I'm up for debunking Jesus as the next guy, but that one really lacks solid evidence.
Mithras on the other hand it much more solid.
I think the issue is a little more complex. The mythology of Christ seems to be a composite of many ancient god-men/gods. Bits from here and there. The best way, I have found, to approach it, is by disecting the Christ myth and comparing each aspect or motif to those of former, and even contemporary characters. Also, look into the hero archetype and read, Otto, Campbell, Jung, for example. This is the way I go about it, and the results are rather convincing.
