@PaladinHero If you want to convince your family that Christianity is BS, just encourage them to read the Bible cover to cover. That rarely fails.

@piroteknix: I also heartily recommend "Have I Got News For You" (many episodes of which have been uploaded onto YouTube, a particularly good one involving Brian Blessed).

Your religion is just a slue of recycled dead religions. Honestly we should have stayed with the Greek Gods.

All of this (and other similiarities b/w Mithras and Jesus) make sense and I'd love to use them in debates with my overwhelmingly Xian family, but are there any original sources I can use to verify these claims? I saw an interview with that disingenuous jerk Lee Strobel where he claimed the connections were BS and were invented by 18th Century Germans. Can anyone provide hard facts and original source material to verify the Mithras story and its similarities?
"Is he a tribute band?"
I just love reading comments from fellow QI-tubers, they're all so well put :)

Simply "guessing" is not science. Hypotheses, yes, ideas based on observation that can be tested and disproved. Science doesn't say that we know everything, or that we can, and it clearly accepts its limitations. What a completely dishonest claim for you to make. To say we know nothing is just as ridiculous. Comparing modern collective world knowledge to say... biblical knowledge... demonstrates this. Arguments from ignorance and presenting strawmen just make you look silly btw.
