Are you actually incapable of doing the basic research that would occur to any 12-year-old before screaming out your brainless lies? Just a few easily-discovered actual facts about sacred texts:
* The first Egyptian hieroglyphs regarding their gods dates back to approximately 3000 BC.
* Chinese oracle bone script that tells about gods and creation myths date to 1200 BC.
* Around 700 BC, the poet Hesiod’s Theogony offered the first written cosmogony, or origin story, of Greek mythology.
* The first Hindu texts date to 700 BC, and the Bhagavad Gita was composed 400 BC. (I'm surprised Little Rik didn't yammer at you about this one first.)
* The Roman Gnaeus Naevius, during the 3rd century BC, composed an epic poem (about the first Punic War) that referenced his Roman Gods and thanked them for their aid.
Now before I kick you in your teeth with a obvious point your missed, and dismount you from your 'high horse' do you want to go back and reread what my argument actual says. Hint: I did NOT say Christianity is the oldest recorded religion.
How typical of a preacher to threaten violence. No, you said that there were no "texts". (Literal quote: "surviving documents") There are a LOT of surviving documents that describe religions thousands of years earlier than xtianity. Just because a hieroglyph isn't passed around today in book form as an Egyptian "bible" does not mean that it was not a "text", and it does not mean that the stories it contained were not "sacred" to the people who wrote them.
