Presentation
Thanks to archaeological discoveries, to the translations from
sumerian, egyptian and aramaic, each and everyone can at last discover
the origin of the "sacred texts".  Far from being  the word of " God",
the revealed religions recycled archaic old myths.  One will see why
they have provoked so many slaughters, by drawing their followers in
the trap of ignorance and vanity.
This work, very different from the official legends, takes us into one
of the most fabulous human creations, the invention of myths and
prophets.  The author invites you to a fascinating inquiry into the
heart of monotheist religions.
You will discover that, as other biblical prophets, Mohammed seems to
be one of the most famous historical hoaxes.  You will also learn why,
in which period and in which language the Coran was written and with
which aim.
Indispensable for human beings in quest of spiritual authenticity, and
also for every person wishing to understand current events and defend
the freedom of expression.

Bernard Raquin, psychotherapist and  teacher in many seminars, has
published a number of books on spirituality and personal development.
Following the murder of his sister by her son and husband claiming to
be from  "Islam", he decided to  unveil the falsification and to shed
light on the spiritual path and historical truth.

"The ones who take in broad daylight any new proposition are first
called heretics."
(Montesquieu)

Short bibliography

Does monotheism lead preferentially to crime? The question was often
asked by specialists of religions.  The nine first Califs of Islam
perished assassinated.  Preventing to think never served human
dignity, neither the cause of God.  Scholars wondered if certain
religions are not constitutively violent.  But more than monotheism,
it is the prophetic neurosis which is so often devil's mouthpiece...p.

Unfortunately for the beliefs of Christians, the historian Philo of
Alexandria, who was Jesus' contemporary and wrote several volumes, do
not quote him, and if the Messiah is famous until Syria, should we
believe Matthew, and until Egypt or Babylon since the Mages have come
from there, while is he not quoted anywhere in the chronicles? For the
past 2000 years, billions of Christian have wondered : why are we
still obliged to commit evil and suffer it, and indeed live,  as if
Christ had never come?...

[The author put a few paragraphs a little more on the right to
indicate more personal and psychological reflections]
At the beginning was the lie : lies of prophets who forced visions and
voices to serve a political cause.  I do not doubt visions, an eternal
and dream perception of the world.  But a vision giving even
instructions about food, laws, hygiene and war is an illusion, because
nothing is more fluctuating than the customs and beliefs.  Visions are
images drawn from the collective unconscious, teachings of wisdom,
they are allegorical and not ready-made answers to circumstantial
problems.
The three "biblical" religions have in common the destruction of
sources, the disregard for others and their pretension to detain the
revealed truth.  Revealed by whom ? Not by a hoary sage full of
wisdom, polished by decades of asceticism and ennobling acts, but by
vociferous prophets.  If God exists, it may be doubted that He chose
personality as controversial as Moses, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, David or
Mohammed, such as described by the tradition.  The prophetic points to
his victim, the sage shows the path.

    In what monotheism has served the cause of the unique God, who may
well have done without this wicked homage?  Even the Gospels contain
rages.  Some claim that the apostles represented a movement of
rebellion... Simon the Zealot, who became later Peter, was, as his
name indicates, an activist.  His brother Judah (not Judah the
traitor) was called Iscariot, i.e. holder of the dagger with a bent
edge...  Then this group was destroyed and consequently divinized,
according to a mechanism which was well analyzed by René Girard. The
exceptional person becomes a devil, a hero or a saint.
In which way polytheist were pagans ? Pagans, the Sumerians ,
inventors of writing, of laws, of the wheel, of most of the myths
which forged our civilization?  They who have created schools and the
very first parliament?  Pagans, the Babylonians, inventors of
astronomy, of medicine, of treatises on plants and of the fabrication
of therapeutical drugs?
Ignorant, the Egyptians, where men and women were equals?  It is
sufficient to go in any museum to become immediately struck by wonder,
and modest.
Idolatrous, the Zoroastrians, without image of God, inciting to go
beyond oneself through "good thoughts, good words and good actions"?
Pagans, Krishna's devotees, seeking forgiveness and goodness in the
cult of fecundity, intoxicated with the gratitude for the boons from
heaven?  Infidels, the worshippers of Vishnu, good ascetics who where
detached from the appearances of the world, who wanted to realize the
Atman, and merge into the deep consciousness of the Whole ?
Pagans, the Amerindians and their prestigious civilization?  The
Aztec ?!
Idolatrous, the Celts and their refined conception of the divine, who
have dominated the world during several millennia and which have
elaborated myths taken again by Christianity?
Ignorant, the Buddhist, whose spirit glides above the feelings of
villainy? Idolatrous, the Jains, who do not kill animal and forbid to
themselves any violence ?
How much base feelings this despise, this self-conceit expresses. My
Goodness! Free us from these desert prophets, hellish creatures,
presumptuous, wicked, ignorant, who come out from the dark age heading
hosts of warriors of apocalypse, with foam at the mouth, with erected
sticks, the very servants of Satan!
"The prophets, these goats with a long beard, cannot pretend to any
intellectual or spiritual superiority... Their duplicity is obvious by
their very contradicting each other... As for the Coran, it is only a
bundle of nonsensical fables... The treatises of the Ancients such as
Plato, Aristotle, Euclides or Hippocrat have rendered greater services
to humanity." (Ibn Warraq quoting Abdel Razin Why I am not a Muslim, p.
324)

The soul who is seeking ecstasies against the others, end in the cul-
de-sac of mad anger.  And the mystic who is petrified by awe will more
surely meet the "lower astral plane", the universe of those deities
which are evoked in the Tibetan Book of the Dead rather than bliss and
wonder.
The savior god was hardly a new thing when Jesus (whose name means I
save) appeared : Apollo, Adonis, Osiris, Serapis, Tanmuz in Sumer and
Syria, Odin in ancient Germany, Dionysos-Bacchus, Orpheus, Mithra and
Horus were around....(p.55-56)
    When monotheism has inevitably lead to wars against the inevitable
heresies, young saplings sprout, a fresh wind from the human spirit,
who rediscovers the psychic functions of the old gods.  And for that,
no need of books or ancient idols: the functioning of the brain is
sufficient.  Any person is able to rediscover them by listening to his
unconscious.  Monotheism, opposed to the functioning of the brain,
does not exist in any religion. Our brain needs, to transform the
thoughts in words, to elaborate representations.  This explain, to my
eye, why pure monotheism, which was meant only for rare sages,
produces so many pathologies among ordinary believers, by pushing them
towards schizophrenia.56

Among the other influences on Jesus, the room is lacking to evoke
Apollonius of Tyan, and overall Mithra whose cult has been entirely
copied by the Christians.  [Raquin quotes many details and proofs of
this well-known fact]
