For those of you that have seen the Zeitgeist video, how much of that is true about all of the false premise of JC and that is it all just a copy of the stories originating from Egyptian times and being carried on through different civilizations? That is what I got out of it anyway.

It's not true at all. Zeitgeist that is. They make up a lot of stuff about the Egyptians that is simply not true. The entire Horus story is completely fabricated and not the true story.
Still, I believe that stories from previous civilizations had an impact on Christianity. But I doubt it was Egypt. Greek philosophies and beliefs have a strong influence on Christianity. Many of the early writers were heavily taught in Hellenistic philosophy and it transfered over.
It's not to say that Egyptians may not have had some influence on Christianity, but I believe it's more likely that Greek philosophy and the God Dionysus is a much better culprit.
