If you can describe the New Testament in one word what would it be? It's very simple, it's the story of martyrs fighting the pharisees, the demiurge or God of the Old Covenant, the corrupted hearts and souls of men. It took me so long to figure this out after many years and months of studying conspiracy theories and Christianity.
The reason that governments hate Christians so much, poison them is because they do not want them to realize this. I believe Christ was a real man and part of God who died for my sins in an amazing but brilliant fashion. I really wonder about all of the miracles and the resurrections, all of it it doesn't seem real because enough of us haven't seen these miracles.
Anyway, that's not the important part of this. If you believe Christ was just a man, not even real, that's your choice. The bible though was in fact an intelligence operation to resist the evils in this world. It was the glory of the highest. They had so many things to resist, including how the elites at the time controlled the masses. The only way to break this is to tell the people in need about the glory of heaven and help them with food, tell them about the pharisees and the elites and how they use money to control the masses and fleshly desires.
I've simply struggled with temptations and fleshly desires and even love for my fellow man but I keep having these profound revelations.
Anyway, you cannot resist this corrupt state through acts of violence. That will never work, the only way to do it is through getting people who believe in Christ to think about the holy book. If there's parts of this you think are wrong, I'd like to hear.
Interesting comment from the atheist point of view, especially the historical “cross-pollinisation” you’ve identified, but I think most here have seen enough to know the world consists of more than the physical, and that the spiritual realm is real and impacts the physical.
Spirit is, in my understanding, akin to the aether, or as it is called these days “the zero-point energy inherent to space itself”. It is the limitless reservoir of creation and creativity. Some have called it the “akashic records”.

I strongly recommend you take an impartial look at all the information in that post. The book linked has a mind blowing discussion on this “energy” in the appendix, but it will make more sense the more context you have.
Very interesting link! Going to have to try to find a copy of that first Tome, thank you!
Then, in my estimation, you seem to be coming from a place where what I shared with you will lead to some “connecting the dots” so to speak on these issues. I strongly recommend that short 17m doc followed by the book. Nothing to do with drinking it though Jesus, it’s about retention and shaping.
