"Oh no, not another religion thread!"
I just thought the subject of Jesus would be welcoming since it's Christmas and all. This particular link shows the similarity between Jesus and other Pagan gods, showing similarities that boggled my mind even when I was a Christian. Is it just a coincidence that Jesus's life was so similar to Buddha, Horus, Mithra, and Krishna, or does Jesus in fact lose all his credibility as God and can be taken no more serious than other mythologies and deities that we all look down upon today? How would a Christian refute these arguments, without confining themselves to circular reasoning? Seems to me, that as the transfer of information becomes easier, people will begin to find out the fallacies and flaws in their beliefs and ways of thinking.
