All refer to Jesus except for being born on dec. 25. Crucifixion, which was a means of killing the condemned, had it's origins centuries after the other "gods" you mention, so it's safe to say that these could have never been crucified. I would say that none of these fit this.

Horus......
Jesus, the man, is believed by many scholars to have been born sometime in March, and his birthday was simply moved to coincide more closely with the Pagan celebration of the Winter solstice and the rebirth of the baby sun god to the Maiden goddess..............

Oh C.L. you never cease to entertain me. Please show me a non christian link to said proof. Christian links are just a little too biased for my tastes.
To the original question none of them were born, ever.

To C.L. I provided completely neutral links. In reading your links you are right not one meets every criteiria, but even in it there is more than enough to link Jesus to many other gods before him.
I don't need to prove it all wrong, I never said one other "god" met all jesus's myths. But your site proves my point even further. Jesus is a myth collected from many other gods, even more so once the pagans took over your religion.

Jesus.
The belief that these other figures were copied by Christians is a proven myth. Most of the "similarities" came into their stories long after the resurrection of Christ had already taken place.
Edit: To the person two comments down - Since we're playing by those rules, perhaps you can show me a Christian source that claims Jesus was copied from Horus, Mithras, etc? ..I thought not. Face it, the only people who care enough to write on this subject have a stake in the matter one way or another.
But I would love to see you try to prove all this wrong:

Jesus. He actually wasn't really born on December 25th though. That's an estimated guess.

Actually Dec. 25 isn't Jesus' birthdate; that's just when we all celebrate His birth.
