I'm a Christian, but found this gem this evening

Mind giving some sources? I'm not arguing or disputing you, I'm just interested so I can learn here.

Is there any actual evidence that it's stolen? Or that two geographically close cultures had a story from the same origin.

It wouldn't really disprove anything if they're making a truth claim tbh. If anything, it'll actually prove it further if the story is popping up in other cultures.

I deliberately watch atheist videos a lot, lol. Would read dawkins if I cared to read books more.

Besides to this being completely off topic (OP was asking about what Christians believe, not if sin is real) How could beliefs or actions cause harm if sin is a myth?

No.

Jesus may have quoted Aesop a few times, although those fables' earliest recording are around a thousand years later.

However, take for example the Ark of the Covenant:

It bears resemblance to Egyptian arks to their gods, like one found in King Tut's tomb

To the Israelites when asked to construct their Ark, the concept would have been familiar to them, as it's something the pagans would have done. Big difference is that the pagans put a depiction of the god on theirs, while the Israelites have angels blowing down to Seemingly Nothing - an unseen God. This still would have been drawing from pagan beliefs and traditions.

Or, take for example, the narrative of Abraham sacrificing Isaac in Genesis 22. The followers of Molech would have commonly sacrificed their children to their idols to show upmost devotion to their god- so God tests Abraham to see if he has the same level of devotion to his God.

However, it is worth noting in both of these cases, God makes a point of doing something differently (unseen God on the ark, cancelling the sacrifice, verse 8 "God will provide for himself the lamb" foreshadowing Jesus)

There's probably many more examples of this. But it shows the Israelites would have been well acquainted with pagan culture instead of shelter, and even God was willing to adapt it.

I hate cashgrab music. You can clearly tell the difference between it and Christian music written (much of it centuries old) out of passion and love

The switch direct unironically made me want to get a steam deck. I guess no rush, though.

Depends on jurisdiction
