| QUOTE (Pip Bernadotte @ Jul 23 2008, 02:03 PM) | Well, to be honest (and I'm not trying to insult), Christianity is basically a rip-off of every religion that its followers were converted from. It takes Judaism, adds some Norse, Celtic, and Roman (which is a rip-off itself) religions to the mix, and adds a triad instead of one deity.
It's like America, or the English language.
Basically, if you thought, say, D&D was real, but didn't think so about all the folklore which D&D was based on was right. Is that a good example, or am I rambling? |
I see what you're saying.
But, in a sense, every religion has the extreme similarities. I always notice how it's, "bash Christianity for it sounding like stuff from Greek mythology," then, "bash Christianity for it sounding like something from Egyptian folklore," but nobody ever wants to make the connection that Greek mythology and Egyptian folklore have some similarities.

Yes, that is true. And I do acknowledge that many religions are similar; however, it may be descended from one "core" religion millions of years ago based on similarities from around the world (See Erich von Daniken, which does make your religions plausible.)
And before anyone says anything, Daniken's hypotheses are not the same as Scientology, which is a joke.

Because people inherently don't like differences and thus try to "fix" them.

Stop trying to convince people that religion are fairy tales, and stop trying to convince people religion is real.
What's the point? If I believe in God, why would anyone care? If you are an atheist, why would I care? |
You certainly seem to actually care.
I'm a Christian, and while it bugs me that people are saying my beliefs are fake, I'm actually taking this time to listen to what they're saying and "taking notes," per se.
You were the one sitting there saying, "LOL THAT'S FUNNY" whenever they said something.
