Shouldn't we discount the parts that the Christians adopted from them?

If all ancient Babylonian religious stories are fables, shouldn't we discount the ones that the Jews adopted during the Babylonian Exile?

If all ancient Egyptian beliefs are false, shouldn't we discount the Resurrection, since the idea was taken from the Egyptians and not the Hebrew Bible?

If the ancient Sacraments of Mithras and Dionysus are pointless, shouldn't we consider the modified version that the Christians copied from them equally pointless?

If you laugh at the Ascension of the Deified Julius Caesar to the Heavens, on a comet, as witnessed by many and testified to under oath in front of the Roman Senate, shouldn't you also laugh at the conflicting tales of the Ascension of Jesus, remembered by no one but invented long after he had died?

Why do you believe the ancient Greeks writing about their nonsense comments?

Why believe the fable stories and discount some stories>

We should discount parts in places where religious people adopt parts from other religions to place their beliefs on if it were true. Other places that are adopted are for cultural acceptance's [easter bunny,santa,etc..]. Yes Mithra and Dionysus were attributed to an ascension and virgin birth before Jesus was born, But way after it was prophesied that Jesus would be born, therefore who copied from who? One discounts Julius Caesar's diety from the life he lead. 3 marriages, and 4 female lovers. He couldn't live up to his own rules in other area's of his life. Gauss Octavian was only voted diety because he was Julius's adopted son, [great-nephew by blood], But for diety, one must be perfect.

Shouldn't we discount the parts that the Christians adopted from them?"

Indeed, we should provided your first assertion is true. But it isn't true. Every religious belief of ancient Greece is not considered nonsense; you conclusion, therefore, does not follow.

This theory can justify why there are similarities between myths of diverse civilizations even nevertheless it could additionally justify why todays religions correspond to myths. you may desire to evaluate each and every faith to affix mythology because of the fact for us they're merely memories of 1000's of years and not something reported or defined might properly be extremely precise, the only component left to evaluate is your theory in god and what you have faith god is
