A play: Celebant high priest god Julius Caesar is the star. Cleopatra vii Caesar's accomplice is the "virgin" co-star. Antony is the surrogate father.
Gaius Octavian Caesar is the baby and adopted hier to the emperorship of Rome.
Julius and Antony war over the star position. Antony claims he is the father of the legal hier so he is the legal god.
Octavian becomes Augustus and defeats Antony. The virgin is assassinated because she knows that Octavian was not born of a virgin.
Julius dies when Octavian is 14. Octavian assumes rulership and is very well accepted. He becomes Augustus. Augustus dies and rumors begin about his deity. The rumors about Augustus become myth and the myth becomes Jesus.

Augustus, (September 23, 63 BC – August 19, AD 14)
Julius Caesar, (July 12 or July 13, 100 BC or 102 BC – March 15, 44 BC)
I would think a little more time would have needed to pass for that story to become legend and rumor and then to become some sort of Jesus myth.

Like any good fiction it has a bit of truth in it. Cleopatra was not a virgin, no one ever said she was. You left out the part about Antony divorcing Octavian's sister to marry Cleopatra. That was the last straw which led to Antony and Octavian going to war.

The only problem is that History itself proves that Jesus ain't no myth.

This unsupported statement provided without cross referenced or supporting documentation has no relationship with either Christian history or the Catholic church.
I am not hurt by crude fictions unrelated to my religion.

Somebodies brainstorm taken from historical facts. Sorry I can't answer your question.
" If this hurts your feelings are you are Catholic " ? I don't know what Catholic has to do with the stupid story. And I don't understand " are you are Catholic ".

What? it's like you took Ancient Egypt and Shakespeare and mixed them together. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm just confused.

I'm Catholic, and alternative theories and/or conjecture do not hurt my feelings one little bit.
