Is Christianity unique or not?

[Succubus]

We have documents that even secular scholars say are 99% that go all the way back to the first century in an unbroken chain...

Ok I'll bite, what documents are you referring to?

[Mister Agenda]

All religions are special snowflakes.

From the article: "History is moving in a purposeful direction. There is a purpose for mankind’s existence; history is moving in a direction to fulfill God’s plan for the ages. "

Nuff said.

That is priceless. History is moving within his mind, is what he means, as he rewrites it however he wants.

Bart Ehrman (an atheist) and respected NT scholar believes we have in the NT pretty much what was written. These documents are first century. They have been discussed since the second century in an unbroken chain. Take your pick: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com

THere is mountains of work done on every one of them. Read. Then get back to me and tell me how Christianity is not unique (with references of course).

And this is evidence for what, exactly?

To combat the nonsense of the OP:

"Christians just doing what they always have been doing and that is taking other people's mythology and incorporating them into their own."

People should be embarrassed to repeat such nonsense since it is so easy to see through it. People who write such things have very obvious axes to grind and their efforts are not scholarly.

You mean like how they celebrate Christmas?

Actually I was pointing out how Stevell is a hypocrite. He was criticising someone as having child-like beliefs rather than counter-acting what the OP was saying and therefore Stevell is the one who was using an Ad-hom

I'm sure it's a 1-in-365 coincidence.

I'm sure it's a 1-in-365 coincidence. 

And just a coincidence with the lit up trees, mistletoe, yule logs, caroling, feasting, giving presents to each other and by visits from mythical creatures at night, hanging ornaments, green decorations, holly, fruitcake etc ...
