Easter (The Story of Attis)

This is the true story of Cybele and her son Attis. Seriously. I didn't make it up:) What we now call easter was previously celebrated by the pagans as the ressurection of the god born of a virgin. Attis.

present day religion is ripped off from old religion, and the religion back then is from even older religion, so on and so forth

Haha, that's Pete & Pete's dad!

So easter eggs are a metaphor for eating Attis's dismembered balls? Eeew. Easter is pretty filthy in general when you think about it. Bunnies and eggs and chocolate, it's basically a celebration of fucking.

I've read that Attis was born of the virgin NANA.

Some people will say that the Attis cult stole this 3-day celebration from Christianity, but the pagans wrote that it was Christianity copying them, and they would know. Christians had no option but to charge that Satan had projected mockeries of Christ into the past lol. I think that tells us who had these practices longer.

The three days of waiting dates back to the Sumerian tale of Inanna's and Tammuz's descent, older even than the OT.

Sigmund Freud came up with some very bizarre theories based on the story of Oedipus (sp?)

I can only imagine the ideas he might of formulated from this Attis!
