Anyway, back on topic of what the OP wanted to talk about.
I was aware it was common knowledge that a good deal of Christianity plagiarised from older cultures, but I didn't quite realise the extent of it. It really is a hodgepodge of little details from older stories. You'd think for a religion that tried to bastardize all the "false Gods" that came before, they'd at least make their own original material. Guess not...
Also side-note, Islam plagiarises a lot of Christianity, so it plagiarises a religion which already plagiarized everything else. So much plagiarism here my head is spinning.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
