This is good.@Bacsi
"The Jesus of Christianities is a direct replacement of the Sun-god, therefore he's worshipped on Sun-days."
Good video. I am afraid that both the atheists and Christians have been focusing on a strawman though, which is that these ancient deities all had a similar story. There is no mention of Jesus truly being a Solar God, which can be seen easily in the verses of the Bible. The number 12 for example, represents the Zodiac with the Sun (Jesus) in the center.@Bacsi

We live in the age of Wikipedia and YouTube misinformation. A lie being debunked by another lie. How wonderful.@Bacsi

The video did a good job showing the lack of similarities between these pagan gods and Jesus-- but to call Him the latest incarnation, I have to ask -- who made the 'zodiac' as we see it, in the first place?Good video.

There are many similarities between Solar caracteristics and Jesus that are too numerous to mention here, I recommend reading this:

The basic principle is that a lot of these pagan deities ended their lives by ascending to Heaven. They all existed and Jesus was simply the latest incarnation of the Solar Logos, which I think is what Bacsi meant to say.
In what way have you demonstrated that the claims of Zeitgeist were not effectively addressed? Did I miss something?!We live in the age of Wikipedia and YouTube misinformation. A lie being debunked by another lie. How wonderful.
Archaeology, historiography, textual criticism etc. etc. are for old-school losers?

Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the attractions of Kesil dost thou open? YLT
The modern version renders...
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loosen the belt of Orion?
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
or lead out the Bear and her cubs? [Ursa]
Do you know the laws of the heavens?
JOB 38:31-33
Zeitgeist is full of misinformation. It's an epitome of our modern age of uneducated people loaded with random "facts".In what way have you demonstrated that the claims of Zeitgeist were not effectively addressed? Did I miss something?!
The illuminati?Related - who changed Passover to Easter?
The discovery of the Zodiac is much older than Christianity though.The video did a good job showing the lack of similarities between these pagan gods and Jesus-- but to call Him the latest incarnation, I have to ask -- who made the 'zodiac' as we see it, in the first place?

Even Christian historians admit that the cult of Sol Invictus (the invisible Sun) was at its height during appearance of Christianity and it greatly influenced Christian doctrines and liturgy.The discovery of the Zodiac is much older than Christianity though.
I highly recommend reading the info at the link I posted. It explains things like why we celebrate Christmas on December 25th, which was the date of the winter solstice for the Romans. It's the period of time where days start to get longer, so the light of the Sun becomes more prevalent. Basically Christmas is about Osiris more than Jesus, as we set up pine trees, which are symbols of the greenness of Osiris being a God of fertility.
I think it is fairly common to confuse the pagan things Catholicism mixed with Christianity, many of which go back to Nimrod and Babel with the idea that Christianity borrowed them. If you think this through a bit further it becomes clearer what occurred.The discovery of the Zodiac is much older than Christianity though.

If you are of European descent (I am partially), then the majority of our great ancestors were pagans. Pagans were extremely wise and knowledgeable people, unlike what is pictured by the modern Judeo-Christian version of history. If you read the works of the early church fathers arguing with pagans, it's very evident that the pagans were highly moral and well educated, sincerely and honestly thinking people. No wander 80% of Christianity is pagan religion."Or some impracticalities - for example, total ceasing of any work every 7th day. In the warm climate of Levant for a pastoral people group it's very possible, where rain was crucial. In much more rigid climate and more labour-intensive agriculture of Europe, it wasn't feasible. Two seasons a year it was impossible to break work for a day in the fields - sowing and harvesting."
Pagans-- slaves to the weather, rather than the one Who controls it, along with the yield. So simple, yet it eludes.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...

Interesting. Do you ever consider the various parallels that have taken place through history and wondered what spiritual forces may have lay behind them?Even Christian historians admit that the cult of Sol Invictus (the invisible Sun) was at its height during appearance of Christianity and it greatly influenced Christian doctrines and liturgy.
True but let me ask you, who was able to spread Christianity as widely as the RCC? Without the Romans I doubt that it would have gone very far.I think it is fairly common to confuse the pagan things Catholicism mixed with Christianity, many of which go back to Nimrod and Babel with the idea that Christianity borrowed them.

I guess we will never know. Romans 8:28 reveals something about the nature of God though:True but let me ask you, who was able to spread Christianity as widely as the RCC? Without the Romans I doubt that it would have gone very far.
