Q&A #20: Was Jesus a Rip-Off of Serapis?

Was Jesus Christ a rip-off of the Serapis myth? In this episode, we dive into the origins of the Serapis cult to discover how it started and if had any connection to early Christianity. And along the way, we will be talking about a whole lot of sacred cow. Please note, that in order to get this out by Monday, I had to pull an all-nighter after doing a full day of work, so I was really tired. As such, I ended up pronouncing “Serapis” a dozen different ways, which may be annoying; however, I did the best I could with the limited amount of sleep.
