There has been an absolute flood of anti god, anti christian literature in recent years in the west.

I'd disagree with the whole Egyptian premiss. Christianity is an amalgamation of all sorts of religions, primarily Zoroastrian. It's said that three wise men visited Bambino Jesus, apparently they were from Persia, Zoroastrian Magi.
Here's an interesting article on:
Zoroastrianism & Christianity
It really is a cracking read!

So let's say Christianity has it roots in the past religions, this doesn't make the teaching of the Christ any less beautiful.
You have a choice to research the truth and history or read some blind clowns book and let the blind lead the blind.

I am not saying the messiah did not exist.
I am saying don't shoot the messenger.

I am always staggered by the way some people appear more than happy to abandon all reason to a fundamentalist belief.
I've even heard of Popes that are more tolerant of other religions than some of you guys:
"we worship and confess the same God though in diverse forms and daily praise and adore him as the creator of this world" - Pope Gregory VII to the Muslim Ruler of Mauritania
If you choose to belive in a God and Religion then please use it for good and peace, instead of anger and bigotry.

Try studying the facts. In St. Peters Square there stands an Egyptian Obelisk in a place of prominance. It was moved from the place where Christians were martyred. Constantine formed the Catholic church but was still a worshipper of Sol Invictus.
The Romans couldn't kill all the Christians so they took over the movement.

So the obelisk is a rather grisly reminder/trophy of acts occuring in the past. Significance? Another symbol of suffering like the cross.
Clearly you've got a direct line to the almighty, sadly some of us don't and so we struggle to make sense of the world by looking at inconvenient facts.
Matthew7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Sorry Stormdancer. I was referring to Joseph Campbell and some of these other clowns that ignore the archaeological evidence and write these books of nonsense. They lead so many astray who don't take the time to examine the evidence for themselves. They are the blind leading the blind.

Firstly I am guilty of not reading all the threads in this post but im about to head out to work so here is my question....This linkage made to the Jesus story by earlier Deity's like Horus, Mithra and others has how many reliable references made in literature ? I only really see Acharya S and her references to shady books and her own poetic license.

Take 10 minutes and poke around and you will find Baal is much more than that. Baal is Molech....Baal is Shamash....Baal is Dagon...Baal is Bel.
Look up Bel (Aramaic) and you will find Bel is Zeus. ETC. ETC. ETC. We can find Baal in Egypt as Ra...........Nimrod as Osiris
