Quote:So 2000 years ago (give or take) someone wrote a story that paralelled another story based in, what was popular culture (for the time it was written)A literary tradition, similar motif and other devices-keep up.

No one for 2000 years noticed, till someone with a desire to make this mock-YOU-mentry noticed what should have been very appearent to any of the major philosphers and anti-theologians of that day.."People" did notice. "People" continue to notice. Clearly -you- didn't notice...but I don't know (at this point) if that's because you haven't read the bible - or because you haven't read some other piece of literature that is representative of the same tradition...not that this has anything to do with what we're discussing, but hey, I'm trying to be generous.
