"Jesus" is an amalgamation of other figures
Mithras (like Maitri = Maitreya = Messiah)
Why is "Jesus Christ" so famous? Could it be that it's because he is unreal and an amalgamation of many historical (and mythological) figures? Who would those be?
Mithras (previously worshiped in the center of Rome in a place now dedicated to Jesus called the Vatican grounds, a tiny country officially called the Holy See, a city-state within Italy's Rome, now center of the Holy Roman Empire known as the Catholic Church),
Hermaphrodites...& Jesus
Maitreya Buddha (or the "Messiah" to come), Horus, and
many other astrotheological figures, who are anthropomorphic projections of astronomical and astrological information.
Jesus has been propped up, made white (a kind Thor, Zeus, Odic Nordic war god), and given stories and associated with circumstances made famous by others.
The story of Jesus Christ [christ being a drug term, according to biologist and classicist Dr. David C. Ammon Hillman, Ph.D., author of Chemical Muse, as a means "anointing" or dabbing on drugs to penetrate cut skin] has many fascinating similarities with ancient mythological figures, revealing common themes of a "virgin birth," resurrection (rebirth, reappearance), divine parentage, and savior or messianic roles.
The ancients used many drugs
These parallels, evident in mythologies from ancient Egypt to Greece and beyond, underscore a universal human fascination with divine narratives. Studying figures like Horus, Mithras, Dionysus, Krishna, the Buddha, and Osiris enriches understanding of Jesus’s [phony, synthetic] narrative within global mythology.
Scholar of Christianity Dr. Reza Aslan made a very clear distinction in his book. Zealot, about two different figures -- Jesus Christ of history and Jesus Christ of popular fantasy (biased theology, apology, and soteriology). Dr. Aslan attempted to get at the historical figure and leave aside all the myths built up on purpose (by the Church) and by natural human speculation about who this godman figure could have or might have been.
