Why do Christians not believe in Horus?
Here is a comparison of Horus and Jesus. Please not how the last two letters are the same and they both have five letters to their name.

1. There are two separate birth accounts in regards to Horus, neither depict a virgin birth: Hathor, the motherly personification of the milky way, is said to have conceived Horus but we are told her husband, Ra, was an Egyptian sun god. Hathor, a sky goddess, was represented by the cow whose milk brought forth the milky way. By the will of her husband Ra, she gave birth to Horus: "I, Hathor of Thebes, mistress of the goddesses, to grant to him a coming forth into the presence [of the god]… Hathor of Thebes, who was incarnate in the form of a cow and a woman."

When we examine Isis as Horus’ mother, we are told Isis was not a virgin, but the widow of Osiris. Isis practices magic to raise Osiris from the dead so she can bear a son that would avenge his death. Isis then becomes pregnant from the sperm of her deceased husband. Again, no virgin birth occurs: "[Isis] made to rise up the helpless members [penis] of him whose heart was at rest, she drew from him his essence [sperm], and she made therefrom an heir [Horus]."

2. Horus was not referred to as the begotten son of God.
3. Meri,’ technically ‘Mr-ee,’ is the Egyptian word for ‘beloved’ and was apparently applied to Isis prior to Jesus’ time, as a title, not as part of her name. But since there were probably thousands of women between Horus’ time and Jesus’ with a name or title that was a variation on ‘Mary,’ there’s no real reason to suppose that Jesus’ mother was named after Isis in particular. Even if, hypothetically, the Gospel authors themselves fabricated Jesus’ mother and decided to name her ‘Mary,’ it’s far more likely that they named her after other women from around their time named ‘Mary’ than it is that they named her after ‘Isis-Meri.’
4. First of all, there is no parallel between the Egyptian name ‘Seb’ and the Hebrew name ‘Joseph,’ other than the fact that they
