Christmas not strictly Pagan only. Some of it comes from ancient Romans too.

Ancient Rome and Greece were predominantly Pagan societies...



EDIT: Haha you guys beat me to it

Oh, well here I thought only the ancient Germanic people were pagans and the ancient Romans were something else. Learn something new every day. I suppose I should have paid more attention in European history.

Lots of people hear the word pagan and assume it refers to a specific, mostly satanic, religion.... That's not by accident.

 

[nouse4aname]

It was basically just a word used by Christians to refer to people who weren't Christian and thus OK to exterminate.

It's a common mistake, no harm in that.

We were on the same page basically regardless.

Almost. Jews and Muslims weren't called pagan, but yeah everyone else was.

End result is believe what you want, just don't try to introduce your faith into science class. Bill Nye repeatedly made that point.

Someone should link to the video of the 2012 Republican Presidential debate where most of the candidates declared they didn't believe in evolution

"Basically" will be the word of the day tomorrow

isnt that because those religions all go off of the old testament and are monotheistic?

 

[nouse4aname]

Also depends. Catholic church taught that anyone not baptized under the trinity(including Jews/Muslims) was pagan at times in history(and some churches continue to do so today).

I figured you knew, but not everyone knows these things. There are a lot of kids on here that only know about tints and ramz so I clarified for their benefit. Just look at the "Mein Kampf" guy in the member journal's section :lol:

Yeah they all believe in pretty much the exact same thing so they just have wars with each other over holy places and shit but don't try to totally exterminate each other :lol:
