Only your bogus sources try to claim that it is "parallel".If Attis wasn't a savior in their faith, that parallel with Christianity is not true.

Alcmene WAS a virgin.Hercules was not born of a virgin. Is Yeshua a Demigod?
Not really. Most of the world would disagree with you on this claim. You are making a logical error. Just because the gnostic gospels may be untrustworthy does not mean that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are trustworthy.
Written by. Man bible not owning any of the names he assessed.Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were first hand eyewitnesses who lived with Jesus.

Perhaps, but they were not authors of any gospels.

1. Internal Evidence of Authorship
Within the four Gospels, one will find internal evidence of authorship. That is, the Gospels give clues who the writers were within the text itself. For instance, Matthew was a tax collector who was called by Jesus while sitting in the tax collector’s booth. The First Gospel notes that “As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at a tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him” (Matthew 9:9).[2]
Matthew’s Gospel goes into more detail on his calling (Matthew is called Levi in the other Gospels). Additionally, the Gospel provides a great deal of monetary details. Even if Matthew did borrow material from Mark’s Gospel (which would make sense since Mark obtained his information from Simon Peter), there is no reason to deny Matthean authorship to the First Gospel.
Information came from them, even if it was indirectly.
Thank you for admitting that you are wrong.Mark borrowing some details doesn't mean that he didn't write the gospel of Mark. 5 Reasons To Believe Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John Wrote The Gospels | Reasons for Jesus
What makes you think that? What evidence is there for such a connection?
Mark’s Gospel, who wrote down the words of Simon Peter, provides internal evidence that one who closely knew Simon Peter wrote the Second Gospel. Peter’s life experiences with Jesus is the prime focus of the Second Gospel.

Oh so wrong.How does Matthew borrowing some material from Mark mean that he didn't write the gospel of Matthew?
Oh so wrong.
The authors of all of the gospels were anonymous. There is no reason to think that they were named for the people that wrote them.
Firstly, the GT seems to be dependent on the earlier canonical gospels (Mark, Matthew, Luke, John). We see this in sayings 10 and 16 which are seen to be redactions of Luke 12:49, 51-52 and Matthew 10:34-35.
This suggests that Thomas’ author (not Thomas the disciple) is either already aware of these two gospels in circulation or is borrowing from an even later redaction of these two sources. Either way Thomas comes later than the canonicals which should render some doubt pertaining to its value.
And where do you think you can get writings of Peter from?Peter was a first hand eyewitness of the life of Jesus because he was one of the disciples.

As some theologians have observed, clear signs of embellishment can be seen in the exaggerated events narrated by the Gnostic texts, which is an exaggeration largely absent from the original canonical gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John. The argument is that the canonical gospels on the surface read much more like one would expect of accounts retelling actual history whereas the Gnostic texts do not.
For example, one might compare the Gnostic Gospel of Peter’s narration of Christ’s so-called triumphal exit from the burial tomb when God raised him from the dead to the version in the New Testament Gospel of John. In Peter, Christ exits the tomb accompanied by angels, followed by a talking cross, heralded by a voice from heaven, and this is all witnessed by a Roman guard, the Jewish leaders, and a multitude of spectators.
