Thanks for sharing your atheist intolerance with us.

At least you're not alone. http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=0uRhtMD932M

A lot of pre-Christian mythology foretells resureection. It's remarkably common. Even the bit about the messiah returning after having died for theree days is common, as is the Moses myth of the baby floated on a basket down the river. For instance the paralleles between Jesus and Horus are telling.

I don't think "foretell" is the right word, considering the story is just modified version of other myths that existed before Christianity.

That's like saying Romeo and Juliet foretold High School Musical.

Its an attempt by christians to discredit the facts behind the belief that jesus was a made up figure based on previous myths and beliefs similiar to the logic creation "scientists" use to discredit evolution.

You said it well : it is indeed a belief.

Richard Dawkins Alert !

I said belief because it is entirely possible that he was indeed a real person. I can accept that some love guru lived way back then pretending to be the progeny of some mystical sky daddy. Hell, people nowadays can be convinced of that.

Of course the fact that he was not the son of any god figure is etched in stone. Don't even convince yourself that your entire jesus concept is only your belief.
