It's almost as if they'd rather their god didn't exist, than be the conglomerate of divinity it's known to be. The consonance between christianity and pagan narrative motiffs was it's greatest strength, early on...and it was used as a recruiting tool well into the middle ages. Now, it's an embarrassment, lol.
It detracts from their claim of divine inspiration if Christianity is viewed as anything less than butt fuckingly original.
