Accurate Description of Abrahamic Religions

I was reading the news earlier today when I ran into this description of Abrahamic religions.

Think of religion as you'd think of a movie.  The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel.  Then the Qu'ran comes out and reconstructs the last one like it never happened.  There's still Jesus, but he's not the main character anymore, and the messiah hasn't shown up yet.

Jews like the first movie but ignored the sequels, like with the Matrix Trilogy.  Christians think you need to watch the first two, but the third movie doesn't count, like with The Godfather Trilogy.  Moslems think that the third one was the best, like with the Star Wars prequels.  Mormons like the second movie so much that they started writing fan fiction that doesn't fit with any of the series canon.

I can't find who the original author was -- please let me know in the comments for full credit.

Cheers!

  MaggieL here...this Googled up pretty close. The use of the insider term "retcon" suggests it may be the original
