Born to a virgin, healed the sick, died on the cross.








I guess Jesus just had better PR.



Any other "Christs" that NSG knows about?

Seen it, but it didn't set well with me. It seemed like a lot of half-truths and misinformation to me.


that and it annoyed me how I didn't see any connection to them starting off talking about religion and then switching to a huge bank conspiracy...if there was one I missed it.

Apollonius? Apollonius of Perga, the famous Greek mathmatician? Or Apollonius of Tyana, the pythagoran philosopher? Neither of them were born of virgins, nor were they crucified...

You may have meant Apollo (Apulu, Greek), but he was never crucified, nor born of a virgin... He was born of Zeus and the Titan, Leto...

This more closely resembles Attis, a local diety of Phyrgia... But he was also not "crucified"; he was reborn as a pine tree after his death...

Too bad they didn't check their facts.

Who needs facts when you have a title most people don't even know how to pronounce? They will just assume you know what you are talking about.

The sad part is that if I didn't know a thing or two about Horus, I wouldn't have bothered to check them either :(

You get a cookie ^_^

I will have to watch the episode again to see if they clarify which apollonius.






I do agree though.......it does have a nice ring to it.
