What an imagination some of you have, there are so many filthy lies here I wouldn't know where to start. Where is all your proof that the New Testament writers borrowed parts of these ancient mythologies? I am reading a lot of rubbish here with not much supporting evidence, all you have done is picked out a few dubious similarities at best.
Lestat I am not surprised you reject the divinity of Christ as you have chosen to follow the teachings of a warmonger. Jesus did indeed claim to be God in the flesh and it is in the Bible. How can a mere human be worthy enough to pay the sins for all of humanity? But thats right the Qu'ran denies the crucifixion, and without even a plausible explanation.

Care to explain these dubious similarities then? and why they came into effect around the time that Christianity was expanding into Eastern Europe and the Middle East/Egypt?
It's widely known that the concept of Christ as a Deity was only widely accepted after the council of Nicea, and plenty of the Gospels that didn't make it into the Bible show him as a kind, benvolent religious leader, who changed the political landscape of the Middle East, but wasn't a god.
How do you know Jesus claimed to be God in the Flesh? Did you know him? or are you basing your supposition on the words of the one man who stood to benefit from the Deification of Jesus, Peter, the first in a long line of profiteering religious dictators.
