The Romulus Myth is another Virgin Man-God myth.

Turns out Romulus's mother was a virgin, his father a god, he was raised in poverty with overtones of the Moses Myth, he gets murdered by the powers that be, reappears for a while, ascends into the firmament etc. etc.

Nobody takes the historicity of Romulus seriously.

I have been shown how the minutia of the story is different, that makes Christianity so unique that it has to be true.

You see there is a vast difference between a god taking on the form of a swan or golden shower and impregnating a virgin and an angel telling a virgin that a holy spirit has impregnated her.

BIG difference. If you can't see that, you must be close minded.
