None of these people (minus Randy) were ever proven to even exist outside of their own faiths and their corresponding religious writings. And really, Randy was added as a joke, but yeah, anyway. All of the men and women that died by crucifixion taught and acted in similar to identical ways with each other.
Just wanted to make a point Jesus is not original at all. Well, except his name and the religion that spawned his myth.
Where are you getting your information from? I cannot speak to other religions but Krishna, Indra and Bali are figures from Hindu Mythology, none of whom ever claimed to be children of god, nor were they killed for anyone else's sins - much less crucified. A cursory search reveals that most of the others don't fit that bill either. Whatever point you are trying to make would be better served if you get your facts straight.
