The RCC folks keep throwing out that 2000 year meme but parts of their rituals and rights go back to the days of the Babylonians so why not claim closer to 5000 years? Wouldn’t that be more impressive?

I guess some don't know that the Patriarch Abraham was a Babylonian. Most don't know that the Jewish Lunar Calendar and many of its celebrations had their origins there.

Wow, so lets see the meme of standing up and preaching goes to the Hindu sanyasis, so I guess your post is saying that preaching the gospel is pagan in your post’s convoluted logic
