I recommend the “Case for the Real Jesus” by Lee Strobel to you. You will find that what you are saying is nothing more than a modern myth.

The ancients knew different, they knew the old mythologies well, and if the Gospels were just a plagiarism of them, they would have been rejected outright.

You must have a different definition of virgin birth than I do. If a virgin birth is someone conceived without sexual intercourse, then there are plenty of examples from cultures all over the globe.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that the Gospels were plagiarized from Gilgamesh, Perseus, or other myths. It just means that men fathered by gods are a common theme in world religion.
