Anyway, please do go look up the story of how Horus became a god. You'll find it interesting how close the details of his story, and Jesus' (Yeshua, sorry) match.
Too much Bill Maher, Zeitgeist and Tom Harpur, I presume? These sources make a lot of wild claims, none of them are true.
Horus was not born on December 25th, but somewhere between October and November. Furthermore, the date of December 25th is never mentioned in the Bible as the date of Jesus’ birth and thus has no relevance to the account of Jesus’ life.
Horus was not born of a virgin - Isis was not a virgin, but rather a widow of the slain Osiris.
Three Wise Men who Came to see Horus has no parallel with the birth of Jesus. The Bible does not say three wise men came to see Jesus. It never tells us the number of wise men. And they did not come at Jesus’ birth in a manger. They came to his family home when he was a toddler.
Horus had 12 Disciples which are the 12 signs of the zodiac. They are just stars and not actual people who followed Horus, preached about him or recorded his life. This is another empty and false claim.
Horus was not crucified or dead for three days and resurrected. There is no historical record in any credible Egyptian mythology of Horus being crucified.
