Summary: This book changes lives!
Comment: The Christ Conspiracy is not only well written, and fairly easy to digest, it is a bold and significant challenge to the blindly accepted constructs of reality. It lays out the biggest hoax in history in a legal manner, but like a John Grisham thriller, smoothly leading the reader through a series of thorough and devastating arguments. These arguments cover a large range of topics, including archeology, history and language, extending back thousands of years.
The Christ Conspiracy is over 400 pages long, but it can't cover every subject in depth or it would be an encyclopedia, as most people can understand.
The book is scholarly, but it is written in a style that is available to the average person. It contains incredibly important information which has been known to scholars but which has not made it to the masses. It also contains much new info and reasoning not found in other books on the subject. It is, in fact, unique, to my knowledge.
Those with wisdom, or even a little common sense, will understand why the author criticizes Christianity for the horror it has caused in the world. ...
In addition to moments of righteous indignation are countless important FACTS, not "bias" and "opinion."
This life-changing book was obviously very difficult to research and write, but the author does an amazing job, with honesty and integrity, and the knowledge she presents is vast. Still, the whiners and complainers will continue to bleat and wail, as the very foundation of their fear-based reality crumbles before their eyes!
I will say this: Reading the Christ Conspiracy gives me a strong dose of reality. From another perspective--understanding AND disillusionment are doorways to enlightenment. I strongly suggest reading this book: It just could give you THE JOLT of enlightenment that will last a lifetime...Get a CLUE!

Summary: For sincere seekers only
Comment: Having spent 40 years researching comparative religions for truth and not simply to feed false hopes or vanity, I found this book to be among the most logical links between fact, fantasy, and fiction. This author has great courage to face-off with those who hide behind regimented dogma and wishful thinking. ...I saw her as a sincere seeker of unvarnished truth.
As for this work having a massive amount of references, that is absolutely necessary because of the mountains of works already on the shelves that prove her proposition one fact at a time. This speaks well of Acharya's determination to weld together her work by quoting other works of fact.
Having followed much of the same path, I must applaude her diligence and ability to offer the truth, not the fantasy.< ...I read the history of how Christians burned people alive for not 'believing' in their 'loving God.' I read of the Children's Crusade which left them starving and sold into slavery - where was this Loving God then? Why did The Almighty let it happen?
Why?
I found out why. Christianity was based upon and proved itself true to one consistent rule: Believe as we believe . . . or we will kill you. Hm. Sounds much like the Taliban whom we condemn.
Yet there is so much good basic intentions in all the Christian, Muslim, and Judaic faiths. The intentions are good, but often those intentions are lost in practice via the so-called ministers to that 'faith' - as we see in the rampant molestation of children by Catholic priests.
Again, why?
And what is 'faith?' Faith seems to be best defined as accepting something without proof . . ..
Acharya offers this book to those who truly want to know who they are, why they are, what makes us the way we are, and how can we become better. Check every reference she lists - then THINK! Make your own decisions; that's why God gave you a brain.

Summary: Debunking Xianity in one fell swoop...
Comment: There is a fundamental problem with Christianity. One so bewilderingly unimaginable as to have remained almost entirely unplumbed, save by the most intelligent few of our recent history.
This simple fact is: Christianity is obsolete.
To wit:
"The various modes of worship, which prevailed in the Roman world, were all considered by the people, as equally true; by the philosopher, as equally false; and by the magistrate, as equally useful."
Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
And it was due (at least in part) to said magistrates' very realization that the 'useful tool' of the Holy Catholic Church of Rome came into being. It was the 'perfect' blending of "church and state", the establishment of a national religion that encompassed aspects of many of the popular religions during that time. For some time now, though, Christianity has outlived its original purpose: to establish a 'unified church' within the then religiously scattered, impossibly philosophically segmented Roman Empire under one all-encompassing religion. Thus, Christianity has been rendered inutile to modern-day humanity. In fact, for anyone to continue to 'believe' in any religion, including and especially one such as Christianity, in light of the well-established facts surrounding its foundation and history (both past and present), is tantamount to that person choosing to cling to a psychological pathology equal to dementia praecox or multiple personality disorder or worse. There has never been, in all of recorded history, a bloodier, more vile and despicable chronicle associated with any religion than that of Christianity. Suffice to say that Christianity holds the record for the most human lives folded, spindled, and mutilated in the name of God in recorded history.
Now, if that doesn't want to make you take a screaming leap from Noah's Ark, then I humbly direct your attention to the book entitled The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold.
Acharya S (a 'pseudonym' meaning "teacher") has written a book that I can unabashedly refer to as 'one of, if not the, most mind-bending bodies of information ever compiled on the subject of the myth known as Christianity'. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that, to the Christian and non-Christian alike, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold is, by far, a more important book than the one many folks refer to glibly as the Good Book itself. That may sound like an outrageously haughty claim. Very well. Let us put that claim to the test, shall we? I challenge you, Joe Reader, to read it, cover to cover, word for word. My wager is that you won't make it all the way through the 417+ pages of overwhelmingly erudite information contained in this book; just as you, the average reader, has never made it all the way through the Holy Bible. If you are like me, you are terminally intimidated by the very idea of reading the Bible in its seemingly endlessly mind-numbing entirety. But then, reading the Bible is only half the battle. The problem that most Christians share in common is this: though they may read the Holy Bible, they never really truly understand it. To read the Bible without knowing how to read it, how to interpret it, how to work through the thousands of errors of translation and interpolation, the resultant blatant self-contradictions and the layers upon layers of symbolism, metaphor and allegory, is a most outrageous waste of time at best.
Not only has Acharya S read the Holy Bible in its entirety (in the languages in which the texts were originally written), but she has also armed herself with the knowledge necessary to accurately interpret it. This fact only serves to bolster her qualification to comment critically on it. In order to thoroughly and satisfactorily examine the Holy Bible, one must not only painstakingly study the Bible in every conceivable aspect of its detail but also do the same with all other related texts that hold something in common, even remotely so, with that thing in question. In this case, one must look outside the Bible in order to compare and contrast, poke and prod, question and ruminate and then, finally, discover the truth about its foundation, the reason for its very existence - the religion of Christianity.
This is a feat most Christians have never accomplished. They might have read it, but they just haven't understood it.
The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold is the single most effective antidote to Christianity ever written. It is definitely not the book your pastor wants you to read.
There is nothing I could write here in a review that could hope to do this ineffably profound work justice. It is neither magniloquent nor is it written for the simple-minded. Many will find the book daunting to read, almost text-like, not because of the vocabulary or the concepts presented but simply because of the very fact that Acharya S has poured so much information into it that it is definitely not to be taken in large bites. It is heavy at times, like wading upstream in a river in flood. It is not a casual read and it shouldn't be, considering the subject matter. On the contrary, I recommend taking it in slowly, like a rich liqueur, taking the time to savor each point, paragraph or page, in order to grok its profundity completely, to get its full benefit. From a scholar's point of view, The Christ Conspiracy: The Greatest Story Ever Sold, is a challenging and respectable contribution to philosophical academia and, hence, a very rewarding read. From a layperson's perspective, it is nothing less than a wakeless revelation whose time has definitely come. Scholar or layperson, regardless, it will change you. So be prepared. Amen.
