I can't get myself to trust just Maxwell/Massey/Acharya S. rhetoric of existing evidence which I can't see.

I agree that Acharya's book was interpretive as far as trying to UN-define Christ, in fact it was a dreadful read and difficult. Yet that isn't the evidence that has most people scratching their heads. It is the near blatant similarities between the characters she claims he was based off of.
She really doesn't even have to do alot of convincing here for me. The mythologies hold their own weight. I have checked many of your links and none do any more than nit-pick on dates and minor discrepancies that in no way challenges the similarities as a whole. Most make a subjective attempt to pick on enough minor issues to cause doubt, and then cry foul because there are some minor discrepancies.
If it were just Horus, Dionysus, or Mithra and the similarities that border on exact matches on a couple maybe...but there are sooo many that it is undeniable that there is an existing blueprint out there that has been used over and over again. You can even remove Christ from this entire puzzle and still the the footprints remain of an archetype used over and again.
In fact if you read them all as one and it is a remarkable story. They kind of flesh each other out into to one big story. The rest of this is just semantics for me because most of it based on interpretation and conjecture that is relied upon just as bad as Acharya used in her own work. It's no wonder there are thousands denominations of Christianity. I think there is a spiritual crisis going on in this world for a very good reason.
Yet I am open to being wrong here, in fact that would be cool because this issue has alot of people asking questions. Screw all of the other literature on why anyone is or is not correct, the focus can stay only on the mythology to solve this riddle in my eyes. I would LOVE to understand more why the similarities are so remarkably alike amongst so many figures of worship in our ancient past, so I remain open to further proof along these lines only because the rest is just a quagmire of rhetoric that even the scholars cannot agree on.
