Meaning the religion maybe older than dirt but the text that claims similar orgins to christianity was written 1300 years after Christianity...
Mithraism was a "mystery cult," you dumb fuck. It did not have 'holy books.'
Asshole.
It's called google minnie, It's kinda like an instant version of an encyopedia. If you wanted to look up something like "Mythra Holy Books" you just type it in and google believe it or not searches all of the inter webs and pulls all relevent pages for you and compiles them into a list.
for instance: a simple "Google" search tells us that Mythra is apart of the patheon of the Parsees, or Zoroastrians.
And we learn that the Parsees, or Zoroastrians did indeed have a several holy books in fact that describe what is known of mythra and the rest of those gods. But, again those books only date back to the 13th century.
Again minnie its call google. I think if you learn to use it, it MAY Help you from saying stoo-pid stuff.
But probably not.

so?
