McGrath of Harlow. Give Over! It's not just one element that's reoccurs, it's every element!! Listen very carefully, the story of Jesus is simply a rewrite of earlier myths! If you, and all the others, can't see that then there's only one explanation: you're in denial, and it's not that you can't see it - you simply refuse to see it, because, if you did. it would turn your cosy, safe world upside down and you don't fancy that at all.
