God you suck at debating.
And when all else fails, personal attack. Indeed, you know how to debate dilly.
You make no sense. First you say ,like I,, that to get the true history you need all sides of the story. But then ,,you say there is no such thing of Victorious vs Non-victorious only evidence...?? What??
Nice try, but is not going to work. But to answer your question evidence is that counts. And so far the "Copycat" theory is plain wrong.
You do know the existing evidence (that is so easily available,,most of it) is mostly from the powers that be. Not the entity or person who lost the struggle(the non-victorious).
That depends of what you called evidence.
I did provide a source,read my previous posts. But my sources are books not internet sites. That's probably why it didn't interest you.
Actually, you haven´t provided any source at all. Not even a reference to the books, which you citing from. So yes, so far you presented not a shred of evidence. Only personal attacks and opinions.
Thanks for the definition of copycat theory. But I could care less (about) if paganism has or not influenced Constantine's jesus.
See, that is the difference between us. You accepting things without looking at the evidence.
Its all faith. Pointless faith.
If you say so....
So who cares if Dionysus or the others fused together with Christianism.
Obviously, persons that have a true interest.
My point is true history has been suppressed,burned and raped by the victor.
Then i suppose the "Holocaust" didn´t happened? Or the "Armenian Genocide" or the "Crusades" or the other atrocities?
So you nor no one has a clue what really happened.
Due time, we all going to know the truth eventually.
Yes I know animals,,lol,,,(tigers and lions),,,but what does that have anything to do with this topic.? Are
you a PETA agent?lol
It was the answer to your question :" What are you afraid of?" on you first reply to my post.
Peace

Off course it is... Let me see ,,, the bible talks about pretty much everything(depending how one's reading it) then people(mostly jewish) decide to propagandare the bible as prophetic. How convenient. Do you see why you're doing a poor job expressing whatever that is.

Funny, I see refrence to this every year.
Here is my take on it.
It doesnt matter what it used to be, it's what it is today. We all realise that pretty much any and every holiday is taken from something else. Christian holidays share many other holidays. Many christian holidays took the place of some holidays.
And today it is evolving and changing - - as it should. One religion can no longer usurp all others during times of festivals - - that were basically stolen. Awareness is causing the correction.

God doesn't need to change or evolve....His salvation for mankind remains as steadfast as it did before He created man.
Awareness that God and Jesus do exist is what will cause the correction of mankind...in time.
"In time" ?? What the hell does that mean. In your time,your grandchildren's time, your great great great grandchildren's time????? You have no clue do you ,, so you vaguely say "in time" just to have an imaginary advantage over the other. As if your wearing a special Rolex.lol .When in reality there is no such time. Unless you're on the 2012 doomsday band wagon. Which I think you are. If not you wouldn't have said "in time".... Ride that mayan wave You see how ridiculous you people sound.

I think you make presumptions ..and that is ridiculous.
I am not on a 2012 doomsday prophecy..but in time ..every knee will bow and confess Jesus as Lord and savior.
I will promise you this.. I won't ever say "I told you so"

I only have to look at the life of Padre Pio and other saints to know that Jesus is still very much alive.. and has proved it over and over again.
It is claimed that no more than Anecdotal evidence supports Pio’s alleged mystical abilities, some of his bilocations are consistent with hallucinations and the supposed odor of sanctity was purported to be Eau de Cologne. He was never watched continuously to ensure that chemicals like carbolic acid or iodine were not used to prevent wounds healing, as has been claimed. Pio over many years wore fingerless gloves which concealed his wounds or prevented him having to tend the wounds, yet near his death Pio avoided covering his hands and there was no sign of injury.[15][16][17] The founder of Milan's Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, friar, physician and psychologist Agostino Gemelli, concluded Padre Pio was "an ignorant and self-mutilating psychopath who exploited people's credulity."[18] In short, he was accused of infractions against all three of his monastic vows: poverty, chastity and obedience.[19] Agostino Gemelli also speculated that Padre Pio kept his wounds open with carbolic acid. As a result of the Gemelli assessment, the wounds were wrapped in cloth. Despite this, the bleeding continued for some 50 years until they closed within hours of his death.[19]
Historian Sergio Luzzatto and others, both religious and non-religious, have accused Padre Pio of faking his stigmata. Luzzatto's theory, namely that Padre Pio used carbolic acid to self-inflict the wounds, is based on a document found in the Vatican's archive — the testimony of a pharmacist at the San Giovanni Rotondo, Maria De Vito, from whom he ordered 4 grams of the acid. According to De Vito, Padre Pio asked her to keep the order secret, saying it was to sterilise needles. The document was examined but dismissed by the Catholic Church during Padre Pio's beatification process.[43]
One commentator expressed the belief that the Church likely dismissed the claims based on witnesses that stated the acid was in fact used for sterilization: "The boys had needed injections to fight the Spanish Flu which was raging at that time. Due to a shortage of doctors, Padres Paolino and Pio administered the shots, using carbolic acid as a sterilizing agent.”[43][44]

Fr. Gabriele Amorth, senior exorcist of Vatican City stated in an interview that Padre Pio was able to distinguish between real apparitions of Jesus, Mary and the Saints and the illusions created by the Devil by carefully analysing the state of his mind and the feelings produced in him during the apparitions. In one of Padre Pio's letters, he states that he remained patient in the midst of his trials because of his firm belief that Jesus, Mary, his Guardian Angel, St. Joseph and St. Francis were always with him and helped him always.[12]
By 1933, the tide began to turn, with Pope Pius XI ordering the Holy See to reverse its ban on Padre Pio’s public celebration of Mass. The Pope said, "I have not been badly disposed toward Padre Pio, but I have been badly informed.
[9] In 1934, he was again allowed to hear confessions. He was also given honorary permission to preach despite never having taken the exam for the preaching licence.
[9] Pope Pius XII, who assumed the papacy in 1939, encouraged devotees to visit Padre Pio. According to a recent book, Pope John XXIII (1958–1963) apparently did not espouse the outlook of his predecessors, and wrote in 1960 of Padre Pio’s “immense deception.
"[23] However, it was John XXIII's successor, Pope Paul VI, who, in the mid-1960s, firmly dismissed all accusations against Padre Pio.[19][21]
