I never said it was stricly scholars did I? I never claimed the whole history, just the bits we know

The original jews came and amalgamated with the cannanites. And practiced paganism

The jews were down trodden - so they got rid of polytheism

The jews were down trodden by the Babylonians- so they got rid of the woman, and did almost everything opposite of the current pagan traditions of the area (with hints from other traditions, like the story of moses, and noahs flood (both from Babylonian texts), like have one god represent everything.

The jews were down trodden by rome - so they take more civs beliefs (not on purpose), add it to their own, and you get early very early christianity. No matter what, no old school rivalry or religious bias cant disprove pure fact.
