| The Ghost of RubangB said: bigjon, the Bible myth is in several other religions around that time period. Just as several other religions around that time had virgin mothers give birth to their messiahs. They were all ripping each other off. And once the Romans got their hands on Christianity, they molded it to fit their political whims even more. |
Actually, most scholars believe that the Bible (and similar religious texts) are based on folk-tales which were (in most cases) based on real people and real events ... This doesn't mean that what is in the Bible should be considered literal fact, but you shouldn't dismiss it as simply being "myths" either.
