[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true, the death and resurrection of Jesus is so similar to other myths because of its ties to the winter solstice, when the sun is at the lowest point (dies) and rises again visibly 3 days later.

That's right, Jesus's story has roots in pagan sun worshiping.

Satan did that to confuse people, knowing that the time would come when most of the faithful would know how to read and write and could find out for themselves the similarities between their god and the pagan gods of the past.  That story worked for a long time, though, because during most of the history of Christianity ( and all other religions, for that matter) people were illiterate and dependent on religious authorities for all their information about their faith.[/quote]

You know, I disagree with everything you say, but I really admire your ability to come up with an explanation for everything. Bravo and oy vey.[/quote]

the explanations are standard Christian thought.  Not to say that all Christians think alike.  There is much diversity among them, as evidenced by there being so many different denominations and even people who identify as Christian who don't belong to any denomination but who make up their own stories, not found in any church doctrine or the Bible, e.g. Jesus writing notes to a 3 year old saying their dead pet is in heaven.
