| Arent there some striking parallels between the Jesus and Adad stories? |
| Also known as Hadad, this is a Sumerian god that critics claim parallels the Jesus story. He was a storm god who both brought rain to feed the crops, and brought droughts and storms to kill his enemies. There are no parallels to Jesus. There is a story about Hadad hiding in a bog for seven years which some critics say corresponds to a death and resurrection, even though there's no death or resurrection in the story. |
