Therefore, the erecting of statues is an act of idolatry.
[[Atheism|Atheists]] claim that the story of [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] is a [[Mythology|myth]] just like all other [[Paganism|pagan]] accounts of heroes, gods and goddesses.<br />
[[The Gospel]] story does connect by analogy with the [[Mythology|myths]] of other religions because it is dealing with the same themes and symbols of dying and rising, light and darkness, good and evil.<br />
But the similarity of the gospel story to the fictions of pagan myth does not mean that it is therefore just a made-up fairy tale or fable. No. The historical evidence for the essential [[Historicity of Jesus|facticity of the gospels]] is sound.<ref>[https://strangenotions.com/gospels-myth/ Are the Gospels a Myth? by Fr. Dwight Longenecker (strangenotions.com)]</ref> The analogy of the Christian Gospel to the fictions of pagan mythology as proof that it is only a myth with no historical basis in reality is false.
