ke, director of the anthropological society of London, when
commenting on the obscene myths upon which the Christian religion rests,
remarks:

"The fundamental basis of Christianity is more purely phallic than that
of any other religion now existing, and its emotional nature... shows
how intimately it was related to the older faiths which had a phallic
basis."

After stating that the myth of creation and that of the flood have their
exact counterpart in India, the Rev. Mr. Faber remarks that "there is
no rite or ceremony directed in the Pentateuch of which there is not an
exact copy in the rites of the pagans."

The Christian doctrines as established by Paul, and afterwards
formulated into a system by the Romish Church, were adopted by the
ignorant multitude who, being incapable of understanding the higher
principles involved, accepted the allegories beneath which were veiled
the ancient mysteries literally, and as the highest expression of
divine wisdom. Hence the comparatively recent observation that the "new
religion was eventually but the gathering in of the superstitions of
paganism" is a matter of little surprise to those who have carefully
examined the facts connected with the growth of religious faith.

Under the new regime Christ became the New Solar Deity and round him
were finally ranged all the myths of Solo-phallic worship which had
prevailed under the adoration of Crishna at a time when the higher
truths underlying pure Nature-worship had been forgotten.

CHAPTER XV. CHRISTIANITY IN IRELAND.

According to the accounts in the New Testament, the wise men of the
East, meaning Persia, had foretold the coming of Christ. The fulfilment
of the ancient Persian prophecy as applied to Jesus, together with the
reference to the "star" which the Maji saw, and which went before them
till it came and stood over where the young child lay, furnishes a
striking illustration of the manner in which Eastern legends and
ancient sacred writings are interwoven with the doctrines relating to
Christianity.

In the sacred books of the East it is prophesied that "after three
thousand and one hundred years of the Caligula are elapsed, will appear
King Saca to remove wretchedness from the world." We have seen that at
the birth of Christ the time had arrived for a new solar incarnation.

Regarding the introduction of Christianity into Ireland it is claimed by
certain writers that the Irish did not receive the "new religion"
