The ancient, pre-Christian world was filled with stories about superhuman gods, goddesses and heroes of all cultures whose purported lives on Earth abounded with miracles of all manner. By extraordinary human perseverance, along with the Council of Nacea - 325AD, one particular set of fabulous tales from one particular culture has become accepted as "true," while the myriad others are recognized as myths.

The acceptance as "history" of blatant fairy tales as the son of God born of a virgin who miraculously heals the sick, raises the dead, walks on water, transfigures on a mount, resurrects from death and ascends into heaven was told hundreds and even thousands of years before the supposed birth of Christ. Here's just a few:

Horus - 3000 BC

Born on Dec 25th
Dead for 3 Days - Resurrected

Attis - Greece - 1200 BC

Jesus Christ

Aka: the "Truth," the "Light," "King of Kings"

Keep in mind, all of the "Solar Messiahs" before Jesus Christ are known to be mythological characters in history. They did not exist, but the same story was told beforehand.  I repeat BEFOREHAND. Make of that what you may.

Here's a quote from Marshall Gauvin:

"The literature of the world is filled with invented characters; and the imaginary lives of the splendid men and women of fiction will forever arrest the interest of the mind and hold the heart enthralled. But how account for Christianity if Christ did not live? Let me ask another question. How account for the Renaissance, for the Reformation, for the French Revolution, or for Socialism? Not one of these movements was created by an individual. They grew. Christianity grew. The Christian church is older than the oldest Christian writings. Christ did not produce the church. The church produced the story of Christ."

Furthermore, inscribed about 3500 years ago on the walls at the Temple of Luxor in Egypt are images of the enunciation , miracle conception, the birth, and the
