If you read "The Pegan Christ" you will see that the stories of Christ actually come from older, pagen religions dating from before Jesus was said to be born - the nativity story, fishes and loaves, crucifixion, resurrection, virgin birth, etc. All of these pegan myths were combined into one religion for political reasons -- to control and unite diverse peoples under one system of belief.

CS Lewis was wrong. There is another way to look at the story of Christ -- as a myth, with historical references that prove it so.

According to the Bible Jesus never claimed to be 'God', or was any more the son of God than anyone else. If he had The Pharisees would have felt justified stoning him. Instead, they tried to get Herod and Pilate to do the dirty work. He did claim to be the 'Son of Man,' and very often asked who people believed he was.

The "pegan" myth is unenlightened.

But incidentallly Pokkets, Jesus did say that he was God and the Pharisees did feel justified in stoning Him. Jesus didn't get stoned anyway.
John 10:30-38 keeping in mind the Hebrew thought process of the time came from the first 5 books of the Bible... specifically Deut 6:4 Where it says that "the Lord our God is One Lord." When Jesus said in that chapter in John, "I and my Father are One." To the Jew it meant that He was calling Himself part of the Godhead else they would not have accused Him of Blasphemy.
As far as the scenario of the first comment about the myths all bundled together in one clever story I would say that this is an excuse of many.
