Heretic
Hereticsuggests that many religious figures, including Jesus Christ, share a common origin story.
The thought-provoking results have madeHeretic’s box office surpass its budget in only a week.
One such figure is theEgyptian god Horus, often depicted with a falcon head.
Mr. Reed, whoHugh Grant gave amassive backstoryforHeretic, is fascinated by theological comparisons.
She uses thebird headexample as a facetious comment.
The worship of Horus was an example of afalcon cultwhich was widespread in ancient Egypt (perBritannica).
Horus parents are Isis, the goddess of healing, and Osiris, the god of the afterlife.
Egyptian gods were often depicted in diverse forms, including animal and human-animal hybrids.
Horus joins Apollo of Greek mythology, the Persian god Mithra and Sol Invictus, theinvincible sunof Rome.
All of these are sun and light deities (perHuffPost).
It draws focus to the differences in theiterationsMr.
Reed is referring to.
Thus every savior cult was different from every other…
The differences allow each religion to assert itself as the one true faith.
Barnes comment only reinforces the iterations theory.
