Do they actually READ those stories? They were around far before the Bible. I'm not saying the story of Jesus is true or not, but at least acknowledge the relation!
Someone actually posted as a response call 1866666666 an talk to the Devil. Its a lie and you know it. READ THE STORY!

lol I saw that answer "That is a lie from Hell and you know it." Hahaha... It's sad yet amusing that they deny that these stories all the while (most likely) having never read any of them. Following blindly and believing what you are told without doing your own research is a foolish way to live your life.

The stories of a Savior/Redeemer have been around since the Garden of Eden. (Prophecy - Genesis 3:15)
Even throughout Genesis we find the story of Jesus prefigured in typology.
Abraham & Isaac
Jacob & the 12 Tribes
Joseph in Egypt
etc, etc.
It should come as no surprise the as the earth was populated in Genesis that other subsequent cultures wrote similarly themed stories.

No, they do not read the stories. They refuse to see that their stories, their traditions, even their holidays are "borrowed" from other faiths. That is why they want creationism taught in school. True education will lead to way fewer Christians.

They say they copied the bible stories or that it was a sign about Jesus. I know it seems obvious but they have something called faith that let's them reconcile fairy tales with reality.

What is the relation you are referring to? Similarities with other religions or belief systems does not mean that a religion is descended from another only that there are vague similarities.So what?

I don't think they do read the stories. I've actually seen Christians say "I won't read anything that might make me doubt Jesus".

You'll never "get to them" everything is forshadowed, all ancient civilizations appear in genesis so there's nothing new under the sun... it's all forshadowing bla bla...
monotheism is based on denial of the other and that's it. and if you're denied there's nothing in you to acknowledge.
oh father abraham, what did you do to us?

over 300 prophecies fulfilled by Jesus.....the idea that even 8 of these prophecies could be fulfilled by one person is 1 x (33zero;s) chances of happening....and 300 were fulfilled.....
....many cultures did have a future messiah theme....
