If that's the dictionary definition of humanism,I'm not sure I see how Akhenaten fits that description. |

LOL - Yea, I'm a fast one! I haven't been on the boards for a week or so (my apologies on that one - I did catch 2 new members who were spammers, a couple days ago. They won't be able to post now. So annoying.) Don't forget to check out the reincarnation post (in this same religion section) that I posted earlier today - it's an interesting idea that might bring up some discussion! |

Do you believe in the Aten? Because if you do, then I suggest a link to Akhetaten or the Aten in a past life, personally? Furthermore if so, how did you begin to believe in the Aten? |

I suppose the book of coming forth by day wouldn't be included in the bible as it has a few Gods, and I don't think Atten is mentioned. |

Agreed, I don't think the Book would most likely be included,since it does have quite a few gods and goddesses in it,however,the Aten does have a mention in the Book,so maybe just those lines would work. |

Good point It doesn't seem like there's much existing stuff to use. |

There really isn't,other than the Great Hymn,which seems to be the main "scripture" if you will,for Atenism. It's a pretty individual,solitary path,as there really aren't many Atenists out there. (I think this is one major reason why an Atenist "Book" has never materialized: there's not enough people out there for interest in the project,and for those few Atenists that are out there,it's very much a "do it yourself" kind of thing. |

AkenAten's Monotheism Akhnaten believed in One God who was self-produced, self-existent, immortal, invisible, eternal,almighty. This One God was never actually represented.Since there cannot be more than one being who possesses supreme Dominion all over things, he refused the trinity of Amen, Mut and Khensu. AkenAten believe The essence of God Aten is One not only in kind but also in number. It can not in anyway contain a plurality of persons, since an individual person is nothing else than an individual intelligent essence. Far from being a primitive, polytheistic form, this is the highest expression of monotheistic mysticism. IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOI Monotheism, the believe that only one god exists and was brought to the Egyptians of the 18th Dynasty by Akhenaten. Some even believe that Akhenaten was the pioneer of a monotheistic religion that later became Judism. One of those is Sigmund Freud, in his book Moses and Monotheism he argues that Moses was an Atenist priest that was forced out of Egypt after Akhenatens death.In this book Freud argues that what Akhenaten was trying to achieve in ancient Egypt, to promote monotheism, was successfully achieved by the biblical Moses. Freud also said that monotheism was not a Jewish but an Egyptian invention, descending from the cult of the Egyptian sun god Aten. written by Jacobus van Dijk http://historyarchaeology.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/akhenaten-and-monotheism/ The Ancient Egyptian Monotheism The Ancient Egyptians believed in One God who was self-produced, self-existent, immortal, invisible, eternal, omniscient, almighty, etc. This One God was never represented. It is the functions and attributes of his domain that were represented. These attributes were called the neteru (pronounced net-er-u, singular: neter in the masculine form and ( netert in the feminine form . The term, gods, is a misrepresentation "of the Egyptian term, "neteru The animal or animal-headed neteru Gods/goddesses: are symbolic expressions of a deep spiritual understanding. When a total animal is depicted in Ancient Egypt, it represents a particular function/attribute in its purest form. When an animal-headed figure is depicted, it conveys that particular function/attribute in the human being. Names in Ancient Egypt were not just labels. A name was like a short resume or synopsis of the principle. For example, the neter (god) Ra (Re) is described in the Unas Funerary (Pyramid) Texts: "They cause thee to come into being as Ra, in his name of Khepri." Khepri is not just another label/name for Ra (Re). Khepri means coming into http://www.egypt-tehuti.org/articles/monotheism-polytheism.html Alexander the great was the savior from the Persian tyranny .

The titles of Jesus Christ : The savior , the king , the son of God , and (The apparent GOD ) The title of Ramses ( 11 of them and more alike ).
