Wow, how dumb are you?

Three of the worlds largest religions trace their origins in great detail to a guy you say never existed. And he wasn't a member of any of those religions. His religious upbringing was an offshoot of whatever practices his ancestors followed. And much like Buddha, he went searching for a different truth and was led to Judaism. The rest is history

Let us not even get into the WELL DOCUMENTED trail of Judaism, becoming Catholicism, becoming Protestantism, becoming Baptists, Greek Orthodoxia, Mormons, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, Methodists, 7th day Adventists, snake handlers, Presbyterians, etc. You cant look at Judaism and see anything remotely akin to a snake handling church, but we know exactly how that happened.

Same thing with Buddhism, Confucius, Hindi, Christianity, paganism, Norse theology, etc. All evolved from the first religion observed by men.

I'm just sorry your instructors were intellectually dishonest with you

That's dogma and incorrect at that. Abraham was not led to Judaism. His chronology predates the creation of the Jewish people at Mount Sinai. He was a Noahide, until God promised his descendants would inherit Israel and he was the first Hebrew, but he was never a Jew.

It is well documented. Everyone knows those connections. Are you saying the branching of Judaism into Catholicism then the multitude of offshoot Christian denominations is analogous to the differences between Judaism and the Norse pantheon or Native American animistic beliefs?
