sites that supposedly refute the "christ myth"
I'd post it in the appropriate forum but it's DEAD!!! It's in forum heaven.
A theist named Apotheon posted this.
The pagan "copy-cat" theory is not promoted by scholars, but by atheists who are not concerned with objective historicity, but with their agenda. These links shread their arguments.

Its all bullshit. I just flipped through one of the articles that is said to "shread" the jesus myth, and all the "first hand eye witness acounts" are made years after jesus is supposed to have died. I guess if your math leads you so far off as to believe the earth is 6000 years old, then guessing a couple decades is "recent" isn't too bad.

So basically, since 20 centuries ago people believed Jesus turned water into wine then it must have happened. Right? Don't worry that natural law makes this impossible. They said they saw it.
And since so many people believe that Elvis is alive then it must be true. Right? They said they saw him. So he's ALIVE!!
And since thousands have claimed to have seen aliens then that means aliens are real. And since even more have seen ghosts, then ghosts are real too.
This changes everything. This means that President Kennedy is still alive and that the Virgin Mary reveals herself in grease spots and moldy cheese.
It's all true! PRAISE THE LORD!!

The Christian "The Bible is History" theory is not promoted by scholars, but by Christians who are not concerned with objective historicity, but with their agenda. These links shred their arguments:

Sarcasm aside - I don't personally care if there was a historical Jesus or not. What Jesus supposedly had to say was not very impressive, and the miracles that Jesus supposedly performed were not very impressive either, considering they all have very non-supernatural explanations (sleight of hand, storytelling expanded to be more interesting, a population of people ignorant of science and steeped in superstition...)
I also have to ask of the original post.. what type of "agenda" do atheists have exactly that makes atheists not concerned with "objective historicity"? Why is the agenda of atheism more likely to promote a lack of concern with historical accuracies than the agenda of Christianity?

A good scientist will always change her mind if new evidence is presented which gives her sufficient reason to change it.
