RationalistsmaintainthattheJesus whomChristiansadoreasGodismerelyoneofmanyso-calledSavioursof humanity.thatthereareevennumerousparallelsforHispassion,deathand resurrectioninpaganmythology,and thatconsequentlywe-mustconclude thattheChristianfaithwascontaminatedfromtheverybeginningbypagan influence.

Consultanytwoancientwritersdealingwithsuchmatters,andyouwill findthatthelegendstheyrecordare inconsistencyitself.ThiswasexemplifiedinthecaseofKrishna,theincarnationofthegodVishnu.

Again,itoftenhappenedthatmythicalpersonageswhooriginallywere comparativelyunimportantgradually cametotheforeforvariousreasons, andfinallywerefullydeifiedbythe peopleofthecountrywherethemyths werepopular.IsisandOsiriswere second-rate personagesinancient Egypt:so,too,MithrasinPersia-but bythetimeofJesusChristhewasprominentasadivinityWhenpaganism wasdisintegratingitwasinevitable thatthepriestsofanyparticularcult shouldtrytoattributethehighest formofdivinitytotheirownparticular hero.

Incontrastwithallthesechanging andinconsistentsystemsstandsthe Christianfaith,which.aswasshown inlastyear'sconferences.wasfromthe beginningonefaith,aconsistentbody ofdoctrine,astabletradition.

Ifitbeclaimedthatmanymythologicalreligionsaimed,likeChristianity,atregeneratingmenandfitting themforalifeofhappinessbeyond thetomb,itcanbeansweredthatthere areprofoundieternaldifferencesbetweenChristianityandallsuchsystems. -4Theydiffer,first,inthenatureofthat divinitytowhichtheyclaimtolead men.FortheChristianfaithinsistson anabsolutemonotheism,whereaspaganismfavouredunbridledpolytheism, which,evenatitsbest.aboutthetime ofChristwouldonlyadmitonechief godamongseveral.

Thirdly,Christianityprescribesfor thosewhowishtobenefitbytheexpiationatotallydifferentprocessfrom thatprescribedbypagancults.For these,thereisbutoneconditionfor salvation-toprofessdevotiontothe deityinquestion,tobeinitiatedinto themysteriesofthecultandinvoke thepatronageorthegod.Nothingelse matters-nomoralityisinsistedupon, nothinginthenatureofrenunciation, self-denialisrequired.

Gradually,thefriendsofChristcame firsttoattributetoHisdeaththesense andefficacyofanexpiation,andthus totransformHimintoaSaviour,a rivalofthevariouspagansaviours. ButeveninthisformtheRationalists thesisisinadmissible.
