OK then, let's compare the historocity, as actual persons, of the Egyptian god seti with that of Jesus Christ. Either way, the evidence for Jesus is far superior. So much so that as we span the scope of human history and ask ourselves,"If God ever did come down to Earth and show Himself to us, when in history did He do it?" the clear answer is in the person of Christ. His life had more impact on human progress than any other person.

Furthermore, we are not voting. If voting is what makes something true, then Clinton was a better man than Bush I. Something can be true even when the majority declares, for motives of their own, that it is false.

I also take issue with your claims for the dates. We have scrapes and fragments of the gospels from the first century, or at worst the beginning of the second. That would be within one lifetime of the recorded events. Mark was likely written by about 60 AD by a man who was Peter's confidant. John was written by an eyewitness apostle. I don't want to stop to look it up now, but I remember the other two gospels were written by an eyewitness and the "secretary" of an eyewitness (Luke).

Josh McDowell's The new Evidence that Demands a Verdict" goes into great detail about the truth of this, if you care to know it.

OK, let's do that. Seti was a great pharaoh (and therefore a god) and the father of a greater one. He built temples all over Egypt (most notably at Abydos and Luxor). His name and deeds are written on stone, plaster and papyrus in copious amounts. And if you would like to meet him, his mummy currently resides in the Cairo Museum.

If you are interested in checking out the Ancient Egyptian religion (which was an active religion for twice the length of time Christanity has been around) in its modern manifestation you can go to: http://www.netjer.org/home/. I'm not a believer but I find this group amusing.
