you may enjoy reading the pagen christ by tom harpur. it delineates the differneces between the literalists and the symbolists in regard to the jesus myth. i found it a great discussion of the god/man myths that have been with us for centuries.

i have far less doubt now, after watching "the fabric of time" (about the turin shroud) regarding whether jesus lived or not....i feel quite sure he did. i always felt close to this teacher anyhow, who i feel is synonymous with teachers such as buddha.

yes, the bible was altered, etc etc.
as for the other stories from other religions/ cultures in the past which sound like the story of jesus, one question i find these researchers haven't asked is: what about the possibility of reincarnation and/ or prophecy?

this alone could explain why these messiah gods in persia, etc, sounded so similar to jesus.

i'll always keep an open mind though.

that is until i can learn to fully become a "master" and tune into perfectly tuned intuition (which in many cases can become confused with other stuff until fully developed....such is the nature of life).
