yeah and they both related to the nature of the sun.
same example as the greek mythology, but horus with more scientific knowledge.

i find it funny that he requests that everyone else post referenced facts and sources, then dismisses the facts posted, and proceeds to pass more of his fairy tail off as 'fact'.

Someone answer this for me.
If you have so much knowledge in Christianity, tell me why you follow the King James version, or the NIV bibles for that matter.
It is very clear that there are many mistranslation OR possible mistranslations of the modern biblical text. People only understanding English are so clueless to this, and it is actually quite amusing.
For a lot of words in Greek, for instance, there are multiple translations for those words. The original translators (conveniently from the church) had the option to choose meanings that better suited their purpose. For example, the first line of the "old testament" originally speaks of "Elohim". Elohim roughly means "people from the sky". It is plural.
Also, I do not think anyone here is qualified to debate about the matter.
And. I believe religion can help people for their own reasons. People are not wrong for what they believe, but if they try to justify a sacred text they should be prepared for a backlash, and this especially goes for Christians since the text of the bible was lost on several occasions and rewritten over and over again.

1.) god is pleased by people having faith in him
2.) people have faith / are lead to him through suffering
3.) god is omnipotent and has the power to stop the suffering but does not.
this mean god is deriving pleasure by causing suffering. that is the text book definition of psychopath.
the god you worship is a psychopath.

Get what you want and not what you don't want... fruit salad... but not pea salad... french fries.... chicken... but no veggies...
You get to go through and pick what you want and don't want... which is what people are doing with God today...
I'll take a little bit of the grace of God, but I don't want any judgment please...
I'll take this verse that says God blesses me, but no discipline.
I like the verse that says He has plans to prosper me and to bless me, not to hurt me... but I don't like that verse that says to be generous...
God created us in His image... and many of us are returning the favor...
The problem is people forget, at the end of the line... you have to pay.

Your response (to me telling you that if you are going to say something I disagree with, then you need to quote it) is to say that you will continue to state it without quoting it or presenting evidence for your statement?
