Are you reffering to those kinds of things? I think there is some truth to that, but that the basic idea of Christianity is completely original. The basic idea of Christianity is that God got angry at the humanity and had to sacrfice his own son in order to forgive us. As far as I know, that doesn't fit well into comparative mythology.
Yes, that’s the sort of thing.
No, the basic idea of Christianity is not ‘completely original’. If you think it is, you don’t know enough about comparative mythology.

I am not saying Jesus really existed (much of the ancient history didn't actually happen), but to me the attempts to argue that Jesus didn't exist using comparative mythology sound much like Vukovar Revisionists using the ironic meanings in names to argue that Vukovar Massacre didn't happen.
