And what about Mithra? His festivals competed with Christian festivals in the time of (Saint to be ) Augustine? He was crucified, and rose from the dead. So proclaimed many many witnesses. All 500 years (!) before Jesus' time. They even had blood self-flagellation ceremonies, much like the Shiites!

At first, Augustine deferred on his mother's wishes that he become a Christian. He observed both the festivals of Mithra and Christian holy days then competing in Rome, and declared the Christian religion much the lesser.
