Dr. Sophronius,
Thinking of you at the vernal holidays. I've recently come across
references to the "pagan Christs," which trace the origins of details of
the Christian myth to their pagan origins.
Apparently this history so troubled early Christian leaders, that they
decided Satan must have inspired these myths long before Christ, just to
discredit Him when He did arrive.
Naturally I have a view more favorable toward the pagans, but I wonder
what you will make of it from the vantage of your unitarian skepticism.
