In this clip they talked about how much Christianity resembled this pagan religion and how it ended up being influenced by it. Here are some of Mithras’s claims to modern Christianity:

1. Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th in a cave, and his birth was attended by shepherds.
2. He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
3. He had 12 companions or disciples.
4. Mithra’s followers were promised immortality.
5. He performed miracles.
6. As the “great bull of the Sun,” Mithra sacrificed himself for world peace.
7. He was buried in a tomb and after three days rose again.
8. His resurrection was celebrated every year.
9. He was called “the Good Shepherd” and identified with both the Lamb and the Lion.
10. He was considered the “Way, the Truth and the Light,” and the “Logos,” “Redeemer,” “Savior” and “Messiah.”
11. His sacred day was Sunday, the “Lord’s Day,” hundreds of years before the appearance of Christ.
12. Mithra had his principal festival of what was later to become Easter.
13. His religion had a eucharist or “Lord’s Supper,” at which Mithra said, “He who shall not eat of my body nor drink of my blood so that he may be one with me and I with him, shall not be saved.”
14. “His annual sacrifice is the passover of the Magi, a symbolical atonement or pledge of moral and physical regeneration.”
15. Shmuel Golding is quoted as saying that 1 Cor. 10:4 is “identical words to those found in the Mithraic scriptures, except that the name Mithra is used instead of Christ.”
16. The Catholic Encyclopedia is quoted as saying that Mithraic services were conduced by “fathers” and that the “chief of the fathers, a sort of pope, who always lived at Rome, was called ‘Pater Patratus.’”

Mythraism was derived from Persian Zoroastrianism. Christianity already existed outside of Mythraism, however it was St. Paul who combined the two scripturally adding a Messiac theme from Judaism. Mythraism and Christianity became politically (by that I mean officially) merged by Emperor Constantine. Along the way, the symbol of its eucharists were taken from the Egyptian phallic symbol, the cross, which also manifested itself throught the Ankh (☥). Source [Link]

Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was…He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors, and bowling…And he was an avid bowler. And a good friend. He died — he died as so many of his generation, before his time. In your wisdom you took him, Lord. As you took so many birght flowering young men, at Khe San and Lan Doc and Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And Donny too. Donny…who…who loved bowling…

The name of Michigan bowler who died was Don…short for Donny.
