B = pagan comes from the latin paganus which was used by the Romans to
put down the simple country folk who did not wor****p the way they and
the city folk did. It was later used to mean anyone not of the
Abrahamic faiths. The Pagan Christ refers to the idea that Jesus's
STORY was not truly his but put upon him by those who wanted to take
away the wor****p of Mithras, Apollo, Dionysus...any of the solar or
agricultural gods...and put it on him to get more people to accept him
as beyond human..but a god. Since in those days no one thought a man
could be a god...they felt the need to make Jesus less human and more
God-like. Whether his story was applied later on or the truth....there
are some Christians who have this view. We have little in the way of
proof for either..so it comes down to what you believe and what you
know from within.
