The Abrahamic faiths are largely based off Zoroastrianism. The ideas of paradise (etymologically descends from Avestan word pairidaēza), transcendental moral dualism, light = goodness & darkness = evil metaphors, angels (yazatas), personified evil figures (e.g., Asmodeus is based off daeva Aēšma), eschatological reward and punishment (Chinvat Bridge), Day of Judgment (Frashokereti), rigid duality between truth (asha) and lie (druj), savior of light (Saoshyant), and the resurrection of the dead (Yasna 19) descended from Zoroastrian influence. Read Chapter 7 of Michael Stausberg's Zarathustra and Zoroastrianism for the most up-to-date scholarly research regarding this topic.
Now, I am the Saoshyant, and I will help you grasp Ohrmazd's light in exchange for bitcoins.

Of course it is. Christianity is a combination of both ancient greek and Zoroastrian pagan beliefs and philosophy with the old jewish stories.
Calling christianity "sandnigger" religion such nordics do is as ignorant as it can get.

Anyways, want to be my disciple?

How about removing the jewish stories then. In Zoroastrian belief and greek paganism blood comes before belief also, while it is different in christianity. Also the core of Christianity it is still jewish, even though if 10%,so...

I'd argue the Incarnation is very important to modern Christianity. Most Gnostics like Mani, for example, did not believe in a literal Incarnation but docetism.

Because those stories come with a moral code which greek paganism and others don't have.
But you could say we could remove those stories and just keep the morals of christianity which is possible.

But the stories in Greek Paganism are allegorical, encouraging what is deemed as virtuous conduct, whereas Christianity operates by way of divine command theory. Both have a meta-ethics and normative ethics but oriented in different directions.
bump thread looks interesting , whats the actual source to those religions , is it just some guy who wrote a book about it , or is there actual archaeological connection to these religions
