What if they picked the wrong religion to make official?

then we'd all be sharing presents on Mithras Day, spending time during Mithras vacation... hanging stuff up on our Mithras tree.
OoOoOO we could sing, "have a holly jolly Mithras..."
or "have yourself a merry little mithras..."
or "all i want for mithras is my two front teeth"
... "oh mithras tree..." or "twelve days of mithras"
hmmm... or would it be called Mithrasmas?

Historically, they had to pick Christianity the official religion.
Christianity was growing fast in Europe and to keep the huge Roman Empire in order, Constantine, the emperor who was trying to recreate the glory of Rome, picked Christianity and improved it

I think they did pick the wrong one. However if memory serves, Mirtha was a rather unfriendly God and one who liked only men to worship him. Personally I don't think they should have picked either to make official.

Here's a clue ... Mithra didn't exist. Jesus Christ did.

They picked the right one for what they wanted to do-control people. My family had to flee their country because of the Romans.

Isn't "wrong religion" redundant?

Well, when it's all over and we meet our Creator(s), that'll be awkward. Especially for the Christians.
