We see models of both the birth and the death of Jesus in earlier religions because they are both based on astronomical/astrological phenomenon that can be seen around the world.
During the first century, the world was under the Julian calendar., which placed the winter solstice on December 25. That’s why we see so many messiah gods around the world born on that date. During the three days of the winter solstice (December 22-25 under the current Gregorian calendar) the sun appears to stand still (dies) at 23 degrees/27 minutes from the south pole (under the Earth). After three days the sun appears to rise as the revolution of the Earth turns the Northern hemisphere back towards the sun. At this time the constellation Virgo (not the sign Virgo) is at its brightest and the sun appears to be born of a virgin.
I found a picture of the constellation Virgo and put it in juxtaposition to a picture of the Egyptian nativity scene. The similarity is so striking that it’s clear where the story came from.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nietzsche isn't dead. How do I know he lives? He lives in my mind.
