"Get yours hot off the presses! The book your p-stor or
p-iest doesn't want you to read!"
"You can get this special online version of my 39-page
ebook Who Was Jesus? right now!"
"Who Was Jesus image"
From: Acharya S aka D.M. Murdock
For years, people have asked me to provide a short and
easy-to-read summary of the "life of Je--s" to share with
family and friends.
I am delighted to announce that I have now written a
39-page ebook designed to do just that, and you can get
the "pre-launch" electronic version of this new book, Who
Was J--us? right now!
Who Was Jesus? is specifically designed for C-ristians
and uses mainly Ch-istian texts and authorities. It starts
out recounting the story of C-rist found mostly in M-tthew,
followed by a short discussion of each of the other
gospels, where they meet and diverge from each other. Next,
I discuss the concept of "textual harmonization" as well as
the gospel dates, revealing that the gospels are a mass of
variant readings" and that their author****p and dates are
uncertain. I also delve into some Old Testament
"prefiguring" and "prophecies," providing all-new, original
side-by-side charts. Finally come many reasons why people
do not believe the story of --sus Ch-ist, and then a
conclusion reminding the readers how much of our future
rests upon this issue and how it should not be taken
lightly.
This new ebook Who was Jes--? is available for immediate
download in an easy-to-read and printable PDF file! You
can have it right now.
"Who was Je--us? perfect for the believer and
non-believer alike!
In fact, this book will help these two groups understand
each other better!"
"Thank you, "Fundamentalist Ch-istians...contend that the
B-ble is the absolute and infallible word of G-d. But any
careful reader recognizes that the Bibl- is full of
contradictions, not the least being glaring differences in
the stories told of Je--s' life, d-ath and resurrection.
The four bib-ical gospels (Ma-thew, M-rk, L-ke and J-hn)
don't re****t the same story.
Further, on significant points, such as J--us' genealogy,
they contradict each other. Bibl-cal scholar****p also shows
that in early Chri-tian writings there were numerous other
gospels, those that did not make it into the Bi-le,
relating stories about Je--s that also contradict the four
biblical gospels. And isn't it interesting that all of
those gospels were written decades after the time that
Jes-- pur****tedly lived. They are not contem****ary
eyewitness accounts. Even more remarkable is that none of
the many historians living and writing at the time in the
relevant locale re****ted anything about the man Je--s or
the m-raculous events related in the gospels. Any
reasonable person, faced with these facts would have to
question whether any of it was true, to question even
whether there was a historical Je--s at all.
"Given the choice, would you rather know what actually
happened or to remain deluded, no matter how pleasant the
delusion? For those who prefer to learn the actual facts
that constitute im****tant events in history, Who Was
J--us? is an eye-opener. It is a gateway to better
understanding of the foundation of Ch-istianity.... If
there is any reason to believe that the very foundations of
the Chr-st story are not what you thought, wouldn't you
want to know about it?
Who Was J--sus? is a succinct and penetrating examination
of the gospels and their internal contradictions as well as
a critical look at how the J--us story was put together by
fallible humans. It does not claim to be the whole story.
But it is a great beginning to your search for truth about
the Je--s myth and the hopelessly muddled foundations of
Chri-tianity.
"With liberty, justice, tolerance and respect for
all..."
David Bergland 1984 Libertarian Party Presidential
Candidate Libertarianism.
Following is an excerpt from Who Was Jesus?
"In the nearly two millennia since the story of Je--s
Chr-st began to be circulated, millions of people have
wondered, 'Who is Je--s Chri-t?' Much ink has been spilled,
and many thousands of books have been written about this
grandest of g-ds and men, in the quest to ****tray the 'real
--sus.' Practically every personality type and special
interest group has been able to find a reflection of itself
in Jes-- and countless people have looked to him as their
inspiration and champion. Many millions, in fact, are quite
convinced that Chr-st is indeed the -od of the universe who
came to Earth in a human body 2,000 years ago. Still others
have settled into a comfortable position that J--us was a
'nice guy' and a 'great leader' or a 'p-litical rebel' who
fought for the underdog. These individuals often believe
that Je-- was simply a human being, not Go-, but that his
enthusiastic followers added a series of fairytales to his
biography after his d-ath. A minority of others have looked
at the story with a jaundiced eye and found little evidence
to be convinced of either of these two perspectives."
In the testimonial box below are the many lovely comments
from those who have downloaded my new book who Was Jesus?

your hard work in bringing the truth to us." JC
"May you have success in your efforts for truth." ER
"I've finally gotten to the point where the fairy tales I
was fed as a youth are just that and there is no desire to
revisit them any more. Your writings have helped me get to
the point where I realized that I had bought into a
mentally deranged worldview and gave me the courage to
follow my long-suppressed inner wisdom to break free of the
Ch-istian stranglehold. & Who Was Jesus? appears to be a
tool that I can pass on to my family and friends instead of
letting them bombard me with prayers for my eternal soul.

There's Just Something About Alice Springs. Jan. 26, 2008
Here is some information from a person who has studied a lot
about Alice Springs, Austrailia.
...................................................................
...................................................................
