Like the last time. Short summary: I posted Justin Martyr's
condemnation of the Mithraists for stealing the Eucharist from
the Christians.

Which we all know.

Then I presented the earliest depiction of the
Eucharist, that of Paul's...

<yawn> So?

Then, there's Plutarch's description of Pompey's trouble with the King
Mithridates, in which he makes a point to describe ``strange
sacrifices upon Mount Olympus'' a century or so before the Last
Supper was supposed to have happened. And, lastly, Paul, himself,
grew up in the heart of Mithra worship.

None of which makes a coherent argument. I look forward to
documentation of "Paul growing up in the heart of Mithra worship".

QED.

All the best,
