Well, "sun" and "son" are only similar words in English - which didn't even exist at the time.

Your thoughts are welcome :wave:
My first thought on reading things like this is: How much of the information is reliable?

Unfortunately there are a lot of weird and unsubstantiated claims floating around the Internet, and not all by theists (of which I am one).

For example, how confident are you that "The Naked Truth" video is providing accurate information about the parallels between Horus and Christ? How do we know that the information is reliable?
Even if it is so that the information is not 100% acurate about the parallels between Jesus and the other god figures I find there is enough parallel to ask why they would even resemble each other.

So if the Age of Aquarius is supposed to be starting soon, what's the new symbol to replace the Jesus Fish on the back of my car?

Damn it. Still only reactions; no thoughts.

Dunno, isnt aquarius like a dude or something?

Either way, just get a badge showing some dirty hippies, people will understand.

And this means?
Instead of them worshipping the sun on the cross they put a personified god figure on the cross.

I really don't know who Arachaya is, I presume someone who writes similar stuff to what I just posted?

Yes it is Aquarius who is symbolized holding a pitcher of water who's house (each place one of the 12 zodiac's reside is called a house) we have entered after the Piscin Age ended...
(Luke 22:10) And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.

Is it possible that the information is hardly accurate at all? That, for example, Mithras, Dionysus, Horus and Krishna (IIRC) were NOT born of a virgin on Dec 25 and crucified, as claimed in those youtube links? Would that surprise you?
