An often heard charge against Christianity is that early Christians made up the whole story by borrowing from pagan myths like the Mithras. These claims really reveal how little the accuser knows about Mithras or Christianity.

Nicely written. Similarities can be “found” if you want to find it. This goes back to the epic of Gilgamesh. It is difficult to say whether there was any cross cultural influence or whether Is December 25th the real birthday or Jesus or is it celebrated because it is close to the winter solstice? At the end of the day it really does not matter.
