Pagan Origins of Easter

[kai]

christians took over all the exidting festivals in my country and made them their own it was a kind of second roman invasion that has lasted somewhat longer than the first one

Blindly accusing my people of hatemongering is quite intolerant honestly. I believe that Christ is the True and only Path to salvation. Others disagree with me. We peacefully coexist.

It is not coexisting when Christians have the tendency to demonise another religion.

And that's exactly what Paul did, when he wrote the Corinthian verse ( 1 Corinthians 10:20) about paganism. When he associated the gods of other religion to that of the Devil, then he is demonising it. That's propaganda, pure and simple.

There's nothing peaceful with that.

And Christians still do this today.

Did you forget what Paul did before he converted? He persecuted Christians without ever understanding Jesus' teaching. What he said in Corinthian is no different. He demonised Christians without understanding them. And now that he is a Christian, he would demonise pagans without understanding paganism.

And you have done it post #38, associating paganism with orgies, drunkness and drugs. You have basically parroted Paul's propaganda, without a second thought. So you should understand that I don't greet you with open arms.
