Mithras owed his prominence to the belief that he was the source of life, and could also redeem the souls of the dead into a better world.
Ceremonial worship included baptism to remove sin, anointing with perfumed oil, and a sacred meal of bread and cannabis infused wine possessing a wonderful power.
In the catacombs at Rome was preserved an image of the infant Mithras seated in the lap of his virgin mother, while on their knees are Persian Magi offering gifts.
The worship of Mithras, the emissary of light, who symbolized the dissemination of life giving forces in the face of the powers of darkness and chaos fit neatly within the soldiers calling of bringing Roman "law and order" to a chaotic evil world.
Mithras was a life-death-rebirth deity also known as a "dying-and-rising" or "resurrection" deity, an avatar of the Creator and Sustainer.
The Vatican is built upon ground devoted to the worship of Mithras.
Orthodox Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version.
Virtually all of the elements of Orthodox Christian rituals, from miter, wafer, water baptism, alter, and doxology, were adopted from the Mysteries of Mithras, cross pollinated by the followers of Serapis.

They covered a large portion of the ancient world and flourished until being superseded by Constantine's Imperial version of Christianity.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
