This is by Ceisiwr Serith - btw he is a pagan - you might like to read it -
then you might not.

You don't have to search the web long to find quite a few sites eager to
tell you the great similarities between Mithraism and Christianity. These
sites either imply or outright state that Christianity is a fraudulent
creation based primarily on Pagan religion, and especially on Mithraism.
There you will see lists, some quite long, of the things the two religions
have in common. The only problem is that most of the items on these lists
aren't true. What we have here is a garbage in, garbage out, situation. If
the majority of your facts are wrong, your conclusion will also be wrong.

In the comparison between Mithraism and Christianity, the situation is even
worse. Even if every single item on these lists were true, it can still be
proven that Christianity didn't take any of them from Mithraism. Before
getting to the lists, I want to get one thing out of the way.
