[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a groundhog? [/quote]

A groundhog is a (I actually think "the" but , who knows, there may be more than one of her) poster who seizes on stray comments on Religion Forum threads to promote her pet theories about the origin and nature of Christianity.

Specifically, she believes that Jesus is a mythological figure whose followers made him up using a pastiche of other ancient gods, especially Horus and Mithras.  Christmas topics are meat to Groundhog because she can then say how it was not the birthday of Christ but a bastardization of pagan winter solistice holidays, thus underscoring her point that Christianity is really a pagan cult.

Groundhog never provides cites for her sources but some dedicated posters have located the sketchy atheist websites from which she often cuts and pastes.

Her postings re-iterating the same themses show up over and over again in Religion threads, often disrupting and derailing them.  Hence the name some have fondly given her--Groundhog as in the movie, "Groundhog Day."[/quote]

Doesn't seem to apply to this thread, whose topic is specifically about historical records of Jesus.  Also, several posts include citations. [/quote]

Those defending the proposition Jesus existed have posted references to Josephus etc.  I didn't see any citations posted by the Jesus deniers.  Perhaps I missed them?[/quote]
