Oh I don't know, because the people who are criticizing it are professional historians who have actually done the research?
yes I know its been criticized, but why listen to those criticisms? the first part of the documentary about the Jesus myth is absolutely true, & there's nothing bogus about it.
"The God Who Wasn't There" is also about the Jesus myth.

"The God Who Wasn't There" also contains a few fallacies, but it does have Richard Harris in it, who has at least done some research into the area.
The stuff about ancient Gods having similar properties to Jesus are very varied; and most of it can be debunked by spending a few minutes on Wikipedia.
If you have a little more time, here is a full debunking of the first part of the movie: http://conspiracies.skepticproject.com/a.../part-one/
(that site also contains sections debunking the movie in its entirety)
