What are the Characteristics of a NT Christian?

[Brian37]

An example of a borrowed story is Jaws, based on Moby Dick. It seems like the type of analysis you're proposing would indicate that Jaws is not based on Moby Dick. A borrowed story wouldn't likely be a copy-and-paste, the details would be updated and the elements of the story preserved.

It's more like saying that the someone borrowed the story of Jaws to write Moby Dick. Without extensive knowledge of the 19th century whale trade, he would likely, unless he was very careful, accidentally incorporate inappropriate modern details. Or like if I wrote a biography of Doctor Livingston and based my geography on a modern map of Africa. My errors, like writing about countries that didn't yet exist, would reveal that my story was written many years after the fact. A contemporary of Livingston would be much more likely to get the names of the countries right.

We don't care. 

Again, arguing who created Coke or who created Pepsi would not make either the first beverage humans drank, nor would either soda existing make any of the fantastic claims of ANY religion scientific fact. If Coke put out adds claiming "Drinking this will give you the ability to fly like Superman" would you be stupid enough to try it? Coke may be a beverage, but water was around before soda. Just like Jews were around before Christians, and the Canaanite polytheists were around before Jews, where the Jews got the Yahweh name from. 

There were oral religions long before the first human writings, and our primate cousins existed long before humans, and other life existed long before humans, and our planet is 4 billion years old, and the universe is 13.8 billion years old. And in 5 billion years our species will have long gone extinct when the sun either expands or collapses and our solar system ends. The universe did fine before humans and it will continue on without us.

Most people don't know, for example outside of si fi nerds, that the "Transporter" motif on Star Trek was not the first time a si fi product used a mundane SCREEN WIPE, with static implying dissolving of humans. Old si fi b movies older than that series used that same tactic.

The idea of a hero god who saves his tribe is not unique to Christianity. You are stuck on details when all religions are still based on "good vs evil" motifs. Everyone loves a hero story, everyone loves an underdog story. But that is not because gods are real, or that any religion is the root of goodness. Humans like the club idea because it reflects their own desire to be in control of their environment. Ideas don't pop out of nothing. You cant leave a baby alone, if you did, it would die.
