Yea, that diety thing you bring up is wild. I remember digging into that and realizing every major religion has the same child of a god and then death to resurrection story in it. In the same order as all others. This is what baffles me as to the hate from some to the other. They share many ideals, but their gods bear different titles, that's about it.
Then you get a self proclaimed scholar that steps in and brainwashes a lot of people with their version of the faith. The faith itself is not the problem. The false prophets that push their own agenda taints something that can be pure for a good cause.

Good point about the rest of the myth (not just the birth). The whole thing is lifted from previous religions... As most religions do. In this case, they've just done a better job of hiding that fact. I'm with you on most of your post... Until you get to the whole faith thing. There *IS* something wrong with faith, and that is by its very nature. We are not omniscient. We are not gods. We are fallible. To recognize this fact, acknowledges that there are means by which we validate thought. Anything that short-cut this, ignores our fallibility and claims we have "other access to truth." But we aren't gods. Telling someone that anything they want to think can magically be true is abhorrent and just plain evil. (And the genesis of the vast array of atrocities in history.) Faith is little different than putting a 45 to someone's head and blowing their brains out. Except one is obvious the damage one is doing. The other is insidious.
