I think you know far less than you suppose you do, especially about mithraism. I respectfully suggest you go back and read more about the subject instead of just those bits and pieces you glean out for the purpose of trying to debunk Christianity. Better people than you have been trying to do that for two thousand years without success. Our faith is based on more than a date on a calendar.

I thought in my posts that I made more than a passing mention of a "date on a calendar."

What do YOU know of Mithraism. But as important to ask, what do you know of the savior/enlightened gods/figures of human history and myth?

It'd be like Lucas claiming that his was the one true "story" when Hidden Fortress is sitting out there made long before Star Wars.

And BTW, people still believe in religions that are almost as old or older than Christianity. Debunking them would be no more difficult, except that the addition of a savior-god who dies and is resurrected is so much more specific and easily traced to other such figures.
