Besides, when you look at Dionysus-Orsirus, and other such myths, you will also see the parallels...When reading through you'll see how one belief borrowed from another...It seemed even the Roman Catholic church knew of this.
Here's a christian fundamentilist's response about Christianity *NOT* being influenced by Mithraism:http://www.tektonics.org/copycat/mithra.html
Tell me what you think after you're done reading this article.
The assertion that Jesus Christ is a myth can be proved not only through the works of dissenters and "pagans" who knew the truth - and who were viciously refuted or murdered for their battle against the Christian priests and "Church Fathers" fooling the masses with their fictions - but also through the very statements of the Christians themselves, who continuously disclose that they knew Jesus Christ was a myth founded upon more ancient deities located throughout the known ancient world. In fact, Pope Leo X, privy to the truth because of his high rank, made this curious declaration, "What profit has not that fable of Christ brought us!" As Wheless says, "The proofs of my indictment are marvellously easy."
