I just think all religions and many philosophers are similar because they are all observing the same universe and the same functions and naturally any intelligent person would expound on the intelligent plot lines. Also the place most of these people learned is the same. I don't know, there's really alot of reasons why their teachings are so similar. Most of them all originated in the same area under the same or similar eras, so it's only natural they would all influence eachother.

You don't see any connections between them with the information I've shared so far?

I know all you guys think gnosticism is really weird but have you ever actually read through the entire bible?
