But the exact same type of "similarities" in Mary to pagan myths is evidence, to you, of compromise and influence.

No. Not the exact type of similarities. Pagan ressurections are myth, Jesus' isn't. In Mary's case Diana's perpetual virginity is a myth and so is Mary's.

Diana's original virginity is a myth... was Mary's?
Diana was a myth... Was Mary?

It's a self defeating argument.

Yes, like I said. The arbiter is whether you believe it or not, not any objective criteria.
