Im getting annoyed because i constantly hear the story of Jesus was copyrighted by Greek Mythology, but its not possible..what you think..?

I could be wring but were copyright laws even in existence back then? Anyways, In every religion, myth, or legend, SOMETHING can be traced back to something Biblical. Even American Indian lore tells of a great flood. It also tells of a day of darkness which could be referring to the darkness when Jesus was hanging on the cross. Greek mythology is merely man's way of explaining things while trying to remove Jehovah God from the picture.

Theres more similarity to Egyptian Theology and the life of Jesus, rather than any Greek theology.
However a lot of the early traditions and practices that form Christianity as we know it, were inspired by the Greek philosophers and manner of thinking of the early 1st-3rd century.
As for the comment that "All things trace back to the Bible" that, cannot be considerd true for religions that Pre-date both Jewish Scripture and Judaism in it's oral form.
Religions such as Kemeticism, Hinduism, the religions of Canan etc. In fact the Bible it'self seems to draw very heavily from Babylonian and Pre Babylonian culture and mythology(The Genesis Creation account for example), and scripture is non-existent before 650-720BC
