Is it all mythology?
Where, for example, did the “halos” surrounding paintings of Jesus Christ and Mary, Mother of Jesus, originate?
My readings revealed that the early Christian Church, finding itself squarely in opposition to other Middle Eastern deities (Mithra, deity of light in the Zoroastrian religion), and going all the way back to Ra, the ancient Egyptian deity (the Sun God), needed to, ahem, “borrow” the symbology that brought converts (and donations) to the priesthood of these and all other religions.
Thus, depictions of JC & His Mom always carried the famous halo of the divine, gaslighting all viewers that they were divine (they had to be divine–they had halos!).
Read through world history and you will find that essentially all governing hierarchies quickly developed a separate, elevated class of conniving sociopathic/psychopathic individuals who realized that everyday people could be cowed, threatened and fleeced by creating indecipherable superstitious mumbo jumbo.
We call this self-important, self-created class of influencers……. “priests.”
Mythology?

I think it’s kind of funny that there is even a debate. I don’t need to question truth. 

I see the existence of God everyday in the beauty of a morning sunrise.   I smell God in the sea air when near the shore.  I hear God when the wind whistles through the pines.  I feel God when I see the face of a newborn babe. I experience God when things go right and when they go wrong.  I know God’s presence when I pray the night before my prayers are answered the following day. I understand God when my prayers go unanswered forcing me to examine issues closer.   When God speaks it’s through all the senses and through emotion and reason. You just have to be open to experiencing him.  

There is a good YouTube video of an atheist from a generation of atheists who lamented his yearning for a connection to more than the material. One night he dreamed of a garden with a high wall and he tried so hard to climb the wall but failed, then Jesus appeared and calmly said why don’t you just use the door, it’s open. All you have to do is walk through. The next day the man found Christ when he went to a church and was greeted with open arms.

Jesus is no myth. Something happened 2000 years ago that was so profound it caused a movement among the people of the day and generations afterward.  Sure some of the details may be off but his story rings true. Why else would the faith have spread across the globe and endured so long?
