At least with Egyptian mythology you are only inches away from being a Christian.
Jesus and Horus: A Match Made in Heaven
Jesus: Born of a virgin.
Horus: Born of a virgin.
Jesus: Father is almighty God.
Horus: Father is almighty God.
Jesus: Born in a manger.
Horus: Born in a manger.
Jesus: Birth witnessed by shephards.
Horus: Birth witnessed by shephards
Jesus: The story stops at 12. Picks up at 30.
Horus: The story stops at 12. Picks up at 30.
Jesus: Baptized at 30.
Horus: Baptized at 30.
Jesus: Baptiser beheaded.
Horus: Baptiser beheaded.
Jesus: Taken from a desert by Satan to be tempted on a mountain.
Horus: Taken from a desert by Set to be tempted on a mountain.
Jesus: Twelve disciples.
Horus: Twelve disciples.
Jesus: Walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind. He ordered the sea with a "Peace, be still" command.
Horus: Walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind. He "stilled the sea by his power."
Jesus: Crucified.
Horus: Crucified.
Jesus: Rose from the dead three days later.
Horus: Rose from the dead three days later.
Jesus: Was met at the entrance of his tomb by three women.

Jesus: Transfigured on a mountain.
Horus: Transfigured on a mountain.
Jesus: To reign for 1,000 years in the Millennium.
Horus: To reign for 1,000 years in the Millennium.
The real difference? The Horus story happened long, long, long before the Jesus one.
