I still think it's a fallacious line to be drawn, ya know? It is like saying, "Since this here apple tree and orange tree have some strikingly similar characteristics (they both have branches & bark, they produce a round tastey fruit, they both have green leaves, they grow in the same orchid, etc), then the apple tree must've come from the orange tree." It's an interesting idea, but nothing I would consider a convincing proof.

So how would you explain the use of common imagery?

Why is it that Judeo-Christianity share the same motifs as all the other who knows how many traditions, but yet one is taken as absolute truth as if it were created in a divine vaccum, and those other endless traditions are myth?

True christianity and its Bible does NOT have any pagan influences.
Todays pseudo christianity no doubt was and is an evolving religion.
But True christianity was and is not!
Pseudo christianity borrowed many ideas from evolving pagan religions.
such as:
belief of the Syballines, Mithraism, Buddhism, the egyptian tryads, the hindu tryads, zoroateriansm, and etc.

ALL of these were EVOLVING beliefs and it is simple with most of these to find out its beginnings.
And ESPECIALLY Mithraism and zoroasterianism borrowed from Judaism.
(true christianity being from Judaism- and in which Christianity is the TRUE Judaism)
