I've seen this before but thought I had also seen criticism in that some of the previous gods' attributes were misrepresented or something.

Either way I'm stealing it and will use it if I don't see some valid objections. The "Y u no..." meme makes me laugh.

But it's a rage comic, probably not intended to be taken as if it was thoroughly fact checked.

It outta tweak my little brothers on Facebook so that's good enough for me.

And if someone is bothered by it enough to go digging for facts to disprove it, that can't be a bad thing.

She was a YEC.

She used to get mad at me for harrumphing when she talked about shit like the Paluxy river dinosaur tracks.

But she still bought me a kick-ass pair of Lucchese ostrich skin boots for christmas a few years ago.

including a book stating that fossils were planted by the devil. I was young and had no idea people actually believed such crazy crap.

Each of the above shares additional connections, as well as the obvious similarities in the mythologies themselves. There are cultural and linguistic connections to early Christianity available to the Hellenized diaspora into which the inhabitants of Judea were thrown or fled. Even in the case of Krishna, the prototype was available as near as Alexandria for centuries before the alleged birth of Christ.

From 2005-09, I lived in Alexandria.

One of its most famous - and weirdest - monuments is the huge underground burial catacomb at Kom El-Shuqafa. The place is a short walk from another famous landmark, the remains of the Serapeum under Pompey's Pillar. Which was the last location of the Alexandria Library. Wall niches where the Library's scrolls were stored are still there and visible.

Kom El-Shuqafa is nearly psychedelic in its all-over-the-place religious symbolism. Over one doorway there's an elaborate mural of Osiris in the underworld, right above a painting of Persephone being dragged off to Hades.

One doorway is flanked by statues of the ancient Egyptian gods Anubis and Sobek (The Crocodile God). But they're wearing the armor and uniforms of Roman soldiers. Seeing a crocodile-headed god crammed into Roman armor is just...bizarre.

There are life-size statues of an elderly Roman couple, judging by their togas and other dress. But they're posed in ancient Egyptian death symbolism. (And they probably occupied one of the tombs at some time.)

Then there's a big shrine with a mixed pile of human and horse bones - dedicated to one of my personal favorite goddesses, Nemesis. Along with having a really bad attitude, she was also the patron goddess of jockeys and horse trainers. IIRC, according to local legend, the shrine was financed by a local Alexandrian jockey who fell off a horse and was told he would never walk again. When he recovered, he claimed it was a miracle from Nemesis.

Top that, Benny Hinn!

That the christians tagged on to their own to give it more credibility. Same for the muslims and all of the different branches of christianity.
