yeah, it's kind of funny that the peasants were adopting Christianity because they were pissed off at the Romans and then the emperor (I forget which one, atm) was like, "zomg we be christ lovers now too, buttsecks?!" and the peasants were like " //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif fail"

i think that the people were smart enough to read the text and know that the people introducing it to them were not following what it said... a lot of indigenous cultures also already had religions in which their spiritual characters had the exact same plot... (oral tradition)... how is it possible that so many cultures have the exact same religious plot?

about the whole "do as I say, not as I do" thing, that's exactly what pissed off Martin Luther and made him write the 95 Theses

and Christianity took many parts from many older traditions so some similarities are bound to happen

Because people couldn't read.

i know they couldn't read when oral tradition was going on... thats why history was passed orally... but my point is that they must have a common background where the religious belief began. when it comes to the bible though... same people conquering were trying to civilize by spreading literacy as well... even though timbuktu had libraries of information before the spread of european imperialism

or they could just have a common background... all postulations that we can only assume.
