What it claims
In a 2016 piece, G.S.Griffin lists pre-Christian gods such as Horus, Osiris, and Mithra.He claims they were born to virgins.He explains that Rome fixed December 25 as the birthday of the sun god Sol Invictus in 274 CE.He writes that Constantine adopted this day as Christ's birthday.He notes that mother-figures across several myths share the syllable 'ma,' meaning 'mother.' The author qualifies this by saying the resemblance could be coincidence or could reflect real influence.
How it connects
The author says he does not assert direct causation.Yet he cites mainstream scholars and unsourced lists side by side in the same footnotes, erasing the difference in reliability between them.
