Thank God this doesn't apply to the Catholic Church!

It wasn't balder, balder's one of odin's bitches. His connection to Jesus is rather interesting. He had 12 disciples, and one of them was a betrayer. Betrayal resulted in joy vanishing from the earth, and so odinic followers would try to ressurect balder. There's more, but who cares.
It was serapis, my mistake. The person who declared this was emperor Hadrian in ad 134 while traveling to egypt. There's alot of information on that, but it's pointless to mention, really. Suffice it to say the "Sun God" exists in more than one religion.
