Re: Beginning of Christianity
[ QUOTE ]
It is rather odd that people keep making this myth argument around the person of Jesus. They don't seem to do it around Mohammed or Buddha. They just single Jesus out.

The historical case for Mohammed is much stronger - though disputed with some. Also Mohammed was seen as a prophet, not the son of god walking around waking people from the dead and being resurrected, so the burden for a proper historical footprint on Jesus is big.
I also think you're stretching the 'it is because we are Christian' thing, that's just because most theists on this board are Christians it will seem that way.
As for Buddha, there have been several Buddhas. In most buddism Buddha is a title, not a specific being.
