What is more interesting is the inconsistencies considering that all of this bullshit was copied from one original story. That means that the subsequent authors deliberately made changes to suit the particular audience they were addressing. Its hard for modern people to comprehend the isolation that these groups would have lived in but how many of them would have even known that the others existed. And, when they did come into contact, they apparently hated each other!
Quote:"Christians, needless to say, utterly detest one another; they slander each other constantly with the vilest forms of abuse, and cannot come to any sort of agreement in their teaching. Each sect brands its own, fills the head of its own with deceitful nonsense...".
