Books about atheism
- The bible story of Esther and Mordecai looks a whole lot like the Sumerian story of Ishtar and Marduk.
- The stories of jesus casting the nets and of feeding of the 5,000 w/ loaves of bread/fish were stolen from Pythagoras and were originally meant as allegories to explain Geometry problems.
- How many times were Plato/Socrates ripped off ?"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
George Orwell

The story of the Last Supper was hugely lifted from a tale in Norse mythology in which the god Balder was killed.
