They likely inspired parts of the bible. Baal is weirder and in some versions fights Yahweh but sometimes Yahweh is refered to as Baal. Osiris has a neat resurrection story. Great snake myth, flood story, lots of interesting stuff
Osiris’ resurrection narrative is completely different to Jesus’. The Baal cults are mentioned in the Bible as well as the polytheism that broke out with Yahweh being added to pagan pantheons. So there isn’t really a problem here- Kind of like how some Shinto Japanese practices incorporated Christian practices into them. Doesn’t make Christianity Shinto.
The flood story appearing in numerous eastern cultures would be expected if the flood actually happened, so if anything, it adds credibility to the narrative that there was.a significant flood.
Which snake myth are you referring to? I see several about Norse and Siberian, far away from the Hebrew Israelites.
Don’t see how either have anything to do with Jesus
Now you have something to research
Okay. Found this.

Osiris is mentioned once in passing. Baal twice for a moment. Not what I was referencing but keep at it
Is this what you’re referring to?
Probably. I’m not going to watch through some dogshit starting with a false dichotomy about Jesus never existing
What was your claim, then? You just name dropped Osiris and told me to research it without any further explanation.
