I don't know who said this, but is was said and very true:' religion is myth misunderstood. '
The Gospel has both hidden alchemy and was edited too by christians who didn't understand what they were reading. Anyone really familiar with alchemy knows that. Allegories are taken litteraly, and vice versa.
