I think there is enough evidence for the symbology of the sacrificial lamb in 
ancient Judea (which, of course, is MUCH more likely to be related to 
Christianity).  Just see the Old Testamant.  I wouldn't think that anyone 
would feel the need to try and find an explanation for it in an obscure 
mystery cult that sacrificed bulls.
Aye,
