A lot of what is accepted about Jesus is directly pulled from other mythologies.

Example = 12/25 birthday.

HORUS An Ethiopian-Sudanese God, born 25th December, by a Virgin around 3,000 YEARS before Jesus.

Hercules was not born of a virgin. Anyone who knows the myth can tell you that.

Also, the Buddha is not a god and not Nepali and not born of a virgin.

This list is nonsense.

I totally believe Hercules was a virgin birth, every bit as much as Jesus was!

See, ~~Chad~~ ~~Zeus~~ God came to them in their dreams, and “blessed” them with a baby. Who is Joseph or any other man to challenge a woman’s word on divine intervention?

Honestly, I'm more annoyed by the list calling Buddha a Nepali god who was born of a virgin on the 25th of December since not a single word of that beyond "Buddha" is what any Buddhist claims.

Thank you for this list.
