A Note on Sources:
Enemies of
Christianity,
revisionists, and people who just really, really want to sell books have produced a great number of articles, books, and websites on the subject of the debt
Christianity owes to
paganism. Some of them are
factual and
authentic; the authors of others, however, got caught up in
greed,
hate, or some other kind of
passion, and the product was a work containing
half-truths,
specious arguments, or downright
lies. Similarly, some members of the
Christian camp who believe that drawing a relationship between
Greek Religion and
Christianity would discredit their beliefs have gotten caught up in an equal
passion and reply to arguments for a relationship between
Greek mythology and
Christianity with fruitless attacks that don't actually respond to questions raised. Interestingly, many such books and websites actually have some seemingly good interpretations of hard evidence; they simply mire it in
muck.
