Hundreds of religion are faith based including the popular islam.

More than twenty claims of this kind - claims of being invested with divine honor (deified) - have come forward and presented themselves at the bar of the world, with their credentials, to contest the verdict of Christendom, in having proclaimed Jesus Christ, "the only son, and sent of God:" twenty Messiahs, Saviors, and Sons of God, according to history or tradition, have in past times, descended from heaven, and taken upon themselves the form of men, clothing themselves with human flesh, and furnishing incontestable evidence of a divine origin, by various miracles, marvelous works, and superlative virtues

And finally these (more than) twenty Jesus Christs (accepting their character of the name) laid the foundation for the salvation of the world, and ascended back to heaven:
Adad of Assyria
Adonis, son of the virgin Io of Greece
Alcides of Thebes
Atys of Phrygia
Baal and Taut, "the only Begotten of God," of Phoenicia
Bali of Afghanistan
Beddru of Japan
Buddha Sakia of India
Cadmus of Greece
Crite of Chaldea
Deva Tat, and Sammonocadam of Siam
Divine Teacher of Plato
Fohi and Tien of China
Gentaut and Quexalcote of Mexico
Hesus of Eros, and Bremrillah, of the Druids
Hil and Feta of the Mandaites
Ischy of the Island of Formosa
Ixion and Quirnus of Rome
Holy One of Xaca
Indra of Tibet
Jao of Nepal
Krishna of Hindostan
Mikado of the Sintoos
Mohammed, or Mahomet, of Arabia
Odin of the Scandinavians
Prometheus of Caucasus
Salivahana of Bermuda
Thammuz of Syria
Thor, son of Odin, of the Gauls
Universal Monarch of the Sibyls
Wittoba of the Bilingonese
Xamolxis of Thrace
Zoar of the Bonzes
Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia
Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and Orus, of Egypt
In order to appreciate the comparison that follows, we offer some information about who Horus is and how he fits into Egyptian culture:
P’TAH (Gods of Heaven came to Earth from the Celestial Disk) installed as Egypt’s first Divine Ruler his own son RA and
RA then divided the Egyptian kingdom between the ’gods’...
OSIRIS and SETH who fought over control of the kingdom.
After OSIRIS was killed, resuscitated and resurrected, his place on the throne was taken over by his son...
HORUS, whose mother was ISIS.
Then HORUS was given Upper and Lower Egypt by the Lord of the Earth thus becoming the legitimate heir in the RA-OSIRIS line of succession, establishing that kingship had a perpetual divine connection.
(To understand Egyptian history, one must read Sitchin’s books about the Sumerian civilization and its connection to Egypt.)

Some say that the Christian religion came directly out of the Egyptian religion; at least, it was the probable source of the origins of Christianity. Be it further noted that Zecharia Sitchin in The Lost Realms (page 183), claims that the Sumerian ENKI was the Egyptian P’TAH, the Sumerian MARDUK was the Egyptian RA and NINGISH was the Egyptian THOTH. Now let’s compare the Egyptian HORUS with the Christian JESUS CHRIST.

A List of the similarities between Horus and Jesus:
Horus and the Father are one.
Jesus says, "I and My Father are one. He that seeth Me, seeth Him that sent Me."

Horus is the Father seen in the Son.
Jesus claims to be the Son in whom the Father is revealed.

Horus was the light of the world, the light that is represented by the symbolical eye, the sign of salvation.
Jesus is made to declare that He is the light of the world.

Horus was the way, the truth, the life by name and in person.
Jesus is made to assert that he is the way, the truth, and the life.

Horus was the plant, the shoot, the natzar.
Jesus is made to say: "I am the true vine."

Horus says: It is I who traverse the heaven; I go round the Sekhet-Arru (the Elysian Fields); Eternity has been assigned to me without end. Lo! I am heir of endless time and my attribute is eternity.
Jesus says: " I am come down from Heaven. For this is the will of the Father that everyone who beholdeth the Son and believeth in Him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." (He, too, claims to be lord of eternity.)

