Considering that it is currently Christmas day where I am, this is a pretty opportune time to bring this up. Since many other deities and special religious events from before Christ fall on December 25th and other deities share Christ-like characteristics (12 diciples, etc.), is it fair to say that the Bible stole these ideas? I think so, because it is just too large of a coincidence, but is there evidence otherwise?

Re: Which Direction?
I suppose I think it is fair to say that the Bible copied from these other sources, even though the evidence available amounts to "that's just too big of a coincidence".
