Is the Winter Solstice a Christian Holiday? I don't think so.

Do you celebrate christmas? Or even easter? Have you ever celebrated christmas or easter?

[Netwriter]

When I was a christian I did celebrate christmas. Now I celebrate the winter solstice. Like Christmas, Easter is also a pagan holiday that was stolen by Christianity. I need to make a video about Easter it seems.

I bet Mummers, like the Carolers of today, were told to get the hell off of people's doorsteps also.

IT'S 9 O FUCKING CLOCK! DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE SOME HOMELESS PEOPLE TO BOTHER OR SOMETHING?!

@ellimist6 Christianity itself is pagan. They follow bastardized Roman pagan traditions not the Commandments and laws that Yah had provided. Hell... even the Messiah (Yeshua not Jesus) got bastardized and given a make over (the white image of Caesare Borgia), but the average Christian will tell you he doesn't care.

Some believers view December pagan rituals and secular celebrations as insults to Christianity. To them, this validates their own Christian beliefs, as such celebrations are clearly oriented around Christmas. Of course, to the educated among us, they only show their ignorance that the complete opposite is true. Even when I considered myself a devout Christian, I was aware of this, and it pained me that ignorant commentators were so vocal and passionate about a holiday they didn't understand.

"Romans stole the Greek Gods"

Not entirely. See, the first 3 houses of what we would call 'Romans', were actually FROM Greece. They sailed and settled on the land. So, in reality, they just brought the Gods with them, and later changed their names. =P

Ha! Fun quiz and information. The Nutcracker music is a perfect touch. The wikipedia article on Saturnalia is fascinating - I highly suggest it, if you haven't already read it.

romans they stole the greek gods and gave them new names kind of funny though as long as there still there but have different names there still there helping people

I don't need a holiday on when I need to buy stuff, I buy it and be happy (when I have the money).
