Has anyone read this book?
Doesn't it basically refute all paganism, showing how all their hopes and ideas are fulfilled in Christ. All of paganism and non-dualism is deprecated by Christianity. It doesn't give you anything more than what Christ gives you.

All religions have the same functions, the primary one being assimilation of individuals into a collective.

Oh no no no

I don't really care what the first human was like because I've never met the guy. What does that matter anyway?

Rationalized religion is a remarkable institution that brought literacy, long distance trade, bureaucratic order etc. But it's really dumb to argue over which one is best like they're fucking waifus. They just are. The strongest men are without gods, and look on those who believe with sympathy and jealousy. Then they man the fuck up and work on improving this shithole. Sucking any institution's dick is cringe in general.

Why is the text on the cover in Cantonese of all languages? Shouldn't it be in Classical Chinese? (I believe λόγος actually was translated as 道 in the first Chinese bible translations, incidentally.)

It unintentionally shows how Christianity is a watered down version of older religions.

>older religions
The first people believed in the God of Israel though.
