The conversation explores why fringe theories around Jesus remain so compelling, how theology, mythology, and allegory overlap, and why these ideas keep resurfacing in modern culture. Jared explains how the book grew out of a more scholarly project and became a deeper dive into the stranger theories surrounding Christ. The discussion covers the idea of Jesus as an alien, the role of AI in apocalyptic narratives, the influence of the Book of Enoch, the possibility of Jesus traveling through the East, and the argument that many religious stories work as layered allegories rather than literal history. Jared also shares how his own views have shifted over time, from Catholic upbringing to atheism, agnosticism, and a more spiritual perspective shaped by his research. The episode also touches on: Jesus and AI as modern end-times symbolism The tension between scholarship, belief, and conspiracy The role of scripture, Gnostic texts, and non-canonical sources Whether Jesus was a historical figure or a Roman invention The mushroom theory, the Shroud of Turin, and the "three days" motif Flood myths, cataclysms, and parallels across ancient traditions The overlap between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam Travel, sacred places, and spiritual atmosphere around the world Author, Artist, Traveller, Theological Researcher - Jared has self published 12 books, some on the untold mysteries behind the Christian Prophet. https://jaredwoodssavedmylife.com/ To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.
