Christians: their imaginary friend is not even original.

“The streets were quiet, in the way that streets only are when the first snow falls. “It’s going to be a white Christmas,” said Shadow as he pumped the gas.
“Yup. Shit. That boy was one lucky son of a virgin.”
“Jesus?”
“Lucky, lucky guy. He could fall in a cesspit and come up smelling like roses. Hell, it’s not even his birthday, you know that? He took it from Mithras. You run into Mithras yet? Red cap. Nice kid.”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Well…I’ve never seen Mithras around here. He was an army brat. Maybe he’s back in the Middle East, taking it easy, but I expect he’s probably gone by now. It happens. One day every soldier in the empire has to shower in the blood of your sacrificial bull. The next they don’t even remember your birthday.”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods
Ok, io sono il solito rompicoglioni e lo so, peró la frase quotata all’inizio, “Christians: their imaginary friend is not even original”, quella l’ho scritta io nel mio reblog. Nulla di che, per caritá, ma io vorrei davvero capire come mai c’è in giro gente che si prende la briga attivamente di rimuovere i crediti altrui.
