Another one of the "gods" that Acharya S and Zeitgeist have been pushing as a source for the stories about Jesus is the pagan god Mithra.
Now keep in mind, Acharya S is a self-proclaimed "high priestess" of her own religion, and the majority of scholars laugh at the incredibly flawed scholarship that is found in the movie "Zeitgeist", but a lot of people on the internet are watching that film, and therefore it is important for us to address these issues.
During Roman times, Mithraism was perhaps Christianity's leading competitor for the hearts and minds of the Roman world. It was an ancient mystery religion that began in the middle East, and Acharya S and "Zeitgeist" believe that there are over a dozen things that Jesus supposedly has in common with Mithras.
The folks over at tektonics.org have done a complete and thorough job of totally debunking these "parallels" between Mithra and Jesus. After reading the following article, you will realize just how ridiculous and fraudulent Acharya S and "Zeitgeist" really and truly are:

Welcome To Evidence For Christianity!
Today atheists, skeptics and opponents of Christianity believe that they have the intellectual high ground when it comes to matters of logic, reason, science and faith. The reality is that the exact opposite is true, but our churches are doing a miserable job of equipping us to defend the faith. Hopefully blogs such as this will change all that.
