I’d like to start out by saying that religion has kept us divided and separated as a global community for thousands of years.
In my opinion, ALL religious texts should be four words long:
“Love everyone.
Respect everything.”
When you look at religion, it all boils down to subservience, control, and conformity, the same template as EVERY government.
Coincidence?
Hardly not…
When I was a child, I truly wanted to believe the Jesus story.
Because I was so inquisitive, I almost got kicked out of Sunday school for asking too many questions which disrupted the class.
Unfortunately, I never felt like I got the answers I was looking for.
Additionally, every time I walk into a church, I get a feeling of the “heebbie jeebies”.
You know that feeling… when something isn’t right.
As I grew older, I continued to question everything, including religion.
As it turns out, my suspicions about religion were true.
For example, the bible starts out with Genesis saying that Adam and Eve were the first creations of man and woman.
There are four different blood types:
- A
- B
- AB
- O
and two different Rh values (+ and -).
It’s impossible to have four different blood types and two different Rh values from two people, so the bible starts out with a lie.
The 10 Commandments from Moses were literally stolen and reworded from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which has over 40 commandments.
One fascinating aspect of the bible is that it was written in perfect astro-theological order.
The Golden Calf introduced the Age of Taurus, the blowing of the ram’s horn introduced the Age of Aries, the Age of Pisces occurred when Jesus fed the masses with two fish, and when it was written in Luke,
“Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.”
it introduced our current age, the Age of Aquarius.
Even the 12 Disciples in the Last Supper are broken into segments of 3, with each representing the months and seasons.
But what about Jesus?
We’ve all heard the saying:
“Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.”
What if the Jesus story is the regurgitation of the same story of thousands of years BEFORE Jesus?
The following is an excerpt from MITHRAS = CHRISTIANITY?
This religion, cloaked in mystery and secrecy, has captivated the imaginations of scholars for generations.
Many facts discovered sheds vital light on the cultural dynamics that led to the rise of Christianity.
The National Geographic Society’s book “Great Religions of the World,” page 309 writes:
“By Jesus’ time, East and West had mingled here for three centuries.
Down columns of boulevards walked Roman soldiers loyal to the Persian god Mithras.”
Mithra was a Persian deity.
He was also the most widely venerated god in the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus.

The Catholic Encyclopedia as well as the early Church Fathers found this religion of Mithras very disturbing, as there are so many similarities between the two religions, as follows:
1. Hundreds of years before Jesus, according to the Mithraic religion, three Wise Men of Persia came to visit the baby savior-god Mithra, bring him gifts of:
- gold
- myrrh
- frankincense
2. Mithra was born on December 25 as told in the “Great Religions of the World”, page 330:
“…it was the winter solstice celebrated by ancients as the birthday of Mithraism’s sun god.”

