Is Christianity based on older myths?

[Mudhammam]

OK I see, thanks. Steve better send you some flowers for that work you did for him!

It sounds like Paul is a little more credible than HJ, then. I'd have to look into all this stuff to make a better judgement.

Thanks for the insight

The problem with "historians" assessing this stuff is that they often seem to rely on bogus, fallacious logic to come to conclusions rather than actual evidence. That's not surprising from a christian "scholar" of course. I'd rather historians stuck to the evidence and what can be reasonably demonstrated without making bogus appeals on top of that.

No problem. I think we must accept that reconstructing history, especially relatively unknown individuals (hell, even most known ones in their time) is mostly guesswork, and never as objective as one might hope for in a science.
