Christianity has a long tradition of "borrowing" from other religions not just Greek Mythology.

Christmas is a good example where Pagan sun worship gets morphed into the story of the birth of Christ.

Or what about egyptian images of winged humans or halos which seem to have been around for ever.

Of course I'm sure Christians will just tell us these are primative versions of the "truth" of the Christian faith.

The truth IMHO is that its a lot easier to convert the masses from one religion to another if you "happen" to share a lot of ideas, iconography, celebration dates etc. with them.


There is no sin except stupidity.
