It may sound cliche but what The God of the bible offers to Christians is unique in the time it was promised.
First of all, Christianity is not the oldest religion on the planet by a long shot, and age does not offer a religion legitimacy. So I don't know what you're getting at with the silly dates.
Secondly, Christianity is no more unique than any other religion. In fact it is exactly identical in that it takes tried and true principles of belief and adds it's own "unique" flavor to them to make it appear original. When in reality, its the same old tired bull shit of heaven, hell, blood sacrifice, virgin births, messiahs, miracles and eternal punishment.
Your entire post is painfully dishonest.
