Or maybe he just knew that people like you would draw that [false] correlation and was trying to head it off.
How is the correlation false? Justin Martyr is considered a saintly church father whose writing greatly influence modern Christianity. The fact that earlier religions resemble Christianity isn't up for debate; Atheists have long pointed this out and Justin admits it. What we're debating here is Justin's lame excuse for why Jesus resembles these earlier myths. If your church father was convinced Jesus was a copy of earlier gods, why would you believe he's real?

Spam spam spam spam. Spam spam spam spam. Spammity Spaaaaam! Wonderful spam!

Seriously, though... what's not serious about the debate? I've offered a source and reasonable argument. Stop reading a "tone" into my posts.
