The New Testament stole most of its stories from other ancient sources.” The Truth: These claims gained a lot of popularity thanks to the 2007 propaganda film “ Zeitgeist Horus His mother (Isis) wasn’t a virgin. Isis married her brother (Osiris) and conceived Horus with him. There’s no historical reference to a “star in the east,” or to Horus “walking on water.” Those are simply made up. Horus was never crucified or resurrected. Actually, he never even died! The story is that he “merged” with the sun god, Ra. Mithra By most accounts, Mithra was born in either September or October. There’s no historical account of Mithra having twelve disciples. That part is also made up. Mithra wasn’t said to have been born of a virgin, but rather out of solid rock. There’s no known record of a resurrection (or even of him having died). Krishna Krishna was from the royal family Mathura, and was the 8th son of Devaki and her husband Vasudeva. There is no mention of a “star in the east” or a resurrection in the literature. There are some references to him performing miracles, but that’s about it… Dionysus He wasn’t born of a virgin. His mother was Semele (a mortal), and his father was Zeus. Dionysus died each winter and was resurrected in the spring. No mention of December 25. There are plenty of references to Dionysus turning water into wine…but he was, after all, the Greek god of wine. wellspentjourney.wordpress.com
