In a recent newspaper article concerning Christmas and Black Friday, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr George Carey, had this to say:
"So are we beginning to witness a drift from ‘sleighbells’ to ‘slay-bells’ – the sound of a religious festival being silenced by Bacchus, the god of wine?”
It is my strong belief that Bacchus and Jesus Christ are one and the same person.
Take a look at this symbol:

I quote this from a dictionary of religious symbols:
"The symbol as it appears [above] originated in Rome with the early Christians, and was popularized in the fifteenth century by Franciscan disciple Bernardine of Sienna, who promoted it as a symbol of peace.
Some evangelicals have theorized that the initials stand for “Isis, Horus, and Seb,” and are related to Egyptian sun worship, but this is a spurious claim that has never been supported by any solid evidence. Solar and Lunar symbolism have been in continual use by the Church and are most likely continuances of Roman ceremonial symbolism. There is, however, good evidence that the initials were once used to represent Bacchus, the god of wine, who early Christians identified with Jesus.
The IHS emblem today most commonly represents the communion wafer, and is closely associated with the Jesuit Order. The solar rays often depicted surrounding the emblem represent the monstrance (Ostensorium),* a decorated vessel used to display the Communion Host. The solar symbolism is probably ancient in origin, and probably borrowed from Roman ritual implements."
It is the solar element that is most interesting. Because if you look at the ancient religions from Osiris onwards, you will see that all the gods, including of course, Jesus Christ, were born on or near the winter solstice (25th Dec-6th Jan inclusive) as this represented the birth of the Sun:
SUN-MYSTERY RELIGIONS:
Osiris (dead&resurrected)
= Ormuzd of Persian mysteries (dead&resurrected)
= Sita of Indian mysteries (dead&resurrected)
= Adonis(<–Aton/Adonai) (dead&resurrected)
= Cubiria/Kabiri of Samothrace (dead&resurrected)
= Bacchus IHS/Dionysos (dead&resurrected)
= Jesus IHS (dead&resurrected)
The latter two appear to share the same monogram IHS. I quote from another article:
“I.H.S. is interpreted Jesus Hominum Salvator, and In hoc signo. It is, however, well known that the Greek IHS was one of the most ancient names of Bacchus…In hoc signo Victor ens, or the Labarum T (the tau and the resh) is a very old signum, placed on the foreheads of those who were just initiated. Kenealy translates it as meaning “he who is initiated into the Naronic Secret, or the 600, shall be Victor” but it is simply “through this sign hast thou conquered”; i.e., through the light of Initiation…”
It is the part about initiation that is quite fascinating. Bacchus, (or Dionysus, to give him his Greek name) had an initiation ceremony during the Dionysian Mysteries. Initiates were allowed to see the secrets of the winnowing fan, which was a type of basket or cradle which Dionysus was placed in at his birth…on January 6th. Bacchus/Dionysus is known as a god of epiphany: “the god who comes”: and also as ‘god of the vine’, and ‘god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine’.
The question I would like to ask is, why do these two share such similarities.? I read a supposedly true story once about someone who had a spiritual experience of ecstasy whilst alone in church. The story goes that on the way home this person spotted a van with ‘Bacchus Garden Maintenance’ on the side. This person got home and did some research and found out that Bacchus was Dionysus, a god of epiphany and religious ecstasy. Coincidence was knocked on the head when some time later the person discovered that Bacchus/Dionysus was linked to the magpie. On the day in question there were two magpies just feet away from the van. I understand that even the word ‘van’ had links with this god, as his ‘mystical van’ is the winnowing fan I mentioned earlier.
Discuss.
