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?
