It would be a leap of faith. The Egyptians obliterated the memory of the one 
Pharoah who dared it.

It is a belief; it is a belief in the non-existence of God.

Zeus is not the same as Jaweh. You do know that the Japanese word 'kami' is 
usually translated as 'god'? You do know that the concept of 'kami' is not 
the same as the concept of "God"? Jaweh was translated into Greek in much 
the same fashion. Pulling together a bunch of false cognancy doesn't prove 
anything. Deos is not Jaweh.

Ptah, ptooey; more false cognancy. Christ is derived from the Greek word for 
"anointed". Jesus was not Greek, but Jewish. The word he would use for 
anointed would be the Hebrew word, "messiah".

"Assume"...makes an "ass" of "u" and "me"; assumptions are anything but 
safe. Jesus is the Greek derivation of Yeshuwa, a Hebrew name meaning, "He 
will save". Horus, apparently, has no definition, being merely a falcon-
headed false god.

Oddly, Google leads me to a multitude of sites on "Jesus", and on "Jezeus", 
taken as words; but non seem to offer an authoritative etymology of the 
word. However, I will assert that this appears to be yet another false 
cognancy on your part; taking a coincidental similarity in the sounds of 
different words, from different languages, with totally different meanings. 
That Yeshuwa would be transliterated into Greek as Jesus would have more to 
do with the familiarity of pronunciation than an deeper meaning.

How would you pronounce 'karaoke'? "Carry-okie"? That is the most common 
pronunciation I have heard; yet, it is wrong. "Kaw-rah-oh-keh" would be 
closer, if still incorrect. And what does it mean? Most people (outside of 
Japan) probably would not even associate the 'kara' of 'karaoke' with the 
'kara' of 'karate'. What does singing music have to do with a martial art?

You are straining at gnats in your attempt to swallow camels! The rest is 
almost certainly more of the same.

"Holy" and "helio" are unrelated. You have built your entire argument on a 
handful of coincidences; false cognancies. As I have asserted, you work 
extra hard at disbelief. What fantastic effort to avoid facing your God!
