    Zeitgeist comes to my mind also, there is very little substance to it. For example in the case of Mithra, they made a comparison that said that Mithra was born of a virgin. Infact, Mithra was according to the account born as a fully grown man from a rock. Hardly a valid point of comparison. I suggest the same type of disingenuous twisting of the facts is involved in this case.

    Please allay these fears and provide solid points of comparison rather than names.

    When I'm done handwalking my colicking horse every half hour and can feel my fingers again, I'll delve into the whole thing further. But anyways, short version. Osiris got hacked to pieces and dumped in a river, Isis pieced him back together which the exception of his balls as she couldn't find them, they had a kid afterwards, Osiris now guards the 'underworld' as a benevolent leader. The first "OH MY GOD WE GO SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN A HOLE IN THE GROUND" myth type thing.

    Ye gods, I really am a nerd aren't I. Wait, don't answer that :pac:.

    eta: I wish I had a rock for a parent. Rock's don't yell at one for 'tracking mud in on the nice clean floor, skywards!'
