Is Christianity based on older myths?

[Mudhammam]

On the contrary, once you realize that Jesus Christ of Nazareth and Bethlehem is not a historical figure and the Gospels aren't recording actual events, there is no time frame for fictional Jesus' death. The bottom falls out, and we are left with documents that represent the development of putting into writing their mysteries that may have been evolving for many decades, on top of the lapse of decades already conceded by Christian apologists.

You are in a minority (perhaps even on this forum) since most scholars have not come to realize Jesus was not a historical figure.

That can't possibly be intended to be taken as an argument against the Christ-mythicists, right? Surely you know that both Appeal to Authority and Appeal to Popularity are fallacies in logical argument. I'm sure we can both find positions that were simultaneously true and yet criticized on the same errant reasoning.
