An interesting article.
The Leading Religion Writer in Canada ... Does He Know What He's Talking About?

"Acording to Harpur, Christian scholars have a vested interest in maintaining the myth that there was an actual Jesus who lived in history. First, he insists, there was "the greatest cover-up of all time" at the beginning of the fourth century; and thousands of Christian scholars are now participants in this on-going cover-up.

This perspective misses the fact that, for several generations, there have been professors of religious and biblical studies who are Jewish, Unitarian, members of every Christian denomination -- and many of no professed religious persuasion. And there are no religious tests for chairs in Egyptology. Presumably, the Jewish, Unitarian, secular and many very liberal Christians who happen to be recognized scholars have no axes to grind regarding whether or not Jesus actually lived, or whether most of the ideas found in the Bible stem from Egyptian or other Near Eastern religion."

I think that this guy is some what delusional if he wants to take up a sword with over a billion people across the world, but hey, what ever...

... But the more people get mad at him, the more publicity he gets... The more people buy into his propaganda... It's probably just a ploy to sell his s**t.

Unfortunately the connection is already popular. I mean you see people say that Jesus is a rip off of Horus quite frequently on the internet.

If only Horus' deity mother hadnt ******** his deity father then there wouldn't be any damn talk of any damn hippie that preached about loving people and throwing stones in glass houses.
