The things that Christians say make Jesus special are the Virgin Birth, the Crucification, and the Resurection. Yet looking through History around the world there are the same stories about all of those things tied to other Deities. Deities that came long before Jesus.

Horus and Osiris from Egypt
Odin and Thor from Scandinavia
Attis, Ixion, Adonis, Prometheus, and Dionysis from Greece
Mithra from Persia
Baal and Taut of Phenicia
Krishna, Indra, and Budha Sakia, Deva Tat of India
Adad of Sumeria
Beddru and Mikado of Japan
Fohi and Tien of China
Atys of Lydus
Xamolxis of Mexico

And on and on. Why do Christians see Jesus as unique when it's obvious he's the same as all the other Deities that came before him?

Actually, most of the Deities above were Crucified and Resurrected as a part of their stories....just like Jesus.

None predicted it like He did. None were witnessed as there were over 500 to witness Jesus. None were part of a triune God, only triads. None led a sinless life. Jesus fulfilled many old testament prophecies.....the false gods you list fulfilled nothing.

First, the differences in most of these accounts (I admit I am not familiar with about 5 of them) outweigh the similarities; it is not really rational to state that the story of Christ is a "repeat" because a few parts of the story are similar

Secondly, similarity does not mean they are the same. George Washington and King George had something in common, but they were not the same, correct?

I don't know of any of them that died and rose from the dead! So where are all these "Dieties" today? It seems that they can't deliver on any of their promises!
