Christians killed pagans, then stole their traditions

Sunday, December 18, 2005

Once again we enter the holiday season when Christians begin parroting a barrage of falsehoods and misrepresentations.

Early Christians did more than just take the "virgin born resurrected deity" myth from the Pagans. They also took the communion, 12 disciples, the fish symbol, the star of the east, the clasped-hands prayer position, the miracle-working central cult figure, the return delusion and numerous other myths, theological fairy tales and rituals.

It wouldn't be correct to say that those early doomsday cultists actually stole these theological inventions from the pagans. Instead, what happened was that several groups of Jews began combining elements of Judaism with Greek, Egyptian and other pagan religions. They eventually became called Christians.

It would not be long, however, before these overblown doomsday cultists began committing large-scale acts of vandalism and murder, now actually stealing the fairy tales of the people they brutalized. Please don't believe the lies of the myth-pushers or their brainwashed victims.

What should we believe? Where did the pagans get the idea to make this holiday the birthday of their imaginary gods?

I have a holiday card that depicts a character who is telling the truth about the natural origins of Christmas. It says, "I'm the reason for your holiday season" -- the Sun.

I believe it is truly immoral, and even criminal, to claim that Christian fairy tales are uniquely Christian. In reality, it is an act of re-stealing from and re-murdering our ancient ancestors.

Believe the truth. Merry solstice.
