All but your last point about Paul which I strongly disagree with are examples of events that either post dated Christianity which BTW began over three hundred years prior to the council of Nicea and Constantine's conversion. You should read more than the Da Vinci Code for your sources. Here is something a little more scholarly to read.

answers.org

"I am saying nearly all of early Christian works were destroyed and there was no evidence left to contradict what the former high priest of Mithra said is Christianity."

Factually untrue. You don't seem to have a very good grasp of the early church Fathers and the vast amount of writing that they did which is accessible to this day; which corroborate the New Testament texts.

"I am saying that Paul, in his attempt to persuade the pagan masses to his side incorporated so much of their beliefs in his sermons that he replaced the movement from reformation of Judaism to something very different that would be palatable to the average pagan."

What would you offer as evidence for such an assertion? Post it here. I am not going to read another entire thread to find answers that you seem to know so well.
