The Messiah Matrix

I truly enjoyed this story. I have read about the many stories of Messiah's, and of virgin births, in other cultures, many preceding the story of Jesus. Note that I was raised a Christian, in a Southern Baptist church, and thus, what has been written would probably be called blasphemy. However, my belief system has grown from that which was professed as the gospel during my early years. I am able to see past the worship of a person, living God or otherwise, and find that the message is what is important. The "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" message should be easy to hear regardless of the source--or, are we so caught in the need to worship a being, that we cannot see the forest for the tree?
Call this novel controversial. Call it a challenge. Call it excellent writing with a message that surpasses the dispute as to who claimed what first, and whether it is of any moment as to who can claim the foundation of the Christianity. Was Jesus ever on earth, or whether it was in fact a Roman Caesar, Augustus, who founded the belief system is an excellent question. For me, it's still Jesus, but that's mine to believe. Is the message changed? Is the command of the two greatest principals any different: love God with all you heart and mind and soul, and love your neighbor as you love yourself?
Can the "Word" be spread by just anyone? Can it come from a child? Out of the mouth of babes...Yes, this is a very good story, and should become a motion picture so that more people will see that the ideas can come from any source. It is how we live that counts. - 5 Star Amazon Review
