Going down can yield different fruits depending on the sex of the beloved, or perhaps the jews were/are polymorphic perverts?

Here are some other comparison of where Christianity got its stuff by Professor Eugene N. Lane

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Religion evolves.

Nothing ever evolves in a population of 1 or that different from other members of the population.

But he's not wrong. Those memes going around stretch around the block making up similarities to Jesus instead of focusing on the real similarities. Like although neither Jesus nor Mithras was 'born' on Dec 25th, they share that date for the holidays honoring them.

Some pretty questionable scholarship there.

Indeed they are not, but if one is using a meme to genuinely make a point as big as the ones linked above were, then it is a good idea to make sure its got accurate info on it.
