Yet christianity could not deliver some sense in original sin, unhealed amputees, torture in the bible, condonement of slavery by the church based on the bible, priests violating children and covering up, the doubtful historicity of Jesus, the fabrication of cosmogony, the denial of evidence for evolution, the special pleading that is ubiquitous in theology, inquisition, Galileo's encounter with the church, the total absence of a proces of falsification/verification, the impossibility to compare objective evidence across religions and hundreds other products of the christian heritage.
I take it that before christianity you have scrutinised hinduism, buddhism, zoroastrianiism, taoism, mormonism buddhism, judaism, jainism, sikkhism, confucianism, mohism, masai mythology, mazdakism, shaktism, mandaeism, sufism, hermeticism, jehova witnessing, macumba, siberian shamanism and polynesian mythology. From the inside, that is.
