I liked the parts where these old yahoodies tolchock each other and then drink their Hebrew vino, and getting onto the bed with their wives' handmaidens.

Is Christianity unique or not?

Not much to add to your analysis. It's the usual load of desperate mental gymnastics. He only seems to be tackling the NT, and ignoring all the stuff the OT copies from earlier religions too.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Modern Christianity does not resemble first century Christianity. The modern Christians have borrowed the first century Christian myths and created their own new mythologies. So, if this religious evolutionary process is happening now, I am sure it has always happened.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
Let me present Christians with a certain Greek myth that you might find familiar

Yes, Sodom and Gomorrah a place that majority of Christains belives really exists somewhere buried, like underneath the Dead Sea.

The whole defense is kind of weird anyway. It's like saying Superman is totally original and not copied off of Spiderman.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
From the article: "History is moving in a purposeful direction. There is a purpose for mankind’s existence; history is moving in a direction to fulfill God’s plan for the ages. "
Nuff said.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
