The Persian God Mithra, popular in 600 BC, was the son of the Sun God and was born on December 25. Mithra performed miracles, died, and was resurrected on the third day. Mithra was also called "the good shepherd" and had twelve companions that went with him when he traveled and taught. In 1000BC people thought the God Krishna was a carpenter born of a virgin and was baptized in a river. In 1200BC according to the Egyptian Book of the Dead the God Horus was the son of the God Osiris and was born to a virgin mother (even back then contradictions never bothered religion). Horus was baptized and the baptizer was later beheaded. Horus was tempted in the desert. Horus healed the sick and the blind. Horus cast out daemons. Horus raised a fellow named "Asar" from the dead. Horus walked on water. Horus had 12 disciples. Horus was affixed to a cross and killed but after 3 days 2 women announced that "Horus our savior has been resurrected". * *John K Clark* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
