i.e. merely stating that Jesus Christ was a real person doesn't make it so

I didn't say no. I simply stated that many of the claims for Horus and 
Jesus are identical, and since the Egyptian god predated Christ, that 
gives cause for speculation about the accuracy of the claims made about 
Jesus. And since you have snipped them, I repost them below..

The Egyptian sun god Horus (or one of the gods to whom he has been 
assilimated, such as Osiris or Ra) predated the Christ character by 
thousands of years and shares the following in common with Jesus:

     Isis Horus Madonna ChildHorus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on 
December 25th in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star 
in the East and attended by three "wise men."

     His earthly father was named "Seb" ("Joseph"). Seb is also known as 
"Geb": "As Horus the Elder he...was believed to be the son of Geb and 
Nut." --Lewis Spence, Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends, 84.

     He was of royal descent.

     At age 12, he was a child teacher in the Temple, and at 30, he was 
baptized, having disappeared for 18 years.

     Horus was baptized in the river Eridanus or Iarutana (Jordan) by 
"Anup the Baptizer" ("John the Baptist"), who was decapitated.

     He had 12 followers and/or fellow gods, two of whom were his 
"witnesses" and were named "Anup" and "Aan" (the two "Johns").

     He performed miracles, exorcised demons and raised El-Azarus 
("El-Osiris"), from the dead.

     The Egyptian god walked on water.

     His personal epithet was "Iusa," the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah," 
the "Father." He was thus called "Holy Child."

     Horus was transfigured on the Mount.

     The Egyptian god/Osiris was killed, buried for three days in a 
tomb, and resurrected.

     Horus, Osiris and/or Ra were called the "Way, the Truth, the 
Light," "Messiah," "God's Anointed Son," the "Son of Man," the "Good 
Shepherd," the "Lamb of God," the "Word made flesh," the "Word of 
Truth," etc.

     The Egyptian god was "the Fisher" and was associated with the Fish 
("Ichthys"), Lamb and Lion.

     He came to fulfill the Law.

     The Egyptian god/Osiris was called "the KRST," or "Anointed One."

     Like Jesus, "Horus was supposed to reign one thousand years."

Furthermore, inscribed about 3,500 years ago on the walls of the Temple 
at Luxor were images of the Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Birth 
and Adoration of the pharaoh Amenhotep (Horus), with Thoth announcing to 
the queen that she will conceive; with the god Amun impregnating the 
queen; and with the infant being attended by "kings" bearing gifts. In 
addition, in the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being 
held by the virgin mother Isis--the original "Madonna and Child."

Do you not find it curious that there are so many identical claims?
