Is Christianity based on older myths?

[SteveII]

In 160 Ad Justin Martyr wrote his apologia to Emperor Antoninus Pius. In this entire lengthy work he does not mention any Paul even once. This in spite of the claim that Paul brought xtianity to the Romans a century earlier.

There are big fucking problems with the Paul story.

I find it humorous that you use Justin Martyr as a source for Paul's non-existence.

1. Justin Martyr's works did not all survive.
2. In his surviving writings, he did refer to the "memoirs of the apostles" (gospels-plural) multiple times. He believed them to be reliable, and lastly,
3. The following quote suggest you are just wrong.

Reflecting his opposition to Marcion, Justin's attitude toward the Pauline epistles generally corresponds to that of the later Church. In Justin's works, distinct references are found to Romans, 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and 2 Thessalonians, and possible ones to Philippians, Titus, and 1 Timothy. It seems likely that he also knew Hebrews and 1 John. The apologetic character of Justin's habit of thought appears again in the Acts of his martyrdom, the genuineness of which is attested by internal evidence.[43] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Martyr
