Where did the Jesus myth come from?

[Atom]

Jesus was not a real person, so where did this Jesus myth come from? Was it based on a single other faith? Was it a combination of other faiths? Or was it completely invented out of nothing?

Here is Bart Ehrman answering your question. It seems he and virtually all academic historians disagree with the presupposition that Jesus was not a real person.

So that all the distractions don't obscure the topic I'll restate it.
Bart Ehrman states the following:

"I don't think there is any serious historian who doubts the existence of Jesus".

"I don't think it was more than one person, I mean, I think there was a historical Jesus..."

I offer the testimony of the Christian-hostile expert witness, Bart Ehrman, saying that Jesus was a real person and stating that "no serious historian" doubts this.

Claims to the contrary notwithstanding, I have argued a position and provided strong evidence to support it: Specifically "Jesus was a real person". I don't claim this to be a proof, just very strong evidence. I've provided other evidence, but this argument is the one I'm waiting to see refuted.
