Creation stories
Anyone recall seeing the p[ost pointing out all the similiarities between many of the creation stories and the jesus myth? Would be nice if something like it were included in the Rational Content Articles and Essays section ...

If I had an actual PC to work with, I'd likely be intrigued enough to write an essay on this. Off the top of my head I can think of two tales that closely resemble that of jesus, which predate jesus: hercules and dionysus.

The mithra myth is so close to christianity it's not funny. Am not sure but I think a key christian argument against mithra and a relationship to christianity is the relative youth of the existing sources.
I think between the mussies at the Alexandria book-burning and the efforts of 2000 years of priests most if not all the mithra texts have been destroyed - apparently.
