I can't think of one original aspect of christianity. The entire first half is taken from Judeism. The holidays are "borrowed" pagan rituals. The idea of a god coming to Earth and performing tricks to impress people had been done allot. The resurection had also been done several times before. Not only is the bible a poor work of fiction it's mostly plagerized.

I'm sorry I didn't add proof. I thought most of it was common sense. So let me tell you about Hercules. He was the son of a god and a mortal woman. He preformed many superhuman tasks to help people. He died. Was brought back to life by his dad and taken to live with the gods. Replace Herc with jesus. Sound familiar in any way??????????

Any history class disproves about half of what you are saying, the rest, having some validity does not change the fact that there are many original aspects to Christianity. Any developmental process borrows what is unknown from the past to fill in the blanks and as a basis for understanding, so why would anyone be surprised that ALL religions do this too. However each religion adds twists and a new view, interpretation or philosophy.
You cannot take a old ford, strip it, rebuild it, add new parts and paint and motor and call it the same car.
If you are going to make any assertions like the ones you have you need to offer proof or preface it as your opinion.

Sound familiar? Its almost a word for word replay! Wow!
Those wonderful things Hercules did (except it was his punishment for murdering his wife and Kids)
Zeus disguised himself and impregnated Alcmene who conceived Hercules (almost the same as the bible - except the angel Gabriel explained to her how she would conceive, she wasn't tricked into a sexual relationship, and unlike Alcmene, Mary was a virgin)
Hercules was one of a set of twins (well, that's close to the birth of Jesus, right? One or two, what's the difference?)
Hercules was brought up with warrior skills. (Jesus was a carpenter, educated in the scriptures, but the similarity is so close)
Hercules fathered 51 children, was sold into slavery to the Queen of Lydia, and his death was brought about by putting on a poisoned shirt.
Oh, why hasn't anyone noticed this compelling similarity til now?!

I highly disagree with you. First of all, the holidays are NOT borrowed from pagan rituals!!! Jesus IS coming back to earth one day soon, and you had BETTER be ready. Everything the Bible says is true. Check this- all the events are happening now that the Bible says would happen. That is NOT just a coincidence!!!!!! God knows every move you make, everytime you breathe, how many times your heart beats in 30 seconds...and much, MUCH more!!!!!!! He knows how many days we all have left before we die. I trust Him as my Savior and Lord.

Paul disciple of Christ plagerized to the death,Peter plagerized to the death was so enamored in Christ refused to be crucified in typical fasion was Crucified upside down as he did not deserve to die as Christ had. A good book for you would be Josh Mc Dowell A ready Defense deals with Apologetics, you need to look at your spiritual ignorance! ADDENDUM: Hercules die on the cross? was it predicted 700 years before it happened, How many people died believing Hercules was their lord and saviour? How many people had conversion experiences with hercules. Again if you are going to spout garbage better check facts with fiction May God Bless you!
