What do people think of the alleged similarities among Jesus, Horus (Egyptian god), Buddha, Krishna, and Mithra (Zoroastrian)?

Some believe the stories of these deities and religious figures to have common roots.

C3P? already said it, but those are absolute tear inducing BS. I'm curious where, since SIN is not a Hindu concept, the authour found Krishna called the Sin Bearer?

While there are certain similarities that might be worth noting, since Buddhism and Christianity (for example) are so totally different, I'm not sure what these people are trying to do with their lists other than create confusion and delay.

This vageuly reminds me of the "Da Vinci Code." They make a claim that the Mayans (IIRC) had a divine image of a mother and child, and this was clearly the inspiration for Jesus and the Virgin Mary... not explaining how to unconnected cultures influenced eachother, or why a mother holding a baby isn't just a universal image.