3. According to Mithraism, before Mithra died on a cross, he celebrated a “Last Supper” with his twelve disciples, who represented the twelve signs of the zodiac.
4. After the death of Mithra, his body was laid to rest in a rock tomb.
5. Mithra had a celibate priesthood.
6. Mithra ascended into heaven during the spring (Passover) equinox (the time when the sun crosses the equator making night and day of equal length).
As you can now see, Christianity derived many of its essential elements from the ancient religion of Mithraism.
Mithraism became intertwined with the cult of Jesus to form what is known today as “Christianity.”
We often hear about how many of the:
- traditions
- rites
- symbols
of modern day “Christian” holidays have their roots in paganism.
Have you ever wondered why December 25th was chosen to celebrate the birth of Jesus?
Could it only be a consequence that ancient paganism and the story of Mithras’ birth coincides with the Yule/Christmas season?
If the accounts in the Bible are correct, the time of Jesus birth would have been closer to mid-summer, for this is when shepherds would have been:
“Tending their flocks in the field.”
and the new lambs were born.
Strange enough, the ancient pagan religion, Mithraism, which dates back over 4,000 years, also celebrated the birth of their “savior” on December 25th.
Franz Cumont, who is consider by many to be the leading research authority on Roman Paganism, explained the ancient religion called Mithraism.
Then Mithra returned to the earth to teach humanity His commandments and begin Mysteries and Rites which would help humans remember His acts on our behalf.
Because of His actions, we can choose good without the overwhelming power of evil, even though evil’s influence can still seem powerful because our minds believe it is.
Because of His teachings, we know that the purpose of our lives is to serve others in the name of Mithra.
The followers refer to Him as the:
“Light of the World”
a phrase often used also in Christian faith when referring to Jesus.
This son of a god born of a virgin, was so commonly spread in those days that Philo of Alexandria (30 BCE – 45 CE), warned against this widespread superstitious belief in unions between male gods and human females.
The offspring are known as demigods.
Tammuz, who was incorporated also into Attis and Mithra, and they stood model for the story in the NT, because they were deities who all are supposed to have died and resurrected.
Tammuz was always called Adon, meaning Lord.
(the Greek Adonis, was based on him).
Actually, all these deities were based on the first deity to have died and resurrected, the Egyptian deity Osiris.
So, there is absolutely nothing unique about Jesus.
In fact, he is copyright due to Osiris.
Of the following (semi) deities, legends went around that they were born of a virgin:
- Augustus (his father was the god Apollo)
- Agdistis
- Attis
- Adonis
- Buddha
- Dionysus
- Korybas
- Krishna
- Mithra
- Osirus
- Perseus
- Romulus and Remus
- Tammuz
- Zoroaster
- Jesus
So, basically, all the pagan religions were alike, including Christianity.
It just happens that one of them got the ascendancy, and became the most powerful, and did its best to wipe out all the others.
In addition to a lack of historical support, many characteristics of Jesus, which Christians today believe in, are undeniably similar or identical to religious trends and beliefs that preceded Christianity.
There are tens of accounts of pagan gods of many different cultures who were said to have the same attributes as those that Christians claim Jesus had.
A brief review of some of these may lead to some interesting questions concerning the originality of the Christian claim:

So, here we have listed 8 different Lords/Gods/Saviors/Deities/Messiahs who preceded Jesus.
How many times will we continue to be gullible enough to believe the same story OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again?
Sometimes, it feels like I’m the only one who gets this… besides the author of MITHRA = CHRISTIANITY? and a handful of other people.
We WANT to believe in the Jesus story but like the bible, it’s the:
“Greatest STORY ever told.”
When you dissect it even further, you find out that Jesus was created at the Council of Nicia in 325 AD, when Constantine brought together all of the leaders of the Yeshua ben Yosef cults to agree on one main deity, to which they added the mythological abilities of:
- Horus
- Osiris
- Mithra
to create Ieosus Christos, which eventually became Jesus Christ.

The Fictitious Jesus – Library of Rickandria
If a UFO were to land in your backyard, there are two things the extraterrestrial would NOT have: Money and a Bible.
If you still want to believe in Jesus, then perhaps you should live by his words?
The following is an excerpt from the article:
The Jesus Factor: How Many Christians Will TRULY Follow the Words of Jesus? – Library of Rickandria
If you truly want to follow the words of Jesus, then how many Christians are willing to do the following?
Matthew 19:21 New International Version (NIV)
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me.”
So, how many Christians are following Jesus’ words?:
ZERO that I know of.
I don’t know and haven’t heard of one single Christian or follower of Jesus who is willing to do this.
Ouch!
Jesus is not pleased.
Perhaps it’s only convenient to follow some of his words and not all of them…?
People have waited millennia for the other deities to return.
Gods & Religions on Planet Earth – Library of Rickandria
None of them have, so why would anyone expect Jesus to be any different?
Humanity is heading to a place that does not have:
- religion
- money
- government
It’s time to move beyond those horrendous forms of control that have plagued humanity for millennia.
Try asking a Hopi Indian who has not converted to Christianity if he or she believes in Jesus.
His or her answer will be,
“WE are the ones we have been waiting for.”
I totally agree, 100%.
