright and morning star.
Lucifer was brought DOWN to the sides of the pit, he doesn’t RISE in the morning before all the stars.
Licifer is the son of the morning, not the first star, (bright and morning) we see in the sky.
The original meaning of “early” is bright Ie: when leprosy was described in the OT.They had bright spots meaning the early signs were there proving leprosy.
You are so wrong.
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem between 4and 7BC Jupiter, Mars and Saturn were in conjunction and the astronomers proved this.
Herod died in about 4 BC so go figure, history records Herod and so does the Bible and they agree.
This is what the Magi saw.
There was a Jesus Christ, even non biblical sources say this. Josephus, Tacitus and Pliny are three aancient historians who mention him.
You could say Moses never lived, but no matter, we have the Torah. You could say Jesus never lived, but we still have the gospel.
As for the Romans, remember the Roman empire lasted about a thousand years and America today is the revived Roman empire.
Josephus’s text was proven fraudulent hundreds of years ago. Let it go. Tacitus never mentions Jesus, he only says the “Christ”, which is a title, not a name. Jesus’s name was Jesus of Nazareth (originally Yeshua) and was never mentioned by Tacitus.
You can say I’m “so wrong” but you have not proven one single thing I’ve said to be incorrect. You are so wrapped up in your religious fervor you cannot even step outside of it for a second to analyze the roots of the story.
Moses didn’t live. His story is the same as the Egyptian figure Mises. His story of being angry about the worshiping of the golden calf is the figurative representation of the sun moving through the Precession of the Equinoxes from Taurus (the bull, calf) to Aries (the ram). This is why Jews still blow the ram’s horn. Jesus was the signification of the movement of the sun into Pisces (the fish). This is why we see all the Jesus fishes on people’s cars, and why there were so many stories of Jesus and fishermen. Starting at Luke 22:7, we learn the story of the Last Supper, the preparation for the death of Jesus (the age of Pisces). Jesus instructs Peter and John to make preparations for the dinner, and when they ask where he replies, in Luke 22:10, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters”. What is the next constellation in the Precession of the Equinoxes? Aquarius, the water-bearer, symbolized as a man pouring water out of a pitcher. When Jesus said, “I will be with you until the end of the world”, “world” was mistranslated from “aeon”, which means “age”. What he mean is he would be with you until the end of the age of Pisces, at which time you must follow the water-bearer and enter into his house. This is the “New Order of the Ages” (Novus Ordo Seclorum) referred to on the “secret” side of the Great Seal of the United States, as depicted on the reverse of the $1 bill.
You can argue the difference between “bright”, “morning”, “early”, and whatever else, the point is that the etymology of the names and the words of the supposed people/gods/demons/angels themselves time and time again link them to heavenly bodies. It is encoded right in the Bible that all of these stories are about astronomy.
I don’t agree with you. Josephus was not proven to be false. I read somewhere what you’re repeating.
Even if Moses didn’t exist we still have the Torah and if Jesus didn’t exist we still have the new commandment to love our neighbor as ourselves though hardly any do it.
Just because you say all this is true what you say doesn’t mean it is.
Sound like you are clearly into astrology.
Do you deny that evil is in the world?
Do you deny that good is in the world?
The entire plan of God for the world is to overcome evil which is here and very real.
The new world order is nothing more than evil taking over and it is sneaky and has been operating since the dawn of time.
Jesus himself became sin on the cross and died as that evil. It is pointed to when Moses told the people to look at the serpent and they would be healed. Do you recall that?
I don’t understand the Bible as many do. I see it as the only book that shows the way out of our predicament.
I know what I say and I also understand what you’re saying though I don’t agree with it all. I’ve heard all you say.
About the great seal, the United States is the revived Roman Empire the prophet Daniel told about in his book. Even their buildings in Washinton look like the ancient buildings their ancestors built.
The clay in the feet of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is the ethnics of the world, the iron is the white race, which were the ancient Romans.
The Roman empire revived in 1776 and are out to destroy all that is undesirable, which destrucion will come through disease, wars, etc. They ruled for over a thousand years once and they’re back….and They do not know who they are.
They call it the EU, not recognizing the bloodline is Roman straight from Cain.
