    Tell me what you think. Were Jesus and Buddha both inspired from egyptian mythology?

    Or is Trilairian lost in vain associations? Let the poll decide.

    Well we can't go back into time and witness it for ourselves, we just consider the documents that have been recorded about the individuals.

    Jesus's Testaments come from 1900 ish years ago

    Budda's come from 2500 ish years ago.

    The historical evidence alone is good enough for most of the known world that they both existed. Tril is wrong, I know it, any good historian knows that Jesus and Buddha both existed. It's their divinity that is debated among intelligent people.

    Based on evidence that you see in front of you, what do you think water? Answer accordingly.

    I am a bit puzzled here !!

    Jesus was a jew and his teaching was more or less according to the jewish believes - I do not know if jewish religion has any links to old Egyptian mythology or not ...... I would probably have to study it further before I say yes or no......
    Jesus did live in Egypt for some years , after his family fled there ...

    About Buddha the question is easy - Buddha was a prince totally isolated in the castle living the good life without any religious teaching - untill he witnessed suffering - he did not even know that suffering existed before that - he went away from the castle meditated by himself and found his answer by meditating under some big tree ....
    He did not even consider himself holy or a God ... just as a man, he gave people a way of living ..... only people later thought of him as divine ...
    No Buddha is NOT influenced by Egyptian Mythology .....

    Yes his story IS influenced by Egyptian mythology. It draws in various elements of the god Horus. Those are the parallels he shares with Jesus.

    "Gautama Buddha was a spiritual teacher believed to have lived between approximately 563 BCE and 483 BCE on the Indian subcontinent, in the Gangetic Plains area of modern Nepal and northern India."

    Buddha = Real person

    Horus = Myth

    Nisus - I actually think that your poll is a bit confusing , do you mean :
    "No ,there is not enough evidence, AND I THINK that these figures existed independantly ".....

    I take it to mean what it said that the no vote is a vote that there is sufficient evidence that they are seperate characters.

    The yes vote then is a vote of belief that there isn't sufficient evidence to prove that they aren't inspired by a common source character.

    *************
    M*W: Jesus followed the Egyptian ritual. He may have been claimed to be a "Jew," but his philosophy was Egyptian. In essence, if you study it, there is no such thing as Jews.

    Please understand here that I am not antisemitic. Not at all. I am just rendering my belief.

    Your joking right? A poll is going to decide what the actual situation is?

    People like trilairian and MW are free to spread their lying illusions as long as God allows them to live. Then they will discover the truth.

    Honestly my freind, I wanted to see how many people sincerely care/believe. And what side they affirm.

    If they don't care they don't vote. If they vote they care.

    But what about the countless similarities between them (Horus, Jesus, Quetzacoatl etc)? Do you think it's all a coincidence or something?
