It turns out that Jesus isn't all that special in terms of resurrection.
I've been seeing a lot of pseudoapologetics recently that assert that Christianity is the one true religion because Jesus is the only god who rose from the dead.
Yeah, not so much.
At least 6 other gods died and were resurrected prior to Jesus:
Horus c. 3000 BCE
Osiris c. 3000 BCE
Attis of Phrygia c.1400 BCE
Krishna c. 1400 BCE (possibly as early as 5771 BCE)
Mithra of Persia c. 600 BCE
Dionysus c. 186 BCE
Apparently, humanity demands a sacrifice. A long line of sacrifices.

Horus Worshippers
horus, jesus, egyptian, osiris, osirus, mary, lazarus, isis, religion, christian, bible, jews, god,
The next time someone talks to you about Jesus, ask them why they are mispronouncing his name. After all, the god they are worshipping, isn't Jesus, it's the Egyptian god Horus. Don't believe me? Let's examine the stories of Jesus and Horus.
Horus came first. In fact, the Horus stories had been common for centuries (in fact, Horus is mentioned around 3,000 BCE) in the Middle East prior to the coming of the Jewish messiah. And the Jews, shall we say, "borrowed" a little from the common mythology.
Horus' mother was named "Meri", and he was the only son of the god Osiris.
Jesus' mother was named "Mary", and he was the only son of the god Yhwh.
Horus' foster father was Jo-seph.
Jesus' foster father was Joseph.
Horus' earthly family was of royal descent.
Jesus' earthly family was of royal descent.
Horus' birth was announced to his mother by an angel.
Jesus' birth was announced to his mother by an angel.
Horus' birth was witnessed by shepards.
Jesus' birth was witnessed by shepards.
Horus' birth was later witnessed by three solar deities.
Jesus' birth was later witnessed by three "wise men".
While Horus was an infant, Herut tried to have him murdered.
While Jesus was an infant, Herod tried to have him murdered.
There is no information on Horus between the ages of 12 and 30.
There is no information on Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30.
Horus was baptized in a river by Anup the Baptiser. Anup was later beheaded.
Jesus was baptized in a river by John the Baptist. John was later beheaded.
Horus was tempted by being taken from the desert of Amenta up a high mountain by his arch-rival Sut. Sut (a.k.a. Set) was a precursor for the Hebrew Satan.
Jesus was taken from the desert in Palestine up a high mountain by his arch-rival Satan.
Both Horus and Jesus resist temptation.
Horus walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind. He "stilled the sea by his power."
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 raised Osirus, his dead father, from the grave.
Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave.
Horus' resurrection of Osirus occurred in Anu, an Egyptian city where the rites of the death, burial and resurrection of Horus were enacted annually.
Jesus' resurrection of Lazarus occurred in Bethany. Hebrews added their prefix for house ('beth") to "Anu" to produce "Beth-Anu" or the "House of Anu." Since "u" and "y" were interchangeable in antiquity, "Bethanu" became "Bethany," the location mentioned in John 11.
Origin of Lazarus' name: Asar was an alternative name for Osirus, Horus' father, who Horus raised from the dead. He was referred to as "the Asar," as a sign of respect. Translated into Hebrew, this is "El-Asar." The Romans added the prefix "us" to indicate a male name, producing "Elasarus." Over time, the "E" was dropped and "s" became "z," producing "Lazarus."
Horus gave the Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount.
Horus died by crucifixion, accompanied by two thieves and was buried in a tomb.
Jesus died by crucifixion, accompanied by two thieves and was buried in a tomb.
Horus descended into Hell and was resurrected after three days.
Jesus descended into Hell; resurrected after about 30 to 38 hours (Friday PM to presumably some time in Sunday AM) covering parts of three days.
Horus' resurrection was announced by women.
Jesus' resurrection was announced by women.
Horus, it is said, will rule for 1,000 years (at some unidentified future time.)
Jesus, it is said, will rule for 1,000 years (at some unidentified future time.)
I say, from now on, we stop even discussing Jesus with anyone. We need to figure out when Horus' reign will be and get on that bus.
