But is it anything more than a claim?  I don't think so.

Quote:Second, everything about Christianity, when it isn't being interpreted through the carnal lenses of phonies, makes sense.

So now we're "phonies" because we think your religion is nonsense?  My, my -- aren't you the precious one.

I think it would be appropriate for you to lose your faith and join the rest of us "phonies" in the real world.   Diablo

 As far as I'm aware Christianity contains no original features 

 A few examples below. Found after a very brief search.

God as man:

Ancient Greek gods habitually took human form and lived among humans.--lest any Christian claim these are myths, I reply so is the Christian claim of Jesus as the son of God, to me and I think more than a few atheists.

Same goes for Hinduism; the God Krishna  often appeared  in human form. Perhaps the best known example can be found in the Baghavad
Gita .(The Song OF God) This is part of the Mahabharata, one of Hinduism's most revered .In the Gita , Krishna has a conversation a man called Arjuna, explaining the origin of suffering. The Gita is a sublimely  beautiful book, which answers one of the great questions men have asked for millennia: why do we suffer?. The explanation is simple and elegant, providing a rational answer where Christianity  cannot.

Virgin Birth:

" It is a fact that divine births were so commonly accepted among ancient people that whenever they hear of one who has greatly distinguish himself, they immediately classify such a person as having been born of a supernatural lineage. The learned Thomas Maurice in his book called Indian Antiquities, goes far as to state that “in every age and in almost every religion of the Asiatic world, there seems uniformly to have flourished an immemorial tradition that one god had from all eternity begotten another god”It is a fact that divine births were so commonly accepted among ancient people that whenever they hear of one who has greatly distinguish himself, they immediately classify such a person as having been born of a supernatural lineage.

 The dying and resurrecting god has been part of fertility religions for millennia. And I think in South American civilisations, independently.

Son of God: Horus; son of the goddess, mother Isis  and  her brother the god Osiris.
