Didn't realize it was a rehash. As far as their denials it's all they know to do. They're afraid of hell fire.

Oh, by this point pretty much anything is a rehash here There are a lot of correlations between several earlier mythologies and Christianity. The Christians are well-known to have scavenged their religious bits from those earlier ones. It was their way of incorporating "heathen" populations more easily into Christianity -- by giving them familiar gods and legends that compared closely to their own.

Well, and to add to that there are also a flood epics that were written way before the Christians' biblical one.

It's not just Horus - there's also Mithras, Dionysus, Bacchus, Zarathustra, Hercules, Ra, Krishna, Attis and a host of other "Man-Gods" who were resurrected saviors/prophets/miracle workers that the authors of the Jesus myth borrowed from.

The archetype of the solar man-god, born of a virgin, slain and risen, spans many cultures and many times.