Horus says: " I open the Tuat that I may drive away the darkness."
Jesus says: " I am come a light unto the world."

Horus says: I am equipped with thy words O Ra (the father in heaven) (ch.32) and repeat them to those who are deprived of breath. (ch.38). These were the words of the father in heaven.
Jesus says: " The Father which sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak. Whatsoever I speak, therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. The word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me."
A comparative list of some pre-existing types to Christianity shows further how these types were brought on in the canonical Gospels and the Book of Revelation:

In addition, an extensive excerpt from Comparative Cosmology by Akif Manaf J., Ph.D. is posted here.

Excerpt from Churchward’s Book Of Religion, first published in 1924:
Similarities between Krishna and Christ:
Both are held to be really god incarnate
Both were incarnated and born of a woman
The mother in each case was a holy virgin
The father of each was a carpenter
Both were of royal decent
Each had the title of "Savior"
Both were "without sin"
Both were crucified
Both were crucified between two thieves
Each taught of a great and final day of judgment

Actually, ALL religions are based on faith. It takes "faith" to believe a man lives in the sky. It takes faith to believe in ridiculous stories and characters like talking snakes, flying chariots, dragons, unicorns, virgin births and other senseless crap.

There are 33,000+ denominations in Christianity. Jehovah witnesses will guarantee that Redeem members are going to hell because they do not teach the "word of god". Lord's chosen members are cock sure, pun intended, that Christ embassy members are going to hell. Probably because of Oyakhilome's Jerry curl and his wave in this picture





Or maybe, the fact the Jesus' alleged virgin birth. In that case, they should read excerpts from this article



Still on the matter!

Lol, even a fellow atheist sees the OP is contradicting himself.

Do you know what contradict even means?

He was only asking me to spread my love to islam too.
Don't be quick to talk when you don't understand what you read.

You contradict your OP which says there's nothing special about Christianity while spending a major part of your life and interactions worried to death about the Christian faith. Don't talk at all so as to reduce the concentration of foolery in the air.

When you see a certain atheist bash a certain religion constantly, its not because that religion is the so-called right one or special one, its just because that was the religion he was deluded with and obviously knows much if not all about it.

Most atheist here break out from Christianity, its only logical they wud attack christianity(fyi, not christians). If you found an atheist in iraq, i bet you he would attack islam 98% of the time.

Please, stop deluding yourself that your faith is any special

Speak for yourself maybe. Most atheists here were NEVER christians in the first place. The uniqueness of the Christian faith continues to haunt unbelievers till eternity, stay there and be licking boils.

Been busy for a while.. but thanks to cloudgoddess,hard mirror and lot who keep sharing would have bn missing lots of luaghs..

Op you know am just tired and confused why Christians think their religion some kind of precious gem outta thier damn damnation or whatever they believe on...christains are highly sceptical and critical in thier cases, place their religion in a special niche that stands above question and criticism. They often bend over backwards to defend their beliefs and explain away all inconsistencies, while they cherry pick the parts of their religion they, themselves gree with.isn't that a kind of cheat to humanity.. and they keep out the lies.. just to win more souls..

It's like they have this fully equipped toolbox of critical faith and divinity, that they use fluently and skillfully in every relinquishn matters. But they refuse to use these tools on their thinking.which they can't hold their believe structure to the same standards of evidence that they apply elsewhere.

Faith is like a black hole of irrationality, that bends reason around itself. It's like there's an area of their brain where critical thinking is completely suspended. The logic of the believer becomes warped and strange when closing in on the subject of divinity.

......
And again to that shy believer who's bidding farewell to nairaland..unique04 ....don't be sacred to preach against such scrutiny your religion find itself this days..if your faith doesn't work anymore.. just think.. guess your God shouldn't damn you for such act.
