Christ takes a second swing at the Pagan Mystery of Bacchus
Compare what Christ said to what is written in "The Bacchae" lines # 72- 82.
"For now I raise the old, old hymn to Dionysos.
Blessed, blessed are those who know the mystery of god.
Blessed is he who hallows his life in the worship of god, he whom the spirit of god possesseth, who is one with those who belong to the holy body of god.
Blessed are the dancers and those who are purified, who dance on the hill in the holy dance of god.
Blessed are they who keep the rite of Kybele the Mother.
Blessed are the thyrus-bearers, those who wield in their hands the holy wand of god.
Blessed are those who wear the crown of the ivy of god.
Blessed, blessed are they: Dionysos is their god!"
Notice the mention of Kybele the Mother? It is little wonder that that is the mystery they went to after the Mystery of Bacchus was smashed.
The problem though, for every so called Christian who would like to sabotage Michael is, the Mother- Daughter Mystery doesn't satisfy these people.
It isn't violent enough! Flower power, tree-hugging, and Abortion (even millions of them) done behind closed doors, just doesn't inspire enough fear to accomplish their goals.
It's also not effeminate enough! They do not want to stop until they can get Bacchus back. To bad though, he's dead.
