[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 959178, member: 7966"] As [B]sober[/B] stated, previous religion's mythologies, icons and rituals are assumed and used by later religions. From my studies, I was well aware that Mithra was the primary reason that Jesus's birthday and the celebration thereof was on December 25th. I was aware that Egyptian mythology heavily influenced Jewish mythology and thus Christian mythology. I was also aware that Greek mythology heavily influenced the Christian mythology. I was aware that the Greek mythology influence was a major reason for Jewish non-acceptance of Christian mythologies. I have read a couple books on the similarities of Eastern figures (Krishna and Buddha) on the Jesus persona but I found them lacking. Attis would most likely have been influenced by Christianity than vice-verse. Although I was aware of many similarities in Egyptian mythology to the Jesus mythology, I was not aware of how closely Horus lined up with Jesus ... Thanks for this new area to explore. [/QUOTE]
