In
Roman mythology, Bacchus (in
the Greek, Dionysus) was the
God of wine, intoxication and madness. Many
of the miracles later ascribed to Jesus were first performed by Dionysus, including
turning water into wine and a miraculous resurrection.
The
Dying Savior
Thousands of years before Jesus, there was a passion story told about a God man,
born of a virgin mother, in a stable. He travels about with his followers, preaching
and performing miracles, until one day he is allows himself to be arrested and
tried for blasphemy. He is found guilty and executed, only to rise from the grave
three days later, where the women weeping at his tomb do not recognize him- that
is, until he assumes his divine form as the God Dionysus...
