You beated me!
I was just going to post this, but you already done it. Good on ya. Proves that I'm not the only one who thinks that things like this are relevant.
A couple of years back I also enjoyed reading "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur. Thesis: Joshua ben Joseph, aka Jesus, did not actually exist: "early Church leaders fabricated a literal and human Jesus based on ancient myths." (Mithras, Dionysus, Osirus, et al.) A very good read. Info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pagan_Christ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pagan_Christ
There is also the story of "Ya" v "El", two examples of the One-True-God, worshiped by competing proto-Jewish tribes, later merging into Yaweh, while letting their wives and children get scraped off and forgotten in the process.
Anyway, thanks.
