@techstepgenr8tion, Christianity itself is a vast amalgam of otherwise incompatible beliefs, traditions and practices. The very history of the entire religion post-Jesus is that of appropriation and assimilation, is it not?
Why start that late? The Torah - the root of all three Abrahamisms - is a patchwork of Babylonian, Egyptian, Chaldean, and Persian Zoroastrian beliefs. Everything one would call 'the bible' is a braided cord of various brands of pagan philosophy, that's part of why it seems to vary in depth as profoundly as it does from one chapter to the next.
