Egyptian mythology is what it is...
“I am the way the Truth and the life”
...and the rendering of that Truth belongs in the heart and free mind of the Individual — not within the purview of a flock of fallible and uninspired parrots selling their wares whilst nailed to the perch upon state-established temple steps.

I think you completely missed my point. Consider this: Slavery is now officially/technically illegal in every country — Christianity did this, because Jesus is all about changing the heart of people. (This doesn't mean that slavery really is eradicated, or that there aren't people who wish to have slaves, but like Death the institution is defeated.)

[Consider this: Slavery is now officially/technically illegal in every country ]

Who was changing the heart of the pre-civilwar xian South?

Or Serbia, or Saudi Arabia — or any of the other plethora of cultures where human trafficking is very much alive, despite their alleged adherence to whatever the religious doctrine dejure happens to be.

Furthermore, seems to me that man-made religious concoctions are among the “created things” the Creator furrows his brow enough over that, as per Romans 1:25+, “because of this, God gave them over”.

Seems maybe you’ve confused religion for the spirituality manifested between the Individual and their gracious Creator.

NO SALE
