There's no need. As I stated earlier, people are typically blind to that which they actively participate in.
For argument's sake, let's just assume that Christianity did borrow the idea of a flood from other religions in the reason. How would you qualify the striking similarities between Christian belief, Mayan belief and many Native American beliefs regarding a great flood? Mere coincidence, right?
I don't believe I stated that I was offended anywhere in my posts.

Lemme guess....the Mayans (...Tarheel for "man"?) and Injuns defiantly depicted the God from their Great Flood stories
anthropomorphically - despite our global Jewish God’s "dire consequence" directive to them to portray him as a racially supremacist, pig and pussy-hating Mesopotamian psychopath, that His Hebrew pink-eyes kept imprisoned in a wooden crate?? (Still, I suppose that's a bit better than the book the poor bastard is locked up in today!
)
That would also explain the strikingly Semitic profile of the Mayan and Injun Gods...
