that is original?
Everything that Christianity is based on was borrowed, stolen, or just plain hijacked from earlier beliefs and holidays.
Jesus wasn't the first to turn water into wine.
Jesus wasn't the first to heal the sick.
Jesus wasn't the first to return from the dead.
Jesus wasn't the first to be born of a virgin.
Everything that he taught had been taught before.
In short there was absolutely nothing unique about him.

I just love how many Christians don't realize that everything Jesus did was originally done by Osirus/Ra and Mithras both.
Jesus was inflated simply becaused the Christians initially were losing to Mithraism, so the Christians applied the same stories to their leader and reinterpretted the Old Testament to support their claims.

And your point is.....?
So, history repeats itself any way. Besides, Jesus was the only one of his kind to walk the earth, even if half the stories told are true. I'll agree in the bible let alone other societies, Jesus was not the first to do many things. But, at the very least he was a remarkable man that went against society to teach peace and love, and died for it.

the most unique thing about Jesus was that he was able to market his beliefs to the poor and the crippled and people who needed someone to believe in. in other words, time, place, and everything wrong in the government system, these are the ingredients to make a perfect revolution. but his 'marketing students' "accidently" added in their support after his death. and thus, a great religion was born, dedicating their lives fighting non-believers and the forces of evil.

Most religions were made up from others beliefs before us Christains. I read the Di Vinchi Code and another book that sperated the fiction parts of the book written by another professor. I found them both fascinating.

Can you answer all the claims you made in your statement? Especially who was the first to be born of a virgin? I really want to know that one, but the other claims as well and any documentation backup as well (books, articles, etc...). Not a chastisment, but we as Christians are always asked for our proof, so where is yours?

Sigh.
Well, this is a matter of faith because we know that Adam was given the prophecy of Messiah right from the start. That eventually led to Moses and the Jews...which eventually led to Jesus on the cross. So the oldest "religion" is that of Jesus. So everything you just said is just plain incorrect.

He was the first Son of God to be killed for everyone's sins.

Jesus Christ is original. There is no one like him. And where did you get your info?
