36. Some language research can be useful, but not conclusive

I was merely pointing out that the basic 'story' of the 'son of God' was an allegorical representation of the course of the SUN through the Zodiac. This was true in virtually all the Mystery Religions (although some used special constellations rather than the sun) of which Christianity was only one of many until it successfully used the power of the Roman Empire to persecute the other Mystery Religions out of existence (or underground).
