The only stories of Jesus are claims made in the bible (there is no other mention of Jesus until well, well after his supposed death).
The only stores of divine beings are claims made in given holytexts/mythologies.
Ergo they are equally as (in)valid as one another.
I must note that I hold the Jesus story to have no validity. As the bible is a claim and not evidence, and the only account of Jesus is told through the books of the bible, until there is additional evidence to back up the claim I dismiss the story, as logic dictates.
If I may also ask, I presume you hold the Jesus mythology to be factually accurate. How did you determine that validity?
Thank you
So are you someone who disagrees with the majority of historians,and even the sceptic Bart Erhman, who do believe in a historical Jesus, an itinerant preacher, at the start of the 'Jesus movement'?
And presumably Paul of Tarsus never existed either?
