I honestly cannot find any counter arguments. Can you?
I'm listing these in order of those I identified by skimming through the complete pdf version of the site.
1) The etymological account of the Torah: "The Hebrew written "Five Books of Moses" also known as the "Pentateuch", along with the "Torah" were STOLEN and CORRUPTED from the Egyptian "TAROT."" Here's the etymology of Tarot:
"Etymology: < French tarot (also 16th cent. tarault , tarau ), < Italian *tarocco (plural tarocchi ): see taroc n." (OED)
and here's Torah: Etymology: Hebrew tōrāh ‘direction, instruction, doctrine, law’, < yārāh ‘to throw’, in Hiphil ‘to show, direct, instruct’. (OED)
2) "The fictitious Jewish "God" "Yaweh/Jehova's" name was inserted, replacing the names of many Gentile/Pagan Gods. The entity "Jehova" is fictitious. The name "Jehova" was stolen from the Roman God "Jove" for one."First, "Yahweh" is a modern spelling of the tetragrammaton. The Hebrew (and more generally Semitic) alphabets lacked vowels other than aleph. Thus the proper transliteration of Yahweh is YHWH. As for Jove: Etymology: < Latin Jov-em accusative (other oblique cases Jovis, Jovi, Jove) of Old Latin Jovis, for which in the classical period the compound Juppiter, Jūpiter (= Jovis-pater) was substituted; in Italian Giove." (OED, see also e.g., Buck's comparative grammar and the more recent reference comparative grammar by Sihler). Latin had no "j". This was a later scribal practice to distinguish the "y" sound of certain "i's" in Latin from the vowel "i" in Latin. Also, references to YHWH predate any Latin literature and can be found in Ugaritic texts.
3) "Mithra, the celestial intermediary between Ahura Mazda and Angra Manyu [Ahriman], has numerous striking parallels with the Nazarene 'Jesus Christ.'" This is drivel that has somehow managed to last repeated demonstrations of its obvious falsehood because apparently so many people would prefer to trust random websites than specialists in Greco-Roman religions or the Mythras cult more specifically (e.g., Beck, Burkert, Clauss, etc.). It's Frazer stripped of even the evidence he managed to muster.
4) Skimming down, most of the sources that the Bible is said to have stolen from don't exist apart from references to them and post-Biblical compositions.
5) "The resurrection is a common theme found in numerous completely different religions throughout the world, symbolic of a descent to the underworld and a later return. Mesopotamia: Ishtar's/Inanna's descent and return [she was resurrected from the dead], Egypt: Osiris, God of the Underworld was resurrected, Greece: Persephone's descent into the underworld and return, the list of resurrected Gods is extensive and is based a concept, not actual characters."
All wrong. Not only does one only find "numerous resurrections" in various religions by ignoring what resurrection means as well as glossing over the need to actual cite specific sources rather than popular mythology collections, but even these don't actually get us to "resurrection" (Osiris was reassembled except for his Penis, Persephone didn't die, and in these and other cases there are multiple versions some of which were influenced by Christianity: "A second impetus behind the growth of pagan mono theism was the influence of Christianity itself. Jan Bremmer has noted how, from the second century onwards, apparently new mystery religions appeared, devoted to gods who die and resurrect, such as Atis, or act as personal saviours, such as Mithras...G. W. Bowerstock has drawn attention to the fondness of late paganism for trinities"

6) "THE NUMEROUS TRINITIES"
. See above.
7) "The Norse God Odin preceded Jesus the Christ." However, our sources about him were transmitted by Christian monks who Christianized German and Celtic myths.
8) "Below is a further list of Gods who hung from trees" basically none of whom did, but this is meaningless as apart from the idiom in Paul which refers to crucifixion as hanging upon a tree or pole, there isn't any tradition that holds Jesus was hanged on a tree.
9) "the word "Pagan" means 'Gentile.'" Actually,
pāgānus meant "rustic" or "country dweller", and was equated with paganism because of Tertullian's
De Corona Miites.
10) Most of the Eastern references gloss over the actually modern creation of what we regard to be Hinduism and Buddhism; see e.g., Clarke, J. J. (2002).

11) "Yet, in spite of this, the Christian Church murdered en masse, those accused of being witches, sorcerers and those of Pagan religions" They did murder tends of thousands of accused witches over a few centuries. Before that, they made pagan persecution of witchcraft illegal (the two largest witch trials known, during witch more accused witches were executed at one time than across all of Europe for a typical entire year during the "burning times", occurred in pre-Christian Rome).
12) "During the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine CE 306-337 the doctrines of the Christian church were regarded as the foundation of law.4 Heretics [persons who opposed church teachings, or who were even accused of such] were sought out, tortured and eventually murdered". In reality, "The pagan Roman Empire, as mentioned earlier, executed hundreds of Christians for refusing to endorse the validity of its system of religion. There is no doubt from the sources that it did so in appalling ways, including burning alive, drowning and throwing them to hungry beasts; young girls were sent to brothels. All this was judicial atrocity, and in addition pagan mobs murdered some of the followers of Christ without any official sanction. By contrast, once in power the Christians tended to attack deities but spare humans: they destroyed images and wrecked holy places while leaving the worshippers alone. There is no recorded case of an execution of a person for following the older religions in the first two centuries of the Christian Roman Empire. Nor is there a certain one of the death of any at the hands of a Christian mob...Nor were heretics put to death, for the victorious sections of the early Church were only concerned to deprive them of places of worship, not of life."

13) "As we can see from the above, the Christian "religion" is based upon stolen material that has been twisted, warped, and distorted to manipulate, confuse and incite fear into humanity. It has taken the ORIGINAL GOD AND CREATOR OF HUMANITY EA/ENKI aka SATAN/LUCIFER and turned him into an assumed enemy of humanity. "We shall destroy God" -- The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Christianity has been used to blaspheme, ridicule and malign the Old Gods, create estrangement and enmity from legitimate deities of which it replaced with the false god "Yaweh/Jehova." In addition, this monstrous program is used as a tool to create a defenseless mentality; that of a slave, to psychologically disarm the Gentile populace into accepting communism, another Jewish brotherhood program."
Karl Marx must be rolling over in his grave. Communism was a tool of Christianity that originated in a Jewish botherhood program. Oh, and the Hebrew "adversary" as well as the Vulgate translation of a morning star deity is the true god. Right. I'm bored now.
