The Gospel According to Acharya S
Holy Days
What are holidays? Year after year, hordes of people of all sects and cults march mindlessly to their temples, churches,
synagogues and mosques to celebrate "holidays," the origins of which these same people have not even a clue. How many "Christians" are aware, for
example, that "Christmas" - which they believe is the birthday of a messiah sent by a father-god figure - is actually the day when the sun begins
its journey north again after passing through the winter solstice? Do all these Christians who take off Christmas to celebrate the little babe in
the manger realize they are marking a pagan holiday commemorating the movements of the sun? Few people realize that Hanukkah, which is taken to
be a very important time in the eyes of the Jewish deity, Yahweh, was actually created to "combat" the religious holidays of the Christians, who
in turn stole theirs from the pagans.
Look to the Stars: "Religion" is Based on Astrotheology
In fact, all these religious holidays, unless they have a basis in commemorating the movements of the planetary bodies, are
simply competitions between the various so-called religions. They are not days of great importance to a white male god person sitting in his castle in the clouds. All real "religious holidays," if you will, are based on the movements of the
planetary bodies, and not on anyone's birth, death, racial history, winning of battles, exoduses out of bondage, etc. These are all egotistical
and ethnocentric moves made by competitors in the fields of politics and religion. There is no god person sitting "up there" watching and nodding
"his" head in approval at the commemoration of "his" supposed holy days.
In other words, these holidays are fraudulent. If they were truthfully recognizing the movements of the planetary bodies, such
as the "pagans" do still today, they would not be fraudulent, because such were the original "holy days." However, as they are currently
presented, they are completely and utterly bogus. There are many people who can see the egotism and bigotry involved in these "holidays;"
however, even they go along with it, perhaps thinking that if there is an anthropomorphic deity somewhere "out there" they may be able to win
points in "his" Book of Life and Death. Let us develop or re-develop truly universal holidays that are not based on how many other cultures we
have trounced (such as "Columbus Day") or the day "our Lord" was viciously murdered or some other such thing. Let us
abandon such ugly concepts and create beautiful celebrations of humankind, of the rest of the natural world and of the awesome vastness of the
cosmos.
