I have uploaded this file as information only. By doing so, I am
|
|
not in any way recommending or attesting to the veracity or usefullness
|
|
of any material contained in any of the listed books. I have found
|
|
John (Ballantrae) to be an excellent source of out-of-print material
|
|
and there have been very few books that I have requested that he has
|
|
not been able to locate and I hope that he will be a valuable resource
|
|
for the members of this forum also.
|
|
|
|
Blessed Be!

SEX SYMBOLISM IN RELIGION (1922) J.B. Hannay. "All the Ideas in the Bible,
|
|
the nature of the Gods, the stories of creation, miracles, life and death,
|
|
the manner of sacrificing, worshipping, vowing, building altars, arks,
|
|
dress, altar furniture, and symbolism - in fact the entire religion as taught
|
|
us in the Bible - are absolutely and totaqlly founded upon and saturated with
|
|
Pallism; and the Phallic cult is that on which Christianity has been founded.
|
|
Phallism is sex symbolism, and all creative power in a god is symbolized by
|
|
the actual facts of creation of life in nature by means of the organs of sex.
|
|
In my preface to Christianity I wrote, 'Any work on the symbolism of
|
|
religion, without treating its pahllic basis, would be like Hamlet without
|
|
the Prince of Denmark".
