"Aphrodite" I pleaded to the moon drenched night sky, "Tell me; if love is meant to heal, then why does ir destroy those who choose it?"
From somewhere beyond the clouds, I heard the Goddess laugh.
And I knew. -Nikita Gill

I was reading in the book of Moroni and where it talks all about Faith, hope and charity. And I feel I learned a lot about it faith and hope.
Hope might be something you have an innate disposition towards. But really I feel like hope has more to do with knowledge and understanding. Understanding that the way things are don't have to remain. That things can be better.
Faith is described as a "hope of things not seen." But I don't think that means we are going into things blind. I know and understand that God even if he can't be seen will still help us and how he, with unseen power, can help us. He gives strength as we put in effort.
I wouldn't say Jesus is "just Dionysus" -- not any more than Dionysus is "just Osiris" or "just Mithras" or "just Shiva". Â You're on the right track, in that the mythology is archetypally the same -- the Infant God Of Light, the Compassionate Lover God, the Dying God / Sacrificed God, the Resurrected God. Â These apply to Dionysus and Jesus, yes, but also to many other deities. Â Most of those deities were born of virgin mothers, announced by stars, slept in mangers, were hidden away from kings or figures of power, travelled around spreading strange new teachings, were labelled insurrectionists or heretics, and ended up killed in a sacrificial way before ultimately being resurrected. Â But being part of the same archetype, the same mythic family, doesn't mean Jesus = Dionysus in any complete real way.
I'm trying to write a paper on why Jesus is just Dionysus, but stupid Christian websites keep getting in my way.
Any help would be so awesome!!! Websites, books, documentaries, you name it i’ll look into it. Just no more ” Satan implanted those myths so that we would doubt Christ” for the love of the Gods.
