Haha Bfs

girl i saw someone on tiktok talking about the whole “christianity just stole their story from the ancient egyptian’s religion” and at one point the dude said that horus and jesus would’ve had the same birthday and ugh its so stupid cause the egyptians didn’t even have the same calendar as us, how did that even come to be?

Ohhh that old bullshit. The whole thing is bullshit as Egyptians don’t even seem to have documented birthdays, but I digress. It makes a mockery of both Egyptian religion, and Christianity, and I usually see it touted by a certain type of atheist as a ‘gotcha’. I don’t know where it came from, but it seems to have been around for a long while, much like the Ishtar/Easter thing which is equally bullshit. It usually stems from people who want to actively discredit someone’s religious beliefs by ‘oh you guys just stole everything from X religion’ so by extension you’re an idiot. None of the things listed as similarities are even true:

Virgin birth? Nope Isis and Osiris banged to get Horus. Admittedly postmortem as a bird and a reassembled dead guy, but it was definitely sex. Plus the Egyptians didn’t believe in virginity.

Same birthday? Even Jesus’ birthday isn’t December 25th. Egyptians don’t have birthdays, and gods certainly don’t. Feast days, sure. Not birthdays.

Born in a cave, heralded by a star? Nope. Horus was born and grew up amongst Papyrus reeds to hide from Seth who was trying to kill him because Seth was ‘king’

Horus was baptised? Lol no. Egyptians have no such thing

12 disciples? Nope. He did have 4 sons though

Performed miracles and exorcised demons? Well he can do miracles…he’s a god. But demons? Not really unless you deal with duat stuff. Even then it’s not exorcising them. The most documented thing he killed was a Hippo in a boat race with Seth. 

Horus referred to as a Holy Child? ahahahahaha that’s not even a phrase in the Egyptian language. Great god is, but not ‘holy child’. There is ‘divine child’ but that refers to any child of the gods, and also the pharaoh. 

Horus was crucified and resurrected? NOPE. It’s literally forbidden in Egyptian religion to talk about or portray a god dying or being dead. Even Osiris, who is a resurrected dead guy, isn’t referred to as being dead. Horus doesn’t die in any mythology, though I should note that in Egyptian religion gods *can* die. 

So y’know. It’s all bullshit. Elements and motifs of previous religions can make their way into newer religions purely due to the gradual change from old to new over the centuries. Some things just hold over. Is the ‘divine mother and child’ motif unique to either Christianity or Egyptian religion? Nope. Does that invalidate either of them? Also nope. Cultures can have similarities without them having ‘copied’ from each other.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either
