Resurrection of Jesus vs. Mithras: Exploring the Copycat Claim
Skeptics often claim that the resurrection of Jesus is similar to the mythical figure Mithras. However, there are significant differences between the two. Mithras was believed to be born out of solid rock on December 25th, while Jesus was a virgin-born child. There is no evidence that Mithras had disciples, sacrificed himself for peace, or was called Good Shepherd or Messiah. Any similarities could be a result of Mithraic believers copying Christians, rather than the other way around.
