You totally missed the point that she was making and have gone off into left field

Heart, when an uneducated person can find something wrong with the arguments there's something flawed.. Of course this doesn't mean you should take my word for it, it's just that there are more credible ways of being skeptical. The writing is just quote after quote of sources that I do not have the time to check up on. But when the to misquote of the Pope knowing that she was misquoting it shows a desired state of ignorance. Here's another "Even the Hebraic name of God, "Yahweh," was taken from the Egyptian "IAO." Well IAO as it turns out is not even an Egyptian God but a Greek gnostic derivation of YHWH. She is purposely trying to construe the Exodus events to make it as if they were taken from the Egyptians.

"On Gnostic gems is found the sacred name IAO [)Iaw] of the Sun, which the Greeks took to be the name of the Jewish God, since the Tetragrammaton YHUH (using U for the semivowel wau) was often pronounced IAO. The Tetragrammaton has several other interesting connections with Greek religion. For example, it has been claimed that YHUH, pronounced YAUO or YAOU, is just IAO with a definite article. This in turn is Jove, which is pronounced YOUE (Jupiter is a contraction for Jove Piter = Jove the Father). The connection with Zeus (pronounced DZEUS) is harder to see, due to the retention of the initial consonant, but it is apparent from the hard pronunciation of J (as in Jehova), which is phonetically equivalent to DZH. Thus DZEU (Zeu, voc.) = DZHEU (Jeu) = DZHEUO (Jeuo) = DZHOUE (Jove), etc. Finally, consider the ecstatic cry of the Bacchantes, Io Euhoi [i)o\ eu)oi(/], which is phonetically YO EUHOI. Dropping the vowels yields YUH, which is three fourths of the Tetragrammaton. The Tetragrammaton YHWH could be vocalized Yohewhoi (YO HEU HOI), which is
nearly identical to the Bacchantic yell. These similarities may reveal a Sacred Sound (a "Secret God-Name") common to many cultures. (See also Godwin, Vowels, Ch. 8.) "
Here's another
"In one of the most notorious of Christian deceptions, in order to convert followers of "Lord Buddha," the Church canonized him as "St. Josaphat," which represented a Christian corruption of the buddhistic title, "Bodhisat."102"
The offical church canonization had not started until like 900AD. The result was that many of the early saints were only known by legend and one of those legends had Buddha as a saints. Is this is the real St. Josaphat?

"For example, early Church Father Tertullian (@ 160-220 C.E.), an "ex-Pagan" and Bishop of Carthage, ironically admits the true origins of the Christ story and of all other such godmen by stating in refutation of his critics, "You say we worship the sun; so do you."65 Interestingly, a previously strident believer and defender of the faith, Tertullian later renounced Christianity66"
Tertullian did not really renounce Christianity, he bacame a heretic which would make him a Chrisitan but not Catholic.
