re: #245 Dr Lizardo

If I’m recalling correctly, there are uncanny similarities in the conception stories of both Jesus and Perseus. Perseus, however, wasn’t sealed into a coffin with his mother and set adrift, of course.

The early Christians borrowed heavily from pagan myths to make Jesus miraculous and also familiar to the pagans of the day. It’s not like Jehovah was the first god to impregnate a mortal girl, after all. [And Mary *was* a girl, a teenager at the time]
