Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

Thou art That
I'm not using 'myth' in the sense of a factual story, but of stories which have added thematic material. The myth that is common to all three deities is that of their being solar deities who are representative links between man and the supernatural world.
I see Yeshu as a real man whose teachings were overwritten with mythical thematic material by St. Paul and Rome, creating the mythical personage of 'Jesus'. I see Mithras as a mythical character who originally was the Sun itself, and to which an anthropomorphic image was attached, and which then evolved.

Yeshu, otherwise known as Issa, Yuz Ausaf, etc, went to India. Paul and Rome overwrote his teachings with thematic material that later became the myth known as 'Jesus'. That's the problem. The modern 'Jesus' is a mixture of both historicity and myth.

Do you get some kind of thrill from calling Jesus by any other name?
The other stupidities aside, why on earth do you think that calling Jesus 'Issa' or whatever somehow sterilizes the person from mythic influence? Like, for example, pretending that he went to India?

Jesus, known as a Melted Box of Crayons, went to India. Then, Box of Melted Crayons tamed elephants in China and fought pink fairies in Neverland. After that -- er, actually before the Gospels were written, Paul somehow exaggerated Crayon's teachings before they were even popularized. Jerk.

Every time godnotgod falls for something silly, God kills a puppy.
Please, think of the puppies. For the love of Pete.

Because that pretense is closer to probability than the preposterous pretense that he lived quietly and anonymously in a non-existent Las Vegas village for 18 years as God in the flesh next door to Elvis, when everyone KNEW he was God in the flesh, since the angel at his birth instructed the abiding shepherds to go spread the word that Messiah had been born, and since everyone in Las Vegas KNEW he was a special teacher, so special that they wanted to toss him from a non-existent cliff upon which non-existent Las Vegas is supposed to sit, and since no one wrote about this special person, or talked about him, because he lived in a vacuum tube with Elvis, because they both traveled to Las Vegas in Nevada to perform their extravaganza stage shows with that infamous entertainer 'Evange-something-or-other'. THAT pretense.
It's not sterilization. It's just that you enjoy sensation and spectacle, equating them with Reality, which is like drug addiction, of which you need a bigger and bigger fix each time in order to get the same high.
No. Yeshu was just a human being who was realized, that's all. Nothing Special. But they crucified him anyway.

Oh, cut it out! Everyone KNOWS Jesus went to Las Vegas disguised as Elvis to do those knockout extravaganzas, along with that what's-his-face entertainer, Evanga-loser Angio-plaster. Oh, the secret lives of those quiet types! No one knows of the Elvis that lurks within.

Did you know that the original Aramaic name is, phonetically, Rusty Hairy Monkey Nuts? Yes, crucified on a tadpole in southern Oregon Territory in 1492. Stuffed in the cockpit of a C-32 on the sea floor, annotated in the unholy journals of Derabet in Shreveport. Boiling those nuts on the inside of a Pringles can. Resurrected on any day but the third, because whatever the church says is automatically wrong.
The historical Rusty Hairy Monkey Nuts soaked his thong in bleach for 87 hours after which time - upon return from deep beneath the surface of Mars - he base jumped off of a four story building and hit the ground before the chute deployed. He was OK but Bob Barker, who was riding shotgun.

You're funnier when you're propagating stuff that you actually affirm.
You don't show near as much creativity as your sources.

Not only is that profoundly insightful -- it's fantastic prose.
Well done.
It's biased academic claptrap. It doesn't include the vital component of the Jesus mythos: that he "killed him a bear when he was only three."

You bet.
It takes academic training of the highest order to lie to people succeptible to garbage just because they get their rocks off by pretending to go against the flow.
Anyway, I actually call Jesus "Rubber Baby Bumper Buddy." It's pretty funny watching non-English speakers trying to say it.

The earliest Christians hung ladybugs by their toes from acid wells loaded with York Peppermint Patties. Because of this, Paul was a genderless shapeshifting trashcan that cared only for his first edition Roman coins.
So everything that any Christian ever thought about Jesus's edible undies is historically incorrect and more than a little creepy. If it weren't for a few heroic silly-nannies who make stuff up about all of this, we'd never know that Jesus's edible undies was strawberry instead of sour apple.
Now only the person who cannot access any of the early texts can speak authoritatively about the early Christian communities. So they tied a rope around the moon and at sugar cheese puffs.
