consider: virtually NO information appears in historical textx that can verify the existence of Jesus.
Consider: Most of the items in the Bible that can be examined for their historical accuracy, including the importance of Jerusalem in the ancient world, have been found, through archaeology, to be false, or gross exagerations.

How exactly can you "abolish" a religion? I know you're not asking that exactly, but you never asked should any other creationist myths be abolished. Christianity has defined a lot of cultures in a huge way and I'm not saying in a good way all the time. Look at the masacres at Acre. It was horrid and disgusting and it makes me hate the story of Robin Hood, and which one was the "Good" King. But people have done horrible things for other religions too. It just seems to me that you can't abolish a religion. Some religions die out, like Zoroastrianism, whcih was huge in Persia, when there was a Persia. But people's religions or lack thereof are important to them, and you can't take that away. Saying no one can be Christian is as bad as saying everyone has to be Christian. To me.

What part of Christianity are calling a myth?
There is more documented evidence that Jesus Christ rose from the dead, walked on this earth for 40 days witnessed by 500 people than there is that Alexander the Great ever existed.
This is America! People have the right to believe and practice any faith they choose. Just how many other countries give you that freedom? If you don't like our Constitutional rights and you live here in America, let me by you a one way ticket out!

If you abolish the Christian Myth, what would take its place? It has not always happened historically that the better myth replaces the old.

What is the Christian Myth?

Rudolph Butlmann thought that this myth was too old-fashioned to be used. However, if you take away Christian myth, then what's to stop you from taking away all other religious myth> Nietzsche said that we wouldn't mentally be able to cope with a totally nihilistic approach.

Whatever the Christian myth is. But if you are talking about doing away with God, you would have to not exist because you are in Him. Go figure!

Would you like me to keep on going?
As for the answer to this question. I guess that everyone is entitled to their opinion, so it shouldn't be abolished. Christians should also keep in mind that not everyone believes what they believe, so they shouldn't be telling people what to believe either.

I don't think any myth can be abolished; but it's high time to abandon this one. (See link below.)