I’m not one to argue the word of God and the existence of our Heavenly Father…SO I WON’T! What i will say is that through wonders,signs and miracles God has shown himself strong and mighty in my life and many MANY MANY others. He is real, and in refference to the previous blog, (matter of factly) Yes I do know of persons who have been completely healed/cured of both aids and cancer. I know of years and years of debts being completely erased, just to name a few. I will not argue the existence and realness of My God, However I will ask you to believe with me if only for a brief moment seeing as though you always seem as if you are up for a challenge. Try God and see his works in full effect. We all have problems, trials and tribulations. No ones life is peachy keene. I have enough faith and belief in God to know that if you go to Him with the most intimate detail of your life, the one thing that is ever-present on your mind , and you take that situation to God in prayer, just you and Him, alone ,no one else around, being completely naked before him ,open and real, I’ll bet my last dollar he will turn that situation completely around. Just try it. There are many people who share your beliefs and even more who have recanted due to God miraculously working through there lives. He is real believe it or not you and others of your kind make my beliefs more prevalent. After reading through the last blog and seeing your so-called facts as a result of research, (unbeknownced to you i’m sure) I noticed that the vast majority of those facts were found in the bible, just worded differntly. I know He’s real. So hey, what will it hurt to take me up on my offer, in all seriousness,to try God. Take your situation to him, ask him to work on your behalf, ask him to grant you favor with both God AND MAN. Watch your situation take a turn for the better,I promise. If by chance you decide to, (and of course our omniscient God will de expecting you) and you find that the situation has changed, make sure you give all honer, glory and power to the almighty God. Through Him ALL things are possible, anything is subject to change, and NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE!! God bless all**
to wake the ***** up: just try it it won’t hurt
excuse the typos/grammatical errors- i.e: be,honor
Warrior4Christ, I have given “God” a chance. I was raised in a Lutheran church. I woke up when I was 14. I constantly reconsider my world-view and my philosophy. I needn’t a challenge to do it, I do it daily. And daily I come to the only conclusion that makes sense, and that is that your Jehovah god, the Yahweh god, the Allah god, the Roman gods, the Egyptian gods, etc are all fake are are all derived from the 7 main cults.
If you want to argue the point, rather than try to convert me (which, I assure you, will never work until you can prove the existence of your God to me – and “religious ecstasy” or “mind over matter” where you feel God and get miracles will not fly with me) then refute my arguments. Attempt to refute them, I should say. Then I will present more arguments.
For starters, for a very simplified refutation of Christianity, read Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason, free of charge, online.
You cannot tell me on one hand that you will not argue the existence of the Christian God with me, and on the other hand that I should try out your religion. As I stated above, I have tried out your religion, and, as Marilyn Manson says, “your cruciFiction commercials failed”. I understand your unwillingness to embrace a different viewpoint. It’s a function of our brain termed “cognitive dissonance”. You cannot believe what you do and listen to someone tell you it’s incorrect without a discomfort in your self, so you must vehemently disavow what the other is saying in order to correct that dissonance. Politicians use this technique on you all the time.
This all said, I believe wholeheartedly that the Bible contains very important information. You must understand, however, how to unlock that information. Reading the Bible literally is a grave mistake with enormous consequences. Words have been mistranslated, misinterpreted, and misconstrued. This is most certainly not a literal story, most certainly not a factual account of history, but instead a series of parables to teach you life lessons. Equally, the Qu’ran and other so-called “sacred texts” have hidden, deeper meanings, and the cults that follow them cannot see past the veil, for they’ve been told this is the “word of God” and therefore they believe everything they read at face value, lest they betray their Lord Almighty.
However, I must say that all of this knowledge and wisdom predates Christianity. The 10 commandments were lifted from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. All the Christian holidays are Pagan or other cult rituals. Early Christianity adopted these holidays and rituals from other cults so as to make itself more palatable to the people of the time, and has retained these rituals to this day, forgetting or withholding from their flocks the origin of the celebrations.
I do not believe Christianity to be an inherently negative thing, though it has been used for nefarious purposes. The same can be said of the Satanic and Pagan cults the elite of the world belong to. These weird practices are not inherently bad, it is what they are used as justification or motivation for which can be evil.
I completely and totally agree with you, whoever created this website, for I too have explored the Christian faith and found it to be utterly false and its followers to be completely incompetent. Such unwavering support for something is pointless, it didn’t take long for me to notice that things didn’t add up. there were dozens, even reputedly hundreds of books left out of the bible, including some of which that depicted the so-called man without sin jesus, stealing and committing murder at a young age. on the subject, most sins are either natural human emotions or behaviors. and to quote south park (who actually had a good point and put it into effective words), “would you believe in something just because someone told you it existed, like a flying spaghetti monster.” not the most sophisticated statement but it gets the point across. my final point like the statement above tells is that there is absolutely no proof god exists or that jesus was much more than a poor carpenter from Nazareth who was persuaded by a preacher that a single god existed and that he was the son of said god. Show me some proof and i may once again become a Christian.
