on the invention of cosmas et damian by the author Jerome (100 years fudge)
Quote:
C&D appear to be a christian version of the Asclepian healing tradition. Why are stories of time travel so popular? Christian fraud via retrojection of history. Quote:
Twin brothers born in Arabia, went to study sciences in Syria. Once qualified they were to Aegae on the bay of Alexandretta in Cilicia. Here they practiced medicine without accepting fees and were widely known "as christians". Beheaded by Diocletian. Legends are enhanced ..... We have the good guys and we have the bad guys. The bad guys were pagans, the good guys were the christian ecclesiastica whom we "believe"? Diocletian the pagan. First mentioned by Theodoret a century after their HOLY FICTIVE DEATH. Where did Asclepius go? Best wishes Pete Brown |
