Amend that to say most mythological figures, and we got a deal. I am sure different events and people contributed to the Jesus Myth, like all myths, but to say there is an iron clad historical "Jesus of Nazareth" as you did is completely untrue. The only accounts of him are from his believers after his death. Excuse the cynicism in terms of their credibility.

But I understand why people like you who are wayward sheep wanting to keep the option of returning to the flock open.

No there isn't. There was nothing recorded of him when he was alive and the only sources are essentially the people who invented the myths themselves or at least believed in the folklore.

So I guess people just made Jesus up thousands of years ago?

Did the Native Americans make up their gods? Where did Egyptian gods come from? Greek gods? Where did Odin come from?

and Maui usually jumps all over me about ignoring evidence. If you refuse to see the direct correlation between the story of Horus and pretty much all other Pagan Gods, including Jesus Christ, than you can not call yourself knowledgeable on the subject.

Conception from a Virgin, The Only Begotten Son, Foster Father names Joseph (Seb - a.k.a Jo-Seph), Mother named Isis (translates to Meri), birth heralded by a "star in the east" or Sirius, Birth around the winter solstice, Birth witnessed by Sheppards, the break in life history between the age of 12 and 30, age of baptism, twelve disciples, walking on water, casting out demons, healed sick, restored sight to the blind, stilling the sea, raising the dead from the grave, the fact that the person they miraculously brought back from the dead translates into the same name and it also happened to be the same egyptian city, crucifixion, descended into hell and resurrected after 3 days, the list goes on.....

Main Role : Savior of humanity
Status : God-man
Common portrayal : Virgin Mother holding infant Horus/Jesus
Title : KRST - the annointed one / Christ - the annointed one
Other names shared directly between Jesus and Horus : he good sheppard, the lamb of god, the bread of life, the son of man, the Word, the fisher (strictly astrological meaning), the winnower.
Main Symbols : Fish, beetle, the vine, the sheppards crook.
Zodiaz Sign - associated with pisces, the fish

Those are just some of the parallels.

He is arguing that outside of that, there some proven historical figure attached to the Christ Myth. There are absolutely no sources of him outside of the context of the myth as reality.
