    I thought only my former religion, Islam, had this bullshit. Turned out they’re all the same.

      All Abrahamich religions that stem from the same root, Christianity was a direct fork from Judism and Islam having its own roots in both and a few other inputs further east of Palestine.

      The Holy book of Jews, Christians and Muslims are the same (at the start). They only differ where they stop. New testament is a revision of the old one. So is the Muslim part, but I do not know that too well. This is why you can always find this and contradictions. They only wrote patches, not erratas.

        Other way around actually. Judism/Christianity claim to be 4,000+ years old but there is little evidence to back this claim that wasn’t written centuries after the supposed fact.

        Hindu religion has temples and manuscripts dating at least that far back and its known that sporadic trade from Rome to China did happen and lands that are now in modern India were a leg on that unofficial trade road. So the various authors of the old testament very well could have had copies of Hindu writing and tales, or been told them second, third or fourth hand through those with a connection to the unofficial trader networks that moved goods and information between the two continents.

        Now that’s a load of BS if I ever seen one, not as bad in Bible but still par. Hinduism books based on islamic or Christin ones? Like from 19 th century that’s possible, but anything before that highly unlikely.

      All Abrahamic shit is just mind control. If there was a Holy Messiah who embodied everything good and pure, do you think he’d want everyone to be an acolytic zealot that follow contradictory and sexist messages written by mortals?
