Once again, I have only one thing to say about irrelevant, stupid people:

mithras (who was the legend the Christians ripped off to create Jesus, for the record) brings the love.

...who was the legend the Christians ripped off to create Jesus...

One of. Also Bacchus. Also Hermes. Also Osirus.

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Quite a few, really, including twisting some prophecies from Jewish myth. Mithras just happens to be the famous god with the 'same birthday'.

[drjon.livejournal.com]

I believe Bacchus also shares that birthday.

Mithras just happens to be, specifically, the God who is ritually murdered, stays dead for several days, then returns to life.

He's Angry Jesus. Hell, read the Chronicles Of Narnia - Aslan the war-god is a *perfect* representation of Mithras. Not so much Christ, but what can you expect from an Anglican?

Osiris?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Mithras was the one *popular in the area where they added that myth to Jesus*.

Egypt isn't exactly on the other side of the map in relation to Bethlehem, is it?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

The resurrection wasn't part of the original myth.

[eididdy.livejournal.com]

Which resurrection?

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

Again, Mithras ain't exactly unique in that category. I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm just saying that Jesus was stolen from quite a few myths, not just Mithras.

...I never thought of that. Heheh. Without the bull-slaying, mind.

Personally I prefer the incredibly arrogant Mithras the 4th generation Ventrue. But hey.

Found this via friends of friends of friends. May I repost (and credit mithras)?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I never mind if you repost things. And I suspect he doesn't, either.

I don't quite get it; please enlighten me. (or, "I can't brain today, I has the stupid.)

Sarah Palin (and half the speakers at the RNC) said that Obama's time as a community organizer doesn't count for anything at all, because it doesn't come with "real responsibilities".

[falconwarrior.livejournal.com]

Ah! Well, that explains everything. Heh.

They also laughed whenever the words "community organizer" were spoken.

I seriously had no idea wanting to change the world for the better was a joke.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_jeremiad/]

Yes.

Love this.

Oh, snap.

Small Town Mayor

A remarkable corrupt small-town mayor who created 22 million in new debt, at that!
