The Christ Conspiracy:
The Greatest Story Ever Sold

Reviewed by Adam Gorightly
Excluded Middle, #9

In The Christ Conspiracy, classical scholar Acharya S takes aim at perhaps the most touchy target of them all: the historical accuracy of Jesus Christ, and the resultant ripples that have manifested themselves through the legend of his alleged birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and subsequent commercialization. In her treatise, Acharya asserts that it's all just one big monumental hoax perpetrated down through the years by politically motivated Christians – and other agenda-driven charlatan of yore – as a method of mass human control. Her thesis, of course, is nothing new; what makes this book unique is the manner in which the argument is conclusively laid out, leaving the reader either complete convinced, or totally shaken in their previous convictions. Of course, those who to need to read this book the most will probably never have the courage to do so, continuing, as is their wont, to wallow in the mire of blind faith.

Acharya S pulls no punches, beating her adversary to a bloody pulp, and quite obviously deriving great pleasure from the pummeling she doles out. This war of words, it seems, is a battle the author takes most seriously in her righteous quest to undo 2000 years of mental slavery inflicted upon humankind by the same sort of manipulators that have given us such popular mythologies as the Gulf War, Barbie and the Marlboro Man. Acharya is relentless – and her research, nothing less than exhaustive – as point by point she blows the figurative fish out of the water, leaving it to flop pathetically about, faced with the overwhelming evidence she has uncovered; evidence that brings to light a vast conspiracy rooted in plundered mythologies and biblical forgeries which have formed the basis for the popular mass conception (misconception) of Jesus Christ.
