There’s so much in the article and here that I don’t think I have enough time. Christianity has many pagan roots, the Bible went through its vetting for the official versions, there’s slavery and genocide in the Bible, etc.

Do agree with the central point though, the bishop is on crack. Why is it that Christians are always expected to accommodate? Where’s the reciprocity from the Muslims?

Christianity has many pagan roots, the Bible went through its vetting for the official versions, there’s slavery and genocide in the Bible, etc.

Here are a few articles to clear some misconceptions :

DID CHRISTIANITY HAVE PAGAN ROOTS ?

This article explains why the answer is NO

This article explains how pagans actually BORROWED from Christianity instead of the other way around.

RE: Slavery

Here is an explanation of slavery in ancient times and why Christianity does not condone it but simply learned to live with it (much as Christians are living with the fact of the killing of babies today).

RE: Genocide in the Old Testament

This article explains the rare instances of genocide in the Bible and why these are never repeated elsewhere and cannot be used to justify murder today.

See also here for an extended explanations of why God ordered the slaughter of the Amalekites.

Hope this helps.
