If you are among the approximately 32 percent of the world population that considers themselves Christian, you were probably raised to believe that the Bible was written in some sort of historical vacuum—the various authors being inspired by God alone and having no outside influences whatsoever.
Whoever wrote that is so ignorant that their entire argument can safely be dismissed. It would literally be impossible for a human author to have no worldly influence. That's the entire point of using human authors--they speak the language of their societies.

During the 3rd century CE, Mithraism and Christianity were the main competitors for the religious affiliation the citizens of Romans. Some Christian practices might have actually been picked up by the Mithraites, rather than vice-versa.
Mithraism was founded in 80 AD. Approximately five decades after Christianity.

There are a thousand sources discussing this topic all over the internet.
There are also a thousand sources claiming Obama was born in Kenya. So I assume, in order to be consistent, that you're going to join the birthers?
The "Jesus=Horus/Mithra/etc" trash has been thoroughly debunked several times on this board.

I usually dont like embarrassing people like this, but Im just really sick of your ignorant, lying bull shite. You're a disgrace to rational debate.

If God allows flawed human perception into his official holy book of record, I question that God's foresight.

And? Some of christianity's current doctrines didnt arise until over a thousand years after Christ. Moreover, the time origin of either makes no statement regarding shared practice.

Agreed, for the most part. Ive defended christianity against such accusations in the past here.
There is no denying however that much of the imagery and practices, especially in the catholic church, are pulled straight from the Roman pagan practices of the first and second centuries. And a huge portion of the OT was written after the Babylonian exile, where the Hebrews borrowed extensively from Babylonian legends. The great flood is literally ripped straight out of Babylon.
