If anyone gets angry at that, it's more or less just a sign of weak faith. If that is all it takes to cause someone to get defensive, they are the ones with problems, not you. But I'm not a fair opinion. Atheist here, so not a Christian view.
That is certainly interesting information, however, my personal belief is not based on historicity, but on events that I have witnessed and been a part of, so this isn't really that convincing for me.

I wonder what the % is of people who have a personal-witness type testimonial story to why they believe as opposed to the % of people who believe only because "my parents raised me that way"
But there are things I just never could put an answer to:
If God can multiply the loaves and fishes then why are his people dying of starvation?
If God taught early man all they need to know to survive then why didn't humans learn that boiling water made it safe to drink earlier than the late Middle Ages?
One of my favorite old adages is "God helps those who help themselves."
I was gonna put this on my facebook but I'm not sure I'd like to deal with the backlash and anger I'll receive.
I would consider this provoking but isn't this something most people should know when taking there religion in, that the story of Jesus isn't all that original and some men before him performed the same miracles he did.
Bill Mahler?
Yawn. :coffeepap:
I've seen propaganda like this before. It's an inaccurate account of history to try to paint Christianity as a copycat religion. I've seen things regarding Horus, Mithra, and Zoroaster. All of it can easily be debunked by looking at history. Much of this was started by the Zeitgeist movie, which was nothing but anti-Christian propaganda. Here is a site that debunks the lie of the Jesus/Horus myth Jesus & Horus Parallels - A Christian Response

YouTube - Religulous - The similarities between Horus and Jesus
It doesn't end at Horus either, many "sons of god" found in the Mediterranean were very similar to the Jesus story
Hi everyone.I'd like to ask, since I don't know anything about Horus, although I did look at that video, if that is true, what was Horus's motivation? What did he act like? The Bible tells a complete story of a Father's love and of redemption. I have never in my life seen a charecter or read of a god in stories that was as completely and totally righteous in every way possible as the God of Israel and his Son Jesus. Since I've grown in my walk I've even been noticing even more than usual why all these other gods are not the True God. The simple fact is, they just aren't good enough to be my God.
