Explain it to Justin Martyr writing in the First Aplogy c 160 AD.
Quote:that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, "This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;" and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, "This is My blood;" and gave it to them alone. Which the wicked devils have imitated in the mysteries of Mithras, commanding the same thing to be done. For, that bread and a cup of water are placed with certain incantations in the mystic rites of one who is being initiated, you either know or can learn.
Except we have Plutarch telling us that Pompey's legions ran into Mithraism in the early first century BC during his campaign in the East and confirmed by Servilius showing that your godboy was johnny-come-lately to the big godfest going on.
If we had two such independent sources...or one even! .... for your jesus shit we would not have half the arguments we do.
