I'm a Christian, and this doesn't bother me all that much since as a mystic, I see the basic truth that is most complete in Christianity, but is the root of all religions.
However, for the traditional Christians out there, does it bother you that...
- December 25 is also the birthday of Sol Invictus and Mithra amongst others, bread and wine a common theme in Mithraism
- Osiris-Dionysus is God made flesh, the savior and "Son of God", born in a cave of a virgin (manger anyone?), not to mention turned water into wine at a marriage ceremony (Cana anyone?
- Those statues of Horus nursing from Isis breast suspiciously mirror those pictures of Mary with baby Jesus
Those are just off the top of my head, I know there are more.
Anyone care to recognize the borrowing from older religions?
