Let's be more specific, tunesmith...

Which exact parts of the Jesus story are you suggesting are mythical?

And are you familiar with the concept of allegory in religious tales and parables or do you feel that it all must be taken absolutely literally word for word?

As for "sinister movements within Christiant Churches"...NO! You can't mean it (gasp!). You mean to say that the Spanish Inquisition was not a social service organization devoted to peace and kindness? Well, I am shocked to my very core! :-) I thought that all church people were totally truthful, godly and perfect, and now you have got me very, very nervous (not!).

And the USA manipulating World Trade...hmmm...yes, I suppose there is a tiny little chance that something like that could be happening...sort of like the chance that politicians might sometimes be telling lies. Yeah. Could be something to that allright...

Oh, the angst! I shall not sleep well tonight.
