'Why does it have to be as old as the claimed disciples? '
James, Peter, John et al are well documented figures. They were talking about Christ by at least 50AD and probably before. This means that, unless they are make-believe, the 'legend' must be as old as the disciples or they would not be able to talk about it, would they?
'I have said this many times that the whole Jesus myths is nothing more than a collections of plagiarized myths that have predated christianity.Do the reseach I get tired of talking about the same thing over and over.'
How arrogant. Do you assume that anyone who disagrees with you has not done as much research or they would have come to the same conclusion? As I have said to Giff, the speed that the Christ myth formed rules out the possibility of a spontaneous legend. If Christ was make believe, then human hands have created him. Again I give my as yet un-answered question; who, why and how?
I assume you are talking about Mithras, Sol Invictus etc. Yes these myths could be used to combat the idea that Christ did all the things the Bible says he did (I think the Herod killing the infants in Matthew was a fable which tried to attach Christ to the earlier Moses myth and the Pharaoh's extermination of the Hebrew children). However, this does not suggest that Christ did not exist, only that a form of Chinese whispers has formed around his ministry. Chatpilot, don't assume the person with the opposite view is stupid, its rude.
