Dying God - Tumblr Posts

I wouldn't say Jesus is "just Dionysus" -- not any more than Dionysus is "just Osiris" or "just Mithras" or "just Shiva".  You're on the right track, in that the mythology is archetypally the same -- the Infant God Of Light, the Compassionate Lover God, the Dying God / Sacrificed God, the Resurrected God.  These apply to Dionysus and Jesus, yes, but also to many other deities.  Most of those deities were born of virgin mothers, announced by stars, slept in mangers, were hidden away from kings or figures of power, travelled around spreading strange new teachings, were labelled insurrectionists or heretics, and ended up killed in a sacrificial way before ultimately being resurrected.  But being part of the same archetype, the same mythic family, doesn't mean Jesus = Dionysus in any complete real way.

I'm trying to write a paper on why Jesus is just Dionysus, but stupid Christian websites keep getting in my way.

Any help would be so awesome!!! Websites, books, documentaries, you name it i’ll look into it. Just no more ” Satan implanted those myths so that we would doubt Christ” for the love of the Gods.
