> The Dionysian, Orphic, and Attis cults... Did they eat bread as the flesh of god and drink wine as his blood, believing that these would bring them passage in after life? I once did a paper on Dionysis and do not remember such a thing. Orpheus, Attis,and Oriris - yes. Dionysius - they drank wine (to intoxication) and ate flesh, often flesh they'd torn from animals. I mistrust the reliability of sites like positiveatheism or "keep christ out of xmas". The Vexen site is interesting. Hard to separate his opinions from what can actually be proven historically.
