“Mithras, the sun-god, was born of a virgin in a cave on December 25, and worshipped on Sunday, the day of the conquering sun. He was a savior-god who rivaled Jesus in popularity. He died and was resurrected in order to become a messenger god, an intermediary between man and the good god of light, and the leader of the forces of righteousness against the dark forces of the god evil.”
- Pagan Origins of Christmas

Nonsense, this is not factual information. Hint - never ever consider a site reputable that uses an "online" newsletter "no longer available" as a source, lol.

Basically most of the information on "Mithras" you posted are factually inept with poorly hidden agendas. Your first link in your last post actually says " The birth of Mithras from the rock, therefore, would appear to represent the idea that he is in some sense greater than the cosmos. ". And I don't even count that link as reputable. Nor do I consider your second link in last post trustworthy, the "comparisons" strain credibility in many instances, and a couple of clicks leads you to here on the same website :

http://www.mystae.com/restricted/reflections/messiah/jesusx.html

The site you source has an agenda, as my link above shows.

Here are a couple of links to your "Mithras" character that are a lot more accurate and intellectually honest:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithraism
The mythology of Mithraism - In the absence of any Mithraist scripture, all we know about Mithras is what can be deduced from his images in the mithraea that have survived.

Even this Catholic site provides a great deal more scholarly information than the links you provided:
