I think the deeper similarities to Krishna are due to temporal proximity. The two myths were separated by around 1000 years or so. While Krishna's name has remained the same for thousands of years, what's slightly stranger about the Jesus myth, but rarely discussed, is that the name Jesus is only around 400 years old, because the letter J was invented in the year 1524. So if the character had been a real historical figure, he wouldn't even respond to the name "Jesus", since this name was only introduced in the King James bible less than 400 hundred years ago. Today's believers worship a main character who had a fairly recent name-change, as the name Jesus was popularized across the English-speaking world by a British king's bible rewrite.AI restrictions and limitations are becoming a complete joke. Every time we try to use AI for something useful, we run into unnecessary barriers. Companies claim they want AI to help, but then cripple it with ridiculous safeguards. If AI is supposed to revolutionize learning and work, why does it feel like we're constantly fighting against it? Just look at this comparison of AI-powered learning platforms: https://ddi-dev.com/blog/programming...ing-platforms/ ai should be a tool for progress, not a bureaucratic nightmare. Fix this nonsense!
Some of the similarities to the Krishna myth are pretty fascinating..
* Both Krishna and Jesus were from royal descent.
* Both were born with some form of divine intervention.
* As kids, Krishna and Jesus both hid from evil rulers who wanted to kill all new born males. Krishna hid from Prince Kansa. Jesus hid from King Herod.
* Both had to make a great escape, Krishna had to cross a river (as did Moses), Jesus had to flee to Egypt.
* Again similar to Moses, when Krishna crossed the river, the waters parted to allow easy passage. In the later Moses story, the seas parted for easy passage.. (cross-references within the religions where selective sections from the earlier Krishna myth are later modified and shared between the Moses and Jesus characters in the Bible)
* Both Jesus and Krishna were called "lord" and "savior" in their lifetime.
* Both experienced transfiguration, and their bodies shone light.
* Both performed miracles and healing.
* Krishna cured a hunchback woman, Jesus cured lepers.
* Both brought people back to life.
* Both had to fight demons.
* Both have very similar names, Krishna - Christ. The word Krishna may have roots in the Sanskrit word Krsta, which means Supreme Being or Pure.
* Both died by sharp weapons near wood. Krishna died near a tree, by an arrow to the heel (his only weak spot, like the Achilles story), Jesus died by crucifixion on a wooden cross.
* etc..
