Quote:Jews and Christians refuse to see that the reality is that EVERY religion has always been a spinoff of something prior.Paul notes in Romans 1:
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
So, from a Biblical POV, some similar motifs are not surprising.