Subject: Alice Springs, Australia
LIGHTS, BEINGS, BEAMS
AUSTRALIA
On a desert highway in Australia's flat, dry center sits a petrol
station by a watering hole where extraterrestrials have been
stopping off for millennia, or so "witnesses" say.
If truck drivers or passing tourists find themselves nodding
off on the long drive between Alice Springs and Darwin, a pit
stop at Australia's self-proclaimed UFO capital might just revive
them.
While filling up the tank or their stomachs at Wycliffe Well's
roadhouse, they might notice little green men holding out their
hands or staring out at them from nearby walls.
That may be no cause for concern because these are probably
just statues and paintings put there for the visitors' benefit.
But according to locals the real thing is so common around here
that people hardly even blink when they see it.
Lights in the sky, blue domed discs, silvery beings - all
common stuff in Wycliffe Well, say locals, who see a secret
connection with Australia's nearby s-y facility of Pine Gap.
Skeptics, on the other hand, say the large number of
sightings may rather reflect the high levels of alcohol
consumption, for which Australia's Northern Territory is
famous.
"When I came down here it was just a common occurrence.
It was just one of those things. Even the previous owner
just mentioned it to me in passing," said Lew Farkas, who
has run the Wycliffe Well roadhouse and caravan park for
23 years and claims around half a dozen sightings of his
own.
This tiny dot on the map, 400 kilometres north of Alice
Springs, surrounded by scrub land, now attracts international
visits from "experts," occasional UFO conventions and
constant local media coverage of the unusual sightings in
the vicinity.
"It is recognized throughout the world UFO industry," said
Farkas.
Suggestions that the sightings could be caused by such
normal phenomena as birds and aircraft landing lights are
promptly dismissed by the UFO watchers.
"You take that with a pinch of salt. It's a lot of
rubbish," said Farkas.
It's a quiet life for Farkas providing food and petrol
for the dozens of cars that drive past daily on the
monotonous route up the Stuart Highway punctuated only by
flat scrub, termite mounds and the occasional dead
kangaroo or wandering emu.
"There were lights doing manoeuvres in the sky"
But the night time visitations are more than enough to
liven things up, he says, describing the most memorable of
his own encounters.
There were lights doing manoeuvres in the sky, little
ones dancing around the big ones, doing figures of eight,
he said.
Farkas (59) was a physical training instructor in the
Australian navy before he took over the roadhouse and
says this sighting reminded him of manoeuvres around an
aircraft carrier.
"That is how we used to do exercises, in exactly the
same way. It looked exactly the same as we used to do
at sea," he said.
"Over the years I have had quite a few sightings,
mainly lights. I have had a close up encounter where I
have actually seen the ****tholes - just like you read
in the comic books of the past."
Farkas claims Wycliffe Well is one of only four or
five places in the world where there are constant
sightings of extraterrestrials and UFOs, probably the
most famous being the Nevada Desert in the U-ited
States.
The remoteness of the Australian outback has made it
harder for people to become aware of Wycliffe Well, but
it seems the news is slowly spreading.
It was truck drivers who in modern times first noticed
the unusual goings on, during World War II, when the
waterhole gave rise to market gardens that fed the w-r
effort against the Japanese up north in Darwin. Their
stories were mainly of strange lights in the sky.
But local Aboriginals also re****t that extraterrestrials
have been visiting the area for thousands of years, hanging
out around some of the area's stunning rock formations,
such as the Devil's Marbles, a sandstone formation just to
the north along the Stuart Highway.
Recently, a group of Aboriginal women in a local community
re****ted their own close encounter. They were sitting around
playing cards when a big beam of light appeared.
"There is no air****t so they have got to land somewhere"
UFOs apparently also land in the nearby Tanami desert,
according to the believers. "There is no air****t so they have
got to land somewhere," said Farkas.
It used to be easy to tell when there was UFO activity,
he said. The electronic banking and telephone lines would
go out. But with a change to fibre optic technology that
problem has disappeared.
Farkas dismisses claims that he might want to drum up
interest in UFOs to boost business at his roadhouse,
saying he has plenty of business from the constant
stream of motorists passing by.
Barry Williams, editor of Australia's quarterly journal
"The Skeptic" which attempts to debunk all kinds of suspect
science, has other explanations for the sightings. Many
could be of the planet Venus, others would be aircraft
landing lights, he says.
"We are not skeptical of people sighting things. We are
skeptical of some of the conclusions they come to from
what they have seen. They don't stand up to any crucial
thinking at all," he told AFP.
Alcohol or aliens?
The Northern Territory in general has the reputation of
having a large number of sightings of UFOs, he said, which
he suggests might be connected with the local drinking
habits.
"I don't know whether this is in any way connected with
the fact that the Northern Territory has the biggest beer
consumption of anywhere on earth," he said.
Keith Douglass, a cleaner at Alice Springs hospital
who follows UFOs on the side, says he has been up to
Wycliffe Well about half a dozen times but has never
seen anything.
Nevertheless, he has heard lots of tales, for example
of an Aboriginal woman who was chased by a UFO.
"It is a flat disc with a blue dome. It has been
sighted around Alice Springs a couple of times. It
chased this lady into town. She saw it again up at
Wycliffe Well," he said.
"Wycliffe Well - that's been going for years."
