A myth weaved out of whole cloth with no basis in scripture. A pagan belief from Babylon just as the queen of heaven is.
I like how protestants love to throw out the whole pagan thing when attacking the Church.
Careful, CB, many people believe that all of Christianity is plagerized from numerous pagan myths and beliefs.
For example,
The Virgin Birth
Dying and Rising from the dead
Promises of eternal life
Just to name a few.
