why soft pedal?

Ah, yeah I'm usually very direct about calling out bullshit but the individual didn't seem to want to cause any trouble or seriously debate the issue. Just offer an opinion of one line and be on his/her way. 

I thought it would be okay to place the suggestion that the local flood could have been the factual event, which somehow spawned an urban legend about a man in a boat with a bunch of animals. 

I do understand the destructive nature of magical thinking and speak against it nearly every day. We're on the same page in that respect.

It sounds like all you know about christianity comes from r/atheism and youtube.

Anyway, to disprove your points about other deities, i have found several links, which you should check out

http://conspiracies.skepticproject.com/articles/zeitgeist/part-one/   It explains the whole ''Jesus was a rip off of other deites'' stuff

There are also a lot of videos that deal with this issue (mostly debunking the Zeitgeist movie, which pretty much started this whole nonsense)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7GgWOi4SQM  Historical (non biblical) evidence for Jesus, later parts in suggested videos

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFI6m6Icav4  This one is similar to the first link, but its in video. Again it deals with Zeitgeist, but it applies to your ppoints quite well too.

http://www.jonsorensen.net/2012/10/25/horus-manure-debunking-the-jesushorus-connection/  This one is specifically about Horus connections

http://explanationblog.wordpress.com/the-myth-of-jesus-a-refutation-of-the-zeitgeist/

 

TL;DR You are very very wrong 

The irony of criticizing someone's knowledge based upon youtube and then using that same medium to  present your rebuttal is truly astounding. Wordpress is even more baffling.

Anyways, reported for "queer" surely you know that isn't appropriate.

Except that this isnt your AmazingAtheist or Thunderf00t or FuckG0d or any other of your man child neckbeards basement dwellers. Rather the evidence comes from actual scholars and proffesors who know much more about the subject than you and I. And i only used 2 youtube videos, you're stretching there a bit
