1). Aristotle's manuscript attestations = maybe 5, dated circa 1,000 years after the life of Aristotle.
2). Plato's manuscript attestions = maybe 2, dated circa 1,000 years after the life of Plato.
3). Socrates manuscript attestions = 0, only reason we know Socrates existed is because Plato wrote about him.

These individuals are by no means myths.

New Testament Manuscript attestions = over 6,000 dated withn 20 - 55 (depending on liberal or conservative scholarship c.f. Robinson's work "Redating The NT") years of the alleged life of Yahoshua; called "Jesus" as the transliterated form of his name in the Koine Greek lanugage.

If the most highly attested work of antiquity = myth in your worldview, you are entitled to your opinions (I believe Homer's Iliad coming in second.)

The point has nothing to do with the veracity of either an MMO or the Christian worldview. The point is to simply question the purpose of a passage of Scripture dealing with the cessation of the "Spiritual Gift" labelled by most Evangelicals as "tongues" when the "church" reaches it's completed, mature state (as documentable before 70CE before the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem) as it relates to what is being labelled as "Issue 17".

Edit: I was corrected, Plato is up to 7 MSS attestations.
