SpeedRacer 1 #8 December 9, 2011 Although I have heard different stories of the Mithra/ Christ connection. The Mithra religion was old, but it didn't become popular among the Romans until AFTER the first century AD. At that time, Christianity was starting to grow. So the Roman adherents to Mithra altered the story & added in the Virgin Birth story, to steal some thunder from the Christians. This is similar to the way modern Wiccans borrow old religions and then alter them. In the original story (pre Christian) Mithra is not born to a virgin mother. Instead, Mithra emerges from out of a rock. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh great; now all the teenagers who couldn't get their parents to buy into the whole virgin birth thing (Mary's parents must have been the most gullible dufuses in all of Bethlehem) are going to start claiming they found the baby under a rock." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Persian cats are only destructive and bloody when you try to give them a bath or take them to the vet. Or. . .when you have candles lit for the romantic getaway with your wife and that bastard cat jumps up, gets singed and hair on fire runs yowling right underneath it's comfort zone. . .your bed, nearly causing a bedroom fire. Proud to say that our cat, Thelma, did not receive third degree burns as we got her in time. But looking back. . .It's kind of funny now. But we definitely pissed our pants during. No more persians.
