Read the following 12 names of men who lived at the time of Jesus and look how similar their lives were to his
Adonis
Attis
Baal
Bacchus
Beddru
Dionysus
Horus
Jesus
Krishna
Mithras
Orpheus
Osiris
Thor
Here are some of the similarities in their life stories.
Born of a Virgin around December
Stars appeared at their births
Visited by Magi from the East
Turned water into wine
Healed the sick
Cast out Demons
Performed Miracles
Transfigured before followers
Rode Donkeys into the city
Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
Celebrated Communal meal with bread and wine
Which represented their flesh and blood
Killed on a cross or tree
Descended into hell
Resurrected on third day
Ascended into heaven
To forever sit beside God and become a divine judge.
What I want to know is how can fundamentalist Christians be so certain that Jesus was the Messiah when he had all this competition?

You’re exactly right. Most fundamental Christian biblical tales are merely re-tellings from the folklore and mythology of previous cultures. Also, almost every single culture has a flood story, and almost every single culture’s savior was at one time tempted by their version of the Devil. The only reason Chrisitan myths have gained more worldwide recognition is because the Roman Emporer Constantine converted to Christianity in the 4th century and since Rome controlled most of the civilised world back then, it had the springboard to grow into the prominence it wrongfully enjoys today.
