For thousands of years, Mythology was the religion of choice. Once the Gods could not be prooven to be existant, man moved to Christianity. People change religions all the time looking for the real thing. So my question, in the next several hundreds or thousand years, will Christianity proove itself to be a myth?

Mythology is what we call religion that we no longer believe in. Mythology was never a religion of choice. The Greek and Roman gods were worshipped as true gods, not as myths. When we stopped believing in them, they were relabeled mythology.
The same will happen for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam some day. Hopefully we will not find some other wacky religion to replace them with.

The unknown is a form by any name.
In every human we ask why, how, who, when.
Faith is what drives us to find a explanation for that which we do not know.
Let many times in the time of man who has laid their life down today and in the past by our soldiers to protect the ones they love even with the ones that may not see the same way as they do. They go into the unknown and ask that what ever higher form of God to protect them in what they do.
So if you think this may fade away I say no as along as there are free men which is what Christ offers than no it will not. But if the left gets its way we all will have far less to worry about.
Faith and hope is what is the soul of the hear is and will always be.

It already has, christians just don't want to believe it.
I know, I know, bad atheist, how dare I insinuate that in the two thousand years since Jesus was born no one has found a single person related to him, even though the bible says he has at least four brothers and two sisters and NONE of them were celebate or lifted up to the heavens. How dare I insinuate that besides a few forgeries there's no direct evidence that Jesus (whose last name is unknown with certainty to this day) ever even existed.
Never mind that Romans left crucified bodies to rot and the whole point of crucifixion was to string criminals up to die horribly in public for all to see and be a grim reminder to all who see of what befalls those that cross Rome. Nevermind that his body would have rotted right there on the cross until it fell off on it's own. It wasn't a "hang by the neck until dead" type of execution where they have to re-use the noose on the next criminal, this was a PERMANENT EXAMPLE execution, hence the NAILS, wood, and hole in the ground on the side of the road. You may be thinking, Jesus wasn't crucified on the side of the road, and you'd be correct, because Jesus wasn't crucified at all.
I really hate to ruin people's faith, but I'm in a bad mood today... my superstitious christian loved one believes that I'm the reason for all bad that has and will ever happen because god doesn't like atheists, and Yahoo deleted a question that could not be offensive to anyone but the most die-hard of christian fundies. And even then, they really have to stretch to find any way to justify it being offensive.
Angry with god? Not at all. Angry with superstitious christians (which actually exist) DEFINITELY!

i think of that, no depend what, faith is an innate element of humanity. for many human beings, there are human desires and desires that may not be able to be fulfilled by using technology or atheism on my own. So, i do no longer think faith quite often will die and alter into universally called mythology. It actual will evolve inspite of the undeniable fact that, so i'm uncertain no depend if Christianity relatively will stay as a dominant faith.

Christianity isn't dead. Or dying. It's not even sick. What is dying is Christian fundamentalism and literalism, and good riddance. Remember, in medievel Europe, church-sponsored astronomers used a literal reading of the Old Testament to "prove" the Sun revolved around the Earth and the Universe was 6,000 years old. If people try to live the lives Jesus spoke about, Christianity will live on.

I think "DIMINATI" should win the prize. He hit the nail on the head, and also justly included the other two "Abrahamic" religions, whose followers have been killing each other, and continue to do so, to this day, in order to see whose "God" is the *real* one. It's INSANE.
Catholics have killed Protestants and viceversa (aren't they the same religion?). Shia and Sunni also kill one another. Ultra-Orthodox Jews believe they and only they can determine who is a Jew. So religious violence is not even limited to inter-faith; it's also intra-faith! WTF? When will this madness end??? Hopefully these "fairy tales" will fade into oblivion, and be replaced by rational thought. There's no one more dangerous than a religious fanatic. NO ONE.

God and I are working on changing all religions on earth into Mythology as we speak.

Mythology - what do you call Wicca? What do you call New Age? What do you call Scientology? What do you all Hinduism? Buddhism? Mythology is still the religion of choice. Even the horoscope is above any other religion.
When Christ returns, Christianity will be the only way because Jesus is the only way.

Religion itself will become the next mythology.

The words Christ and myth can`t really be forced into the same concept, they`re so opposite.
