While xtian myths borrow heavily from existing mythology. The Horus one is a tenuous one to pull out, especially since there is a lot of misinformation an educated theist can embarass you with. The stuff in Maher's Religulous was stretching what is known about Horus a little far to prove the connection.
EDIT: The physical evidence for much of this quotes claims are tenuous. Horus was not born of a virgin mother, Isis was married to Osirus and Horus was conceived from a "substitute" penis after putting Osirus back together again(he got hacked up for some reason and his penis thrown in a river). Angels didn't proclaim the birth. He had 4 disciple demi-gods not 12.
A lot of this stuff comes from a guy called Massey, who was a poet, and his theories were not supported by egyptologists as far as I know.

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
