[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What other ancient god w as also crucified?[/quote]
Zoroastrianism

ATTIS : Born of the virgin Nana on December 25. He was both the Father and the Divine Son. He was a savior crucified on a tree for the salvation of mankind. He was buried but on the third day the priests found the tomb empty -- He had arisen from the dead (on March 25th). He followers were baptized in blood, thereby washing away their sins -- after which they declared themselves "born again." His followers ate a sacred meal of bread, which they believed became the body of the savior.

Mithraism : Every year at first minute of December 25th the temple of Mithras was lit with candles, priests in in white garments celebrated the birth of the Son of God and boys burned incense. Mithras was born in a cave, on December 25th, of a virgin mother. He came from heaven to be born as a man, to redeem men from their sin. He was know as "Savior," "Son of God," "Redeemer," and "Lamb of God." With twelve disciples he traveled far and wide as a teacher and illuminator of men. He was buried in a tomb from which he rose again from the dead -- an event celebrated yearly with much rejoicing. His followers kept the Sabbath holy, holding sacramental feasts in remembrance of Him. The sacred meal of bread and water, or bread and wine, was symbolic of the body and blood of the sacred bull.

Sound familiar? Hundreds of years before Jesus.[/quote]

That doesn't mean that Jesus was not true.  Some people think that the devil planted those ancient stories to confuse people later on about the real Messiah.  Like the dinosaur bones that were placed by the devil to confuse people about evolution.  But plenty of christians believe in Jesus AND evolution with no problem whatsoever. [/quote]

None of the stories the pp before you quotes actually bear any resemblance to the story of Jesus.  Mithras was born from a rock.  Attis was born from a woman who ate genitalia in the form of fruit and then cut off his own genitalia and died.  I don't even know what pp is referring to regarding zoroasterianism.  Ridiculous.[/quote]
