The supposed similarities between Jesus and Horus are non-existent. Seriously. It was made up whole cloth by atheists about a century ago. There was an Egyptian god named Horus but the things they say about him which supposedly parallel Jesus are fictional. Btw some versions of this fiction claim the Egyptian god Jesus was patterned after was Osiris. There is also no Gnostic "gospel" with a Jesus figure that preceded the NT gospels. You posted a link to tektonics.org which debunks these and many other fictions made up by atheists. Including the charge Jesus never existed. tektonics.org The fake "copycat" Jesus figures that are late fictions: tektonics.org Did Jesus exist? tektonics.org

In the Gnostic Gospels, there is a figure that existed perhaps 100 years BEFORE Jeezuz, taught much of the same stuff, and supposedly rose from the dead! One of many. Why did so many Jesus like figures preceed Jesus? That's embarrassing.

It's called "diabolical mimicry." religioustolerance.org Satan did it to deceive: Various early church writers, such as Irenaeus (Bishop of Lyons; circa 120 CE to ?) Justin Martyr (Christian apologist; 100 to 165), Tertullian (Christian theologian; circa 160 to 220 +) concluded that the Pagan/Christian similarities were a Satanic attempt at "diabolical mimicry." Satan was said to have use "plagiarism by anticipation." That is, the Devil made a pre-emptive strike against the gospel stories centuries before Jesus was born. The reason was to confuse the public into thinking that Jesus was merely a copy of previous god-men. The goal was to demolish the credibility of Christianity in the people's eyes. One might wonder why early Church writers were explaining away these contradictions if no such contradictions existed... SD
