I think the measure of truth just boils down into a fight of which god can eat the most hot dogs in under a minute or some other subjective measure like that.

Is that defined as Ballpark Theology (any where in the ball park is a home run) or Cafeteria Theology (mix & match to suit your personal taste). I believe the error of either is obvious.
One word, to sum up a very broad subject: Resurrection
I realize that the belief in the resurrection of Jesus is at the heart of the Christian religion but there is no physical evidence that such an event ever happened and you're accepting it on faith in the same way that any other believer of another religion accepts their own beliefs. If Jesus was resurrected, then what ever happened to him and why didn't he come back to earth like he promised he would? Isn't two thousand years a long enough time that it kind of makes you wonder if he really isn't coming back at all?

Oh! So then you must be a believer in Osiris? Or Baal? Mithras? Tammuz? Krishna? Lahiri Mahasaya? Dionysus/Bacchus Or any of the dozens of other gods and "sons of god" who died and were resurrected (were born of a virgin, turned water to wine etc etc), decades to hundreds and even thousands of years before the Christ myth was born...

Yes, they are all products of one another. But the hardcore Xtians will deny history and reality to suit their own religious agenda. They're good at that.
