Not only would it be the local representing Jesus as one of them, but the Catholic church would've promoted such images, because they knew it would be easier to convert people that way. They would also find similarities between Christian characters and stories and the local religion's characters and stories. They would actively encourage people to equate their local ideas with Christian ones. Now we have poor souls in far flung places around the world turned into greedy Christians through such subversive manipulation.

Imagine if someone with the exact same body as Jesus, who knew the exact same things, and preached the exact same things was here today on Earth? Most Christians wouldn't accept what he has to say. They'd be scared. Tens of millions of white Christians would NOT want someone like that in any sort of position of enlightened master.

@annaclarafenyo8185 You call ME the propagandist? Nah-uh. Not today. Those Catholics were very bad people. They actually thought non-Christians were savages. They weren't teaching the universality of myths. They were indoctrinating people while destroying their way of life. You're so lost if you think Catholics didn't destroy local traditions. Look at what happened to South America. It's almost all Catholic. So many traditional cultures destroyed. Languages gone, belief systems gone, ways of eating gone, ... Of course it wasn't only Catholics. Protestants certainly did their share in North America. Catholics went around the world destroying cultures though. Still do.
