But, yes, I did question my beliefs at the beginning, and would do so now if I saw a good argument. For example, I was concerned way back when someone gave a list of supposed parallels between Bacchus and Jesus. When I researched it, I found it was BS. When pretty much the same list came out regarding Mithra, I figured it was bunk too, and it was. I yawned more recently when it was changed to Osiris.
Very appropriate reaction. That's some grade-Z scholarship conspiracy theory level connection-seeking; glad you saw through it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
