The Irish thing baffles me. There is no evidence of a Bronze-Age literary culture, or finely engineered stone monuments such as we see in the Middle East, or Mayan South America.

I search in vain for sources of this material, other than Michael Tsarion.

I do agree, he has a one-track mind concerning Ireland.

But, to me, it's interesting.

I was raised Catholic.

Where would Christianity be without the concept of Original Sin?

It has always seemed to me that most of the people who act badly, do so because, survival is so hard for them.

And, humans are born with the drive to survive.

Is it their fault that their strongest drive is to survive, and that when they are in a life and death competition with many others at the bottom to do so, they act worse than they would like to?

In my opinion, Christianity reverses the situation - people are born bad and deserve nothing good.

If your life seems very hard and unfair, are you less likely to rebel if you believe you deserve it?

Could Original Sin actually be only a control mechanism?

The idea resonates with me.

-------------------------------------------------------------

And, as I said before, I think the concept of Original Sin exonerates God.

The idea is that life was wonderful for all humanoids and animals, before Adam and Eve.

But, who believes that?

Additionally, how am I guilty and deserving of a miserable life and eternal punishment in Hell, because of what two people did 300 generations ago?

Again, I'm seeing an attempt at control.

What is more frightening than ETERNAL misery after death?

If they believed it was true, how many people would do anything to avoid it?

What power would accrue to the manipulators?

What if everyone said, "I think Hell was invented to concentrate power in a tiny group of people, so 'F'-you."?

That's the appeal I see in the galactic channeling stuff, it says we're good and have been deceived.
