(For the lulz if not for balance, check out the best that the Tektonics Apologetics Ministry has come up with in 'refutation'.)
Quote:The majority of these beliefs only came into existence after the persecution by Nero and the tragedy of 70 C.E. Many of these beliefs are based on the pagan legends about the gods Tammuz, Osiris, Attis, Dionysus and the sun god Mithras
What happened in 70 C.E.?
