According to this documentary,
Both Muslim and Christianity originated frompolitics. The Exodus Moses 10 commandments were to only one god. All others were declared evil.

You do know that Christianity post dates Exodus? Pardon me asking but your comments that JC was reborn makes me a little unsure how deep your level of ignorance runs.

How can Christianity predate Jesus Christ? The whole premise of Christianity is that he diedfor "our" sins.
(Worshipping another God or not believing in Jesus is, of course, a sin).
Then he was brought back to life, and then 40 days later he went to heaven.
The whole idea that he is a direct descendant of Moses is a joke. He was immaculately conceived by a Virgin, but his human father was a descendant of Joseph, David, Moses, etc., etc.). The same bloodline, blah de blah. This is just to make it sound like a Hollywood story to tie everything together- and also legitimise having a King.
Christmas was celebrated by the Pagans before Jesus was born- although it was a day reserved for another holiday. The reality is that Paganism and Christianity almost went to war- so Emperor Constantine merged them into one religion to prevent this.
Incidentally, this was the start of the dark ages- When the Catholic church took the world backwards. (It was only 14- 16 hundred years later that the more "left" wing Protestants took the world forward - along with the renaissance- That "refound" the knowledge of the ancient Greeks).
(From what I understand, the "ancient Greek knowledge" was found in a Muslim country. It is possible the Catholic church burnt the Western copy of this knowledge.
Any university student today will learn much more from the Ancient Greek era- than during the Dark Ages when Christianity was at its strongest.
Apparently, Moses and Abraham are also in theKoran- not just the Bible. (So we have 2 one true Gods).
I don't believe Jesus was reborn or revived, or reborn again Christiansetc., etc. I also don't believe in the tooth fairy.
---------------It is ironic but renaissance is named rebirth- when Christianity declined- or at least the far right wing Catholic Church.
The term Renaissance, literally means the name for "rebirth" and is the period in European civilisation immediately following the Middle Ages, conventionally held to have been characterised by a surge of interest in classical learning and values.

Sharkbok, it's not just Moses and Abraham. Baboon-ou h ates
hearing this but the fact is there is almost no difference between
the accounts of the Old Testament and the Q'uran, just the
names that have changed slightly.
Noah = Nuh
Abraham = Ibrahim
Moses = Musa
Isaac = Ishaq
Ishmael = Ismail
Jacob = Yaqub
Joseph = Yusuf
Elijah = Ilyas
David = Dawood
Solomon = Sulaiman
I mean really, you'd have to be a blithering idiot not to recognize
those are the same prophets from the same scriptures . . . but
Baboon-ou will tell you it's all a big coincidence!

Christianity has much in common with other religions of the time.....most of which go back to pagan times and festivals. The Great Flood appears in many guises for example.
Still at least Christianity avoided the 1000 virgins and the reincarnation as a dog.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was led to believe that Christianity is 600 years older than Islam?

Yes, Denny- that appears to be the case (Islam for

Dummies has confirmed it....Reading this stuff- it sounds almost the same- except Mohammed is Jesus.
As new religion forms, it absorbs some of the old religion that predated it. This appears to create a civil war.
If we did evolve from Monkies- some of the first gods must have been rocks and stones.
In about 610 A.D., the angel Gabriel appeared to a man named Muhammad in the city of Mecca in present day Saudi Arabia. Gabriel told Muhammad that God had commissioned Muhammad as His last prophet. The revelations Muhammad received until his death in 632 constitute the Qur’an, Islam’s holy book. Muhammad believed that he was restoring and completing the original religion of
