"They are the marks of plagiarism, and prove conclusively that Christianity is a lie" The post goes to great lengths to prove that Christianity was "plagiarized" from older philosophies/religions - if we are to believe this (I don't doubt it) then Christianity was borne of "truth" and in and of itself is "true". The lie would be claiming it is "new" or not like any other teachings. Claiming Christianity "a lie" would also tie back to the religions/philosophies it "borrowed" from as lies as well. To make an analogy - take a copy of a picture of the Statue of Liberty, change the coloring, enlarge it and call it by a different name - does that make it not a photo of a large statue of a woman holding a book in one hand and a torch in another hand? I'd also point out that much of the similarities of the ancient religions is not evidence of plagarism but rather proof there is a "higher power" (call it God, Krishna, Yahweh etc). I mean why "borrow" something if it doesn't work or make sense? Just a few thoughts on this festive weekend :) Regards, Peter J Strifas
