The thief is insisting that he be credited for the vaccine on account of having stolen it from the lab? "Christian ethics" were shaped by western thinking. The commonality we see is a result of that. They came up with the story about the god man, not their ethics. They borrowed those, it's alot easier to bullshit people about pixies than it is to come up with a cogent ethical system.
