The telling of the story of the crucifixion and resurrection in early texts does follow a pattern that was common in storytelling at the time, however, having to do with the pagan deity Dionysius (Zeus’s son).

Pagans, especially modern ones, assume that nature worship predates Christianity. What they forget, or hope never happened, is that Noah and his sons brought with them knowledge of the Creator God and the preflood world. After the flood it was Amraphel (Nimrod) who turned the people to worship of nature. The rest is history

Recently I decided to start reading the KJV of the bible again and read from start to finish this time. I just got done reading about Noah. It’s something I had to take a test on as a kid, in fact, because I went to catholic school. But when I read these stories I sort of skipped over a lot of the stuff that wasn’t action. Thanks for pointing that out. Happy Easter!
