Hello Fes, you seemed to have joined over a year ago.
Avatars helps me distinguish between and remember members.

Here have a dancing/uncomfortable something or other.  

What!?!  Nobody gave me a dancing uncomfortable something or other when I joined.  I had to go take a picture of my neighbor's insane Christmas lights like a normal person.  *Pouts*

PS - Hi there Fes!  May I call you Fes?   ;D

I don't have any wombats in my arsenal or I'd let you have one too.

I already teabagged you in the English Bugbears thread.  What else do I have to do to get a little respect around here?

If respect is your goal, teabagging may not be the means.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Liar For Jesus

I wasnt aware that Christianity was as you say a mish-mosh  of other world religions.   In what ways ?   I thought Christianity was pretty much on its own  with God coming down to Mankind  whereas the other world religions teach something fundamentally different.

Anti-antidisestablishmentarianism

Christianity stole a lot of ideas and stories from other religions. They stole the flood story from a lot of different religions.  You see a world destroyed by flood all over the place in old religions. The new testament was written in Greek as well.  Greek mythology had a heaven, the elysian fields, and an underworld. In the underworld people were sent to be punished by Tartarus in a place of the same name.  That is quite a coicidence that the new testament is in greek and all of a sudden a new version of hell pops up.  I'm sure there are many more examples of Christianity being a mish mash, but those are the two that come to mind.  Thank you Xena Warrior princess!!

The only people that don't know that Christianity is made up of older adopted beliefs are Christians, hell, until I started reading all about religions, I had no idea either ;-)

Anti-antidisestablishmentarianism

I have noticed that Christians tend not to read the bible, and when they do, they don't even understand what they are reading. That is why they are read the bible by a preacher who is nothing more than an interpreter.  Many preachers don't even know what it means themselves.  So of course they would have no idea that they are just a mix of old religions.  That's another one of the points I bring up to Christians and they have no way to explain it. How are they the only religion that is right when they are just other religions mixed together.  I like to think of Christianity as a really long old mixed tape.  Something you would give to a girl you really like even though you yourself can't stand it.

Are there other religions that also incorporate a divine Saviour for mankinds sins ?

That's funny because this link you have provided is aimed to debunk the theory that Jesus is a mashup of other religious characters.
