JESUS CHRIST: Myth or Historical Person?

[Polaris]

I was referring to some atheists who take a cookie cutter approach to other myths that say the details of Jesus' ministry are that deities as well, which is nothing like the actual myth.

I agree that some people....you'd have to ask them whether or not they are "atheists" stretch the point a bit but you also can't deny that the ANE was full of dying/resurrected vegetation gods. Almost every culture had one.

Leaving aside the extraordinary claims the fact remains that a "god" coming back to life was not exactly unknown among pagan religions.

Well they could be Christians trying to give normal atheists a bad image.