You’re wasting your time arguing with Christians, or Jews and Muslims for that matter. Two hands thinking will achieve more than a thousand hands clasped. Keep pressing on for the truth. Your site is good, but very micro in thought – think macro and you’ll see whats happening worldwide much more clearer. Take care my friend.
You’re correct, Michael, my site tends to lean toward the micro. Most people who stumble upon my site will not be able to understand the big picture. Those who can understand it are already armed with enough information that my page is semi-useless. While I see a much broader spectrum than I write about, this site is intended to inform those who have never gotten their feet wet with real research, hence the title, WakeTheFuckUp.
I believe that you can never convince the masses by telling them your conclusions. I have extensive sales training, and from my experience I have learned that the only way something new, a new product or idea (which you’re trying to “sell”), will feel right to a person is if he/she comes to the conclusion on their own (or at least feels like they have). This is why I simply cover news topics and maybe insert a few lines of editorial prose here and there, and allow the readers to lead themselves to the only possible, logical conclusion – that something fishy is going on and they need to investigate it further.
If I can accomplish that, I feel like I have done my duty.
Thanks for reading and commenting, I’m glad you enjoy the site.
so wat is da truth then… were do we go when we die… who is the ultimate creator… wat is our purpose on earth…. please hel me understand
christians are real and God loves you
i live a christian life
regardless how you feel every knee will confess that jesus christ is lord
he is coming soon
i would say to ask jesus into your heart and soul
stop blaming the lord blame the devil who wants you to be lies
Of course Christians are real, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been deceived. It’s nice that you live a Christian life – the Bible teaches some great morals and gives many good life lessons.
Every knee will not confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. If they did, everyone would be taken up in the rapture and there would be no need for Hell.
“He is coming soon.” What generation of Christians hasn’t believed this?
Mark 13:30 – Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Matthew 10:23 – When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Matthew 16:28 – Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.
Matthew 24:34 – Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Luke 21:32 – Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.
Jesus promised several times, according to the Gospels, that he would return before their generation died. That was 2000 years ago. He still has not returned. What makes you think he’s coming soon? “Assuredly I say to you” he is not.
Yes, I’m sure you would say to ask Jesus into my heart, but that’s because you’re Christian. I would say to stop believing in fairy tales and use the Bible as it was meant to be used – as a tool to learn moral values by being taken metaphorically, not literally. Jesus said several times he only spoke in parables. Listen to him.
I don’t “blame the Lord” for anything. If I don’t believe he exists, how could I blame him? You seem to assume the only reason one would not believe is due to anger toward God. That is illogical. You can’t disbelieve something because you’re angry at it. You disbelieve because you don’t believe it even exists.
The Devil may want me “to be lies”, but we all want you “to be grammar”.
get rid of the word fuck you inbsle
you shout the fuck up
Haha I love when people are angry and stupid. “Inbsle”? Is this Hebrew? Lack of vowels there, buddy. And why do you ask me to get rid of the work fuck and then tell me to shout it? Weird.
I do find it funny that you have no argument against any of my points, you just want me to remove fuck from my website. Your lack of ability to spell “imbecile” leads me to believe you are a blind sheep and don’t have the motivation to actually research your religion for yourself. That’s sad. Even your god tells you to value knowledge and seek it.
just in advance,sorry for some misspeling. Nice work,real nice. I also made very unconfortable questions on Sundayschool when i was about 12..now i`m 40.
I “feel” there is spiritual nature in Mankind, but also great dilemas…Power, is the the great issue.
I`ve always been fascinated by the meaning of words,the origin, the “why`s” of things. I am now beguining to make my own reserch(if i can call it that),by comparing views,wathing docs and trying to comfirm sources…and that..well, that`s very hard work.
Undoubtly there is a lot going on, on this world, and the every day life is not “inviting” for,shall i say,deep Questions, when some one questions the Bible or..the stock exchange market! people(the great majority) tend to get a bit unconfortable, and wishing you don`t mess with it, i`m not shure of the MACRO aproache, i think you are right about the “seling`s” micro aproach.
Anyway, people get confortable with either material or spiritual issues very rapidly, and to question some things,”invites to caos”
i`m afraid that`s what we are heading for, but some will say “come on!,you are so pessimistc!”…i have a methafore(interesting,i hope) for the “optimistic” view of the individual,in the largely crowded society,or societyS we live on:
It`s like you are a part of a corn field, look around and every thing looks the same,it works! from your perspective thats reality, if try to think otherwise,things get complicated…and in fact they are geting very nasty,for the greater part of the worlds population. So,if you don`t ask to many questions,maybe you`l have more freinds,friends who can hellp if you`r in need.
