Just so you know where I am coming from.
I view Christianity as an anti-intellectual disease affecting the minds of innocent youth at an age before they are taught critical thinking skills. In Fact there is a mountain of evidence in Christian writings to indicate that critical thinking is sinful.
Original sin in Christianity is eating from the fruit of the tree of KNOWLEGE. that is anti-intellectualism at the core of the beleif system.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Christian mythology sounds about right.

"It" should be and always will be called Christianity as a whole, however, there are different sects. I myself am a Catholic, but I'm tolerant of other christian beliefs. mythology would imply that it's not true. but it is true, so you are officially a retard or a heathen or both for having asked that question. I'll pray for you and hope that you "see the light".

If Christians accept Paganism as a religion instead of mythology, then call it Christianity.
If Christians don't accept Paganism as anything but mythology, then call it Christian mythology.

It will take another hundred years, in my estimation, for it to be the accepted term. But I'm happy to call it mythology right now. I say, knock yourself out!

It is very difficult to find something that is absolutely a fact. True today and gone or changed tomorrow.

In that case, every belief system in the world should have mythology placed behind it...

How could it be called mythology when
1. Jesus is a historical person (FACT)

2. The bible is an accurate translated document (FACT)

Yes, most of it is based on prior mythological beliefs, but is it really necessary to come on Y.A. and cut down other people's belief systems. You should focus more on your own life.
