    A lot of what is accepted about Jesus is directly pulled from other mythologies.

    Example = 12/25 birthday.

      Hercules was not born of a virgin. Anyone who knows the myth can tell you that.

      Also, the Buddha is not a god and not Nepali and not born of a virgin.

      This list is nonsense.

        I totally believe Hercules was a virgin birth, every bit as much as Jesus was!

        See, Chad Zeus God came to them in their dreams, and “blessed” them with a baby. Who is Joseph or any other man to challenge a woman’s word on divine intervention?

          Honestly, I’m more annoyed by the list calling Buddha a Nepali god who was born of a virgin on the 25th of December since not a single word of that beyond “Buddha” is what any Buddhist claims.
