Did the Romans do christanity up?
In some religions, the mysteries of the past, there was one chief god who was the equivalent of God of monotheistic and other gods were what would become angels who now much believe in. A most important of these gods was Mitras, Sun god. Mitraism was the main religion of the Roman Empire before Christianity became the established religion of Rome. There are many parallels between Mitras life and Jesus. Mitras was born on December 25 and had twelve disciples. He had a last meal before being crucified and risen.

Since Tarsus, the birthplace of Saul, who later changed his name to Paul, was a center Mitraism and December 25, was chosen as the birth of Jesus, many biblical scholars believe that some of the most mythical of the New Testament may be derived myth and Mitras Mitraism. sure sounds like it to me. Those with blind faith need not reply.
I think they have to keep a stable economy, make people fear the afterlife to behave. Answer to last post – pagan Rome died because they used lead pipes for water. They died of lead poisoning, learn your history.
