well i just saw religulous, that new movie with bill maher and directed by the director of borat.
to me the most interesting part of the movie(im athiest btw) is when maher talks about horus the egyptian god, and krishna the hindu god. both of them predate jesus by around 1000 years, but have a ton of similarites with jesus, especially horus. some persian god was also pretty similiar to jesus. by similiar i mean the whole virgin mom, resurection, december 25 stuff.
this got me to believe that the christians "stole"the story of jesus from these cultures, like how the jews "stole" the story of the 40 days flood thing from the mesopotamians. i guess a better word would be borrowed. just goes to show about what religion really is
