I just meant that the whole jesus story is also taken piecemeal from "pagan" religions.
Actually it isn't. Some poor scholars have attempted to sell some books to that effect, but that's about it. A few years back I made a somewhat hasty decision regarding some information I was given to that effect and briefly denounced my beliefs. I started to look into it further in order to share this information with others and discovered it was not the case.
That makes me a bit of a putz, doesn't it? Anyway I will not do that again.
