There are several stories of dying and coming back, either through one's own power or that of another. Hercules rescues Alcestis from Hades, Dionysus gets chopped up and reassembled, etc. So coming back from the dead is an old story.
Doing it as sacrifice for humanity is unique in Christianity, as far as I know.
Wrong. For instance, the Sun god was considered the "Savior of the World," as it rose and brought light and life to the planet. It was revered for causing seeds to burst and thus giving its life for plants to grow.
Might help to provide references to primary sources just so we're clear first on what they actually say, rather than what certain people with an agenda claim they say.
Sun god is so generic and vague, by the way. What sun god are we talking about specifically?
