Some people don't read their mythologies well.
And by the way, evidence tells us there was no virgin birth in the original Jesus story. So doesn't matter what other myths say about how their characters were born.
Oh, bullshit. Read the fucking thing.
"But Zeus came to her in the form of golden rain, that streamed in through the ceiling and down into her womb."
How is this so different from your xtian shit?
"His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit."
If joseph had had any balls he'd have been out gathering rocks to stone the bitch.
The difference between the two stories is that one involves an act of penetration (sex) and the other doesn't. Read well. There is a purpose behind the later addition of the virgin birth to the story of Jesus., and it wasn't to copy other myths.
And you don't just quote what other people say the myth says. You quote directly from the myth itself if you want to provide evidence of what the myth says. Otherwise, comes off as disingenuous.
