C.S. Lewis on Pagan Parallels
God in the Dock (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, 1970)
And I still think that the agnostic argument from similarities between
Christianity and paganism works only if you know the answer. If you
start by knowing on other grounds that Christianity is false, then the
pagan stories may be another nail in its coffin: just as if you started
by knowing that there were no crocodiles then the various stories about
dragons might be helpful to confirm your disbelief. But if the truth or
falsehood of Christianity is the very question you are discussing, then
the argument from anthropology is surely a petitio.
