I knew what you meant, but the whole world isn't like that. For an example, going off of your metaphor; an empath or a very close friend would realize the little signs that tell you your friend is hurt inside and they would, generally, act accordingly to cheer the friend up. The whole world is not blind, their are some people who see things for what they are. Some people just see these things differently.
That link won't load for me. I keep getting a blank white screen.
I seriously doubt Paganism is quite that old, but regardless of Paganism's age the Egyptian religion is older still. It is the oldest recorded religion found so far.
As for the Christian religion, yeah, that's about right. Allot of people fail to remember however that Christianity came from the Jewish and the Jewish religion is considerably older. Christianity came from believing in Jesus Christ(Christ; Christianity, get it?) and Jesus wasn't around until about two thousand years ago.
Everything in the christian bible was taken from Ancient Pagan Texts that pre-dated it by thousands of years. This has been proven time and time again, and is becoming harder and harder for christians to deny. By examining various Ancient Pagan Texts and comparing the epics and stories within with the bible, it can be clearly seen how the bible has simply copied these texts, only changing a few minor details such as the names of people or places.
Ofcourse, there is one question that is bound to arise. How can we be certain that christianity copied from the Pagans, and not the other way around? Well, first, the Pagan Texts predated the christian Texts by some good 1000 years. This rules out any possibility of the Pagan's having copied from the christians. Even in the bible, it states that christianity came long after Paganism.
One good example of this copying of Text is the story of "Noah's Ark". A very similar epic appeared some thousands of years before the bible in Ancient Sumeria. Only, in the Ancient Sumerian Epic, Enki (The God of Science and Engineering) appeared to Ziusudra and instructed him to build a boat that would be able to withsatnd a large wave of water, as some of the other Gods had been planning to let humanity suffer in the coming deluge.
This epic appeared thousands of years before "Noah's Ark" of the bible.
There are tons of other examples. Everything in the bible, even down to the "star characters" has it's Pagan match and was stolen from Pagan Texts.
