The Mysteries of Mithras: The Pagan Belief That Shaped the Christian World (Paperback)
by Payam Nabarz (Author), Caitlin Matthews (Foreword)
The unlikely, connections between Ancient Irish and Iranian folklore is also amazing to read. <b>Who knew that both Iran and Ireland mean the same thing......</b>[right][snapback]74479[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Payam Nabarz crashed and burnt right there.

The names of Ireland and Iran do NOT mean the same thing. But Oryan fantasists keep thinking that. And such readers as the one who commented on the above and upon reading 'discovered' that Ireland and Iran supposedly mean the same thing shows how some people are incapable of verifying any (absurd) claims. Please tell me the person commenting was not Irish. Most Irish people would know where the name Ireland came from.

Acharya, that user-like review you pasted on Joseph Atwill's book seems to be something from Amazon. Any books in Amazon critical of jesus, or the gospels or a historical christ tend to attract a bunch of christian spammers who say a lot but turn out never to have read the book in question. Seems like such a fellow, albeit <i>initially</i> more sensible-sounding. Am with Shambhu in his assessment of this. Sounds like the user-reviewer pulled a Richard Carrier.

So far the Award had gone to Muhammad ibn PBUH for his "The Allah Hoax", but his work was rather crude (effective, but crude). Titus has swept the panel of Joke Judges off its feet with his elegant straight drive down the ground with full follow through.
Hail Titus.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
