Both. The story of Jesus was based on both Horus, and Mithra (there were civilisations existing on earth, and believing in their gods before Abraham was spoken to by your God!

Tom Harpur's "The Pagan Christ" explores the origins of the story of Jesus - in detail. His book cleared the path for many believers, who had been confused by the biblical stories, and they just couldn't accept them. Tom Harpur himself was a clergyman, an Anglican priest, who faced the questions asked by so many in society, that he himself went searching for historical evidence, and concluded that Jesus never existed. The story was man-made. I will not attempt to talk you (or anybody) out of your belief - it is your right, so be it. Just that I cannot accept those things happened as described by the bible.
Of course things outside of logic can occur - if one believes in magic! In this case, your God is a magician. I do not have the answers to all the questions, but I can live with that - that our species still is searching and investigating. We learn more each day. And get wiser, more exposed. We do not wish to depend on an invisible "force" that draws lines and says what is right and wrong for us. If we make mistakes, so let us learn from those mistakes. And not have some authority telling us how we should behave. There may have been a God, but he left. We're on our own.
Cheers!
"There may have been a God, but he left. We're on our own."
This is quite truth (actually only half-true) and hence I would humbly like to re-edit as follows: There have been a God, but He left because we kick Him out. We are now on our own."
Biblically speaking, this was what happened in the Garden of Eden. We want to be our own. We want to take full charge. And to do this, we have to kick God out. So, we all have live without God for last 6,000 years and we tried to prove that we can be on our own but we ended up with disastrous results. Look around us. Everything from new technological innovations to fighting for equality, just about everything is that we are witnessing daily is bring chaos to the world and often right into your home. You now have lost your rights to say that married should ONLY between a man and a woman. Try saying this in most western countries. You will be 'cut' to pieces, not physically though. It is very sad that if you have a daughter and one day she came back home and said to you: Daddy / Mummy, I am pregnant and I don't know who is the father of the baby.
And it will be equally sad that if you have a son and one day he came back home said Daddy / Mummy, I am getting married. May I introduce my wife (husband?) to you. This is Johnson. Isn't he handsome (beautiful?)
6,000 years is enough, and enough is enough. The final chapter of humanity is going to end and God is going to take control of everything, whether you like it or not, after all He created all things and He has every right to all the possessions, including your lives! (So, sad for many non-Christians but for Christians, we are looking forward to this day which can come at any time).
Come to God, come to Jesus and let Him take control of you. You can never be on own because you are God's creation.
God Bless.
