Yeah, Christians get very hostile when you compare Jesus' myth with other religions, and yet you can see how wrong they are about denying it when they protested how the Olympics were mocking the Last Supper although it portrayed Feast Of The Gods which does have to do with the last supper because they stole those mythological elements.
So even the early Christians made ridiculous claims like that the classical world had stolen its ideas from them. They claimed that Pythagoras and Plato had stolen their ideas from Moses.
Or because pre-Christian poet Virgil in Eclogues wrote: "Now the Virgin returns . . . now a new generation descends from heaven", Christians (including Augustine) for centuries claimed that Virgil was a Christian prophet.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
