Fake news

Washington Post

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that Russian hackers had penetrated the U.S. electric grid. Authorities say there is no indication of that so far. The computer at Burlington Electric that was hacked was not attached to the grid.


The computer is a laptop.

We are going to have to accept if someone carries a laptop or cellphone that have been hacked at home by surfing porn sites and subsequently enters the premises of a bank or Con Edison, expect next day headlines to shout:

"Russia hacks Bank/Electrical Grid"

Was Jesus account in the bible fake news?

Alot of us already know many of the bible stories were lifted from other cultures but never did I see anything so clear regarding Jesus:

Horus was one of the many Egyptian Gods (3100 B.C.)
He had 12 disciples.
One was born of a virgin in a cave.
Like Jesus, his birth was announced via a star.
And three wise men showed up!
He was baptized when he was 30 by Anup the Baptizer.
He rose a guy from the dead and walked on water.
Lastly, he was crucified, buried like Jesus in a tomb, and resurrected.

Buddha, (563 B.C.)
Healed the sick
Walked on water.
Fed 500 men from one basket of cakes.
Taught a lot of the same things Jesus taught, including equality for all.
He spent three days in jail.
Was resurrected when he died.

Mithra, an ancient Zoroastrian deity with similarities to Jesus (2000 B.C.)
Virginal birth on December 25th.
Swaddled and laid in a manger.
Tended by shepherds in the manger.
He had 12 companions (or disciples).
Performed miracles.
Gave his own life to save the world.
Dead for three days, then resurrected.
Called “the Way, the Truth and the Light.”
Has his own version of a Eucharistic-style “Lord’s supper.”

Krishna, (around 3000 B.C.)
A Hindu God.
Born after his mom was impregnated by a God.
Angels, wise men, and shepherds were at his birth.
Guess what gifts they gave him? Gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
A jealous bad guy ordered the slaughter of all newborns, just as happened with Jesus.
Baptized in a river.
Performed miracles, including raising the dead and healing the deaf and blind.
Rose from the dead to ascend to heaven.
Is expected to return to earth someday to fight the “Prince of Evil.”

Osiris (around 2500 B.C.)
Killed and the resurrected after three days in hell. WTF? A common theme here!
Performed miracles
Had 12 disciples.
Taught rebirth through water baptism.

Satan who was once an angelic being knew of Jesus plan for redemption for mankind.
He started counterfeit saviors to confuse mankind and lead them astray from Jesus.
Satan is the master of deception.

There are many such examples of deception such as serpent (dragon) worship or Noah's ark.

Ephesians 6:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

According to the Gnostics, another sect of christianity(than which you follow), god himself is the root of all evil; because how can asuch an imperfect and problematic world, with god fighting against his own creations, come from a perfect god.

The god that rules this world, that is. The real god according to them is more chill and is really indifferent, existing outside duality.

By the way they get this viewpoint from including other excluded books, such as the gospel of philip.

The also believe that Jesus was not special, that every human can become like him and that is the key to entering the kingdom...

It seems that Satan knew of Gods plans to send Jesus before god himself, because all the examples I listed came before Jesus.

Sad how we black fools have been made to worship a god to control us while we lost our birthright,lack meaningful representation in the ladder of society and continue to empower others by simply our needs for existence,look at any black US neighborhood,who owns the businesses?..

We have truly been mind-fcuked into actually worshiping the creators of this god and accepting all the mediocrity that goes with it,we just need a black pope now and the wool would've made full coverage of our eyes,I sincerely hope for black people's sake we never get a black pope, that would just set us back even further as a people.

Sad that we were convinced that Haiti is cursed by said god and we believe that crap..the only black nation to stand up and say no we are not buying it...

I am happy for those who feel blessed and very sad at the same time,when someone cuts you the subsequent necessary stitches are not blessings...

Wake up now.

Well why the big fuss about fake News lately, most of Western Civilization History stories are fake, for example, Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean and Americas is one of the biggest fairy tales.

True, we must always remember history is written by the conquerors; their version.

But we are talking about the daily news, which we depend on to live day to day

In Trump, a master of deception, we seem to have a Satan-like figure, in words, if not in deed.

So, before he commits his dastardly acts on the body politic, it would be good if all those bible believing evangelicals, who voted for Trump,, follow the words of the bible, they so like to conveniently throw around and disavow his words and actions.
