Keep telling yourself that.

You're doing a good job of arguing my point for me. The Gnostics (eg. Ophites, Sethians, etc) were explicit about how Jesus was equivalent with Adonis, Osiris, Attis, Dionysus, etc, etc. For starters, how many of the Nag Hammadi texts revolve around Pagan deities? The Pistis Sophia even goes so far as to say that Jesus is the son of Sophia (not Mary), and that Yahweh is a demon (aka: Yaldaboath, the demiurge). Even the Nicene theology (ie. Catholic) was ripped wholesale from NeoPlatonism (eg. the Trinity) and Hermeticism. Most of the early church fathers were NeoPlatonists and/or Hermeticists (eg. Bishop Syanecius of Cyrene, who was all 3 simultaneously). The cult of the virgin Mary is just a thin veneer of Christinanity overlaid on top of the cult of Artemis of Ephesus. That's besides that the oldest version of the OT was written in Greek and based on linguistic analysis predates the Hebrew translation. Jews in that region (ie. Alexandria Egypt) barely even spoke Hebrew at that point, because they were entirely Hellenised and steeped in Greek myths and culture. Everything they claim as their own is just a bad imitation and a lot of narcissistic victim Olympics fantasies, which later Christfags dutifully copied. The only way you can claim otherwise is if you're historically illiterate.

Americans think that Nazis are opposed to government control.
Real patriots wish that they could stay awake 24 hours a day spreading freedom.

Honeypotted with a couple of castrated boys.
His own people would have burnt him at the stake.

Yes, but making him a martyr probably would have just accelerated the schism.

Objectively, you're an idiot if you think that. Might help if you joined a book club that has more than one book in it's selection.

Meanwhile Islame, just like Christinanity and Judajism, was plagiarised wholesale from pre-existing Pagan traditions.
Wrong
Americans scream tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are unable to explain why Cubans try to escape even though Cuba has gun control and free medical care.
