The whole nativity thing is TOTALLY made up anyway! Who cares?

The myth of christ and that whole birth story has been done and done and done. Same formula, 8000 years before.

Look up Horus, Mithra and Osiris.... same deal, different languages.

It's all BS.

Writer Writer, stop regurgitating what other people have said on the net. Do some of your own research or don't say anything at all. The characteristics of Mithra that you are referring to came about after Christianity had already become established within the Judea and started spreading throughout the Roman Empire. Mithraism arrived into Roman territories through Roman solider returning from what is modern day Iran after christianity had arose. The Roman converts changed Mithraism in an attempt to compete with Christianity not the other way around.

Horus and Osiris conspiracy theories are also based on liberal interpretation. People like to find patterns or associations where there are none. Google is your friend or better yet, visit a library.

Ari...Mithraism predated Christianity. It was originally a Persian religion. And...wait...wtf...Horus conspiracy theory?...what the hell are you talking about?...Jesus...there's no point...YES! A the son of a carpenter who was really his own father died on a piece of wood, to convince himself not to punish us for sin. Which in turn was created when a talking snake convinced a magic rib woman to eat from a tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then this guy who was his own father, rose and flew into the sky to sit on the right hand of himself, who was on the right hand of himself, who sat on the left hand of himself, who, okay...you know! Yeah...makes perfect sense. lol. Horus conspiracy theory... *laughing out loud into the sunset.

Anonymous, Iran is the modern day name for Persia. I believe stated that Mithraism came from Iran originally but I also said that the Roman version of it popular among Roman soliders did not exists before Christianity. I'm afraid that you are confusing the two branches of it. The Iranian version did not include any of the elements pundits refer to as being similar to Christianity.

Seriously, Google it or visit a library unless you are afraid to learn something which might contradict your current world view.

Horus "conspiracy theory"?

If anything is a conspiracy it is modern "religion" foisting crap upon people and then threatening them when they don't conform.

Too funny! So Lucy & Charlie Brown...erm, Lucy and the supreme being got together and had a...woodstock?? And edible jesus thread is hysterical!

Great!! Thanks

Writer Writer, in case you weren't aware of it, few people are more annoying or appear even less intelligent than a religious zealot. Anti-religious zealots would be among those. Believe what you like, allow others the same privilege. You know how you feel when Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses knock on your door? Well that's the way you look every time you start calling people names because they don't believe the way you do. Perhaps your time would be better spent at the library, researching ways to disprove others' beliefs instead of just regurgitating crap that you think will offend everyone and then, somehow enlighten them.

WTF happened there?

Poot and Ari,

May I direct you both to the very educated senior biologist, Dr. Richard Dawkins and to the very, very well-read, brilliant and well-spoken writer, Christopher Hitchens, both of whom are far more brilliant than I, better educated than anyone posting here, I suspect, and both published on the subject of religion.

Also, may I point out that personal attacks, which you have both engaged in, reveal the tenacious nature of the attacker's argument, but do not dilute the point made by the person being attacked.

WriterWriter, "First there was nothing. Then it exploded."

May I also direct you towards equally, if not more so, eminent scientists such as:

Sir Isaac Newton
Michael Faraday
Baron Kelvin
Professor Sir John Polkinghorne
Professor John Lennox
Professor Pauline Rudd
Professor Stuart Burgess

And that's just a taster. Now please stop trying to force your atheistic beliefs on everybody else and leave them in peace, when all this post was originally about were poor nativity scenes available today.
