Do you Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savoir?

The book relates the development of language to the development of myths, religions, and cultic practices in world cultures. Allegro believed he could prove, through etymology, that the roots of Christianity, as of many other religions, lay in fertility cults, and that cult practices, such as ingesting visionary plants (or "psychedelics") to perceive the mind of God, persisted into the early Christian era, and to some unspecified extent into the 13th century with reoccurrences in the 18th century and mid-20th century, as he interprets the Plaincourault chapel's fresco to be an accurate depiction of the ritual ingestion of Amanita muscaria as the Eucharist. Allegro argued that Jesus never existed and was a mythological creation of early Christians under the influence of psychoactive mushroom extracts such as psylocibin.
Whoever explained what you just talked about didn't do a very good job bro. The act of waiting in line or meeting Billy Graham doesn't make you saved. But they likely had someone explain the Gospel of Christ and if people chose to accept the Lord as their Savior at that point, that's what would make them "Saved."
They estimate actually that only 10% of the people that went forward at the Billy Graham crusades genuinely gave their lives to Christ.

Thank you. I know exactly what you mean. I ended up having to edit a lot off the gospel part of the film due to a lot of people when interviewed they went into preach mode. Speaking the word & preaching are two different things. Don't lay a guilt trip on me. And don't make me feel like your trying to make me buy a car I don't want to buy is the best I can describe it.
I reached out to other gospel / Christian rappers when I filmed this, but ironically they were the only people (out of the whole film) who asked to be paid for being in my film. I declined interviewing them due to them failing to understand it was an underground film with a sole out of pocket budget.