Well,i`m “flyingabout” ..the point is that we`v had Huge demonstracions of power in the last decade,some visible,some less visible,but in the end, they all target to control THOUGHT or opinion. The truth is most of the times,is very hard to understand and not a pleasent thing to face.
I hope this was understandeble, and not boring, i dont`t write very often,my english is by ear and by comparing subtitles in portuguese and some reading recently.
I apreciate your work, take care.
Look, no matter who’s right, people will believe what they want to believe. Some believe that God, Jesus Christ, etc. were real. Some don’t. It’s your own opinion and i don’t believe that people should be getting into heated discussions over it. Every person has their differences, so let them be. Are you going to be mad at someone who did not vot for Senator Barack Obama, but instead voted for McCain, and vice versa. Everone will believe what they want to belive and if you come to sites like this, you probably already have your mind made up as to which you believe. Accept differences and understand that the whole world does not think and believe like you do. That’s why there are MANY religions and beliefs.
Waver –
Would you rather:
a.) Believe that God is real. And find out its true. And live in no sorrow no pain, and eternal peaace.
or Believe that God is real and not find out its true. And just die. done.
OR
b.) NOT Believe in God, and find out its true and be sentenced to Eternal Damnation.
or not believe in God, and find out its not true. And just die.
Think about it.
And about the verses you listed, about how this generation would not pass away before these things occurred. When did it ever say, this generation of the body. Or something along that. You cant just make assumptions. You need to analyze things properly. What if it means, that we wont pass away to a eternal place until God’s return. I MEAN you should be able to open up your minds to possible conclusions. NOT just twist the verses of the bible to make your counter-points..
lol.
p.s Faith in God is a personal experience. I can’t do much to change your opinion. Only God can. But I can pray.
http://www.acts17-11.com/dialogs_morningstar.html
some Morning Star stuff.
If your going to state contradictions like that. You need to further research it. Not make baby conclusions.
I have been dead and I can tell you from personal experience, nothing happens.
Having said that, believing in god as insurance just in case he/she is real is not real faith or belief, thus you’d be lying to god anyway which won’t help you out much on judgment day. If there is a god, he should have made himself believable by rational people.
I only said the waver, to make you question the reality of God again. And keep on persisting for the truth.
So that you can find out that Jesus is the answer.

The word generation in Hebrew is not always the exact translation
it could mean ages or less likely dispensation.
There are three ages in the world. And the future world and the dispensation of Future all start at the Rapture. When Jesus WILL Come back. And so what he may be talking about is not “generation” as our english translation states. But infact maybe ages or dispensation.
These are for your “Bible” Quotes. about Jesus saying this generation will not pass before I return or w/e.
See, you gotta look harder.
Seek out the truth my friend.
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Richard Dawkins
and here is something else to think about
if god is love and love is blind, and stevie wonder is blind, does that make stevie wonder god?
Muslims use the word “’Āmīn” (Arabic: آمين) not only after reciting the first surah (Al Fatiha) of the Qur’an, but also when concluding a prayer or dua, with the same meaning as in Christianity. The Islamic use of the word is the same as the Jewish use of the word.
Israel:
Quran already have same word “Israel”.
The Universe is way to big for an Earth based Religion. How arrogant are we?
im christian and dont like it it sucks and is a big cult!!!!
well everything is basically a sin
these are so not fun facts!
WTFU, You mentioned that you were dead and nothing happened. It’s because your soul is dead. Tell me,why do take such a strong interest in denying the existence of Jesus Christ? It’s because Satan knows that Christ exists and he works through people like you.
“if god is love and love is blind, and stevie wonder is blind, does that make stevie wonder god?” is not logical sense.
If A then B is not the same as if B then A. That said, to understand God you need faith, and faith by its own definition can not be proven by logical sense. One of the biggest fallacies we have propagated in this world, is that the world would be better if everything we did was based on logic. Impossible really. Since we are limited by our understanding and knowledge, we take ‘on faith’ certain things. Very few of us understand the intricacies of how a cell phone, and by faith we assume it will call out before we start dialing. We prove our faith (or disapprove) when we start dialing. If it works, our faith was not in vain, if the cell phone does not work, our faith was in vain and we call the technical help desk of our wireless company. The christian faith will be ultimately proved after he dies and he meets his God. Or as atheists would have it, he doesn’t.
Jesus never existed. He’s a solar personification.
Thank goodness this info is spreading around the world.
Christians have been suckered all along…^_^
