Then perhaps it would have been an idea to have simply said you’d heard this and ask if anyone knows if this is true, given the amount of total bullshit associated with this subject. Saying that “It's Jesus and Horus that are similar”, as though this is a fact, without checking this statement isn’t exactly “rational” or “skeptical”.
I get characteristically short-tempered with supposed “rationalists” who seem to accept any old crap they find lying around on the internet so long as it fits their prejudices about religion in general and Christianity in particular. Which means, over and over again, we find people perpetuating this tedious “Mithras/Jesus” and “Mithras/Horus” garbage when two minute’s checking would show that it’s a load of bollocks.
Alright, I suppose I should have said "supposed to be similar." My standards tend to drop a bit when I'm talking about subjects I dont really give a shit about and am too lazy to research thoroughly.
