The Light Shineth in Darkness by -Udo Schaefer- 2 Para

With the method inherent in (some people's) attitude-- to call it "borrowing" if there are observable common features in thought and doctrine-- the originality of any religion can be disputed. If common features in teaching, philosophy and terminology are proofs of a religion's lack of originality and synthetic character, why.. (are they) not disturbed by the many references made by Jesus to Moses and the prophets and by the immense number of features common to Christianity and its "mother religion"-- which are so many and various that Christianity without Judaism is completely inconceivable? (60:1)

Is Jesus Unique?
It is often difficult to have a discussion with Christians: not only because they are split up into many schools of thought and belief, and because everything to do with Christianity is a matter for multiple dispute within the Churches; but above all because their eye for the parallels in religious history is blurred by their sense of uniqueness and exclusiveness and their belief that the Christians are a "chosen people." This prevents any real insight into the facts. (60:2)
