Absorbing old religion
#9
RE: Absorbing old religion
If you believe Archarya S/Dorothy Murdock, there isn't a single thing in Christianity that wasn't taken from prior religions. For those of you who don't know who she is, her views are controversial. I don't know what to make of her or her claims. On one hand, she's a fruitloop who embraces silly conspiracy theories. On the other hand, she's a tireless researcher who seems to make honest attempts to answer her critics. Some respected scholars admire her while others think she's a crackpot.

Regardless, there is no denying Christianity's Borg-like assimilation strategy. The Christmas and Easter thing are the most obvious but I'm pretty sure the Noah's Arc story was floating around long before Christianity was thought of too.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
