The idea that Jesus is no different than the 2,000+ gods of ancient history who have been largely forgotten may make it easier for you to discount Christianity (without actually thinking), but it's not a legitimate argument. The alleged parallels between Jesus and other so-called gods lack any real substance.

There's one parallel that is regnant: they all lack evidence.

It might be bullshit.  It might be horseshit. It might be elephant shit, or pigshit, or birdshit dotting the top of your brain.

But it's all shit. Take your special pleading and walk the streets for money with it ... you will definitely do better than you will on a forum filled with sharp tacks.
