Is Christianity based on older myths?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Maybe i am wrong but from what i can tell, not a scrap of evidence has been produced in this thread which suggests Christianity was copied from other religions.

I came to the conclusion 10 pages back that there was no real substance to the claim that Christianity came from old myths. It is a useful theory to the atheist who is hell-bent on discrediting the gospels/epistles. For some atheists, discrediting them seems to be so necessary that any theory (no matter how unsupported by facts) that helps is latched onto with certainty and propagated as fact.

In a nutshell, it is a fringe theory (origins:myth) supporting a fringe theory (the NT events/writings are manufactured) in support of the fringe conclusion that Christianity was started for power and money.

FFS.

Ok, let's work it from another angle. What concrete evidence do you have that suggests the gospels (as an example) were actually written by the apostles entitled? Just anything, what is it?

Here's the thing - the bible is the claim. The things in the bible are the claims made that constitute the entire biblical claim. With me thus far? Why should I, as someone who is skeptical of claims with no substance, take your word about the truth value behind that claim over the null hypothesis that it's all bunk until proven otherwise?

And here's the other thing that you haven't even touched upon since 10 pages back where your own conclusion preceded the subsequent discussions. Whether the Jesus myth is real or not is irrelevant when compared to the claims of divinity which are (again) held within the bible. for that, you'd need to present something to match in incredibleness [sic] of the constituent claim[s], to which thus far I've seen the same amount as you convincing us that the story of Jesus existing is even real in the first place.
