Is Christianity based on older myths?

[pocaracas]

No. That proves people like wonderment and excitement in their entertainment.

I wonder how many people who read those billions of fiction books thought they were real, changed their lives, sacrificed (sometimes everything), became better people for it and told everyone they met it was true? Only then would you have a comparison.

Did I ever mention that those people thought they were real, before?

So, tell me, why do you think "people like wonderment and excitement in their entertainment"?

Why is Superman, a character created in the 1930's, still in the dreams of many?
