People and civilizations are blessed under God. So when they turn from God, the opposite is likely going to happen to them. It's simple logic.

Monotheism, worship of God, devolved into polytheism and paganism. The Bible talks about this. So from that perspective it's the other way around. A departure or devolution in people's worship of the Abrahamic God malformed into polytheism and cults. Christianity is God's attempt at bringing these people back to the proper form of worship and knowledge. The Bible and history illustrates this.

And Christians recognize Christmas as the birth of Jesus, not of a planet.

Also, on that note, christianity is an extremely cleverly designed religion. jesus is some blond haired, blue eyed (i know he's a arab, but bear with me) messiah that loves everyone. He's so loving, and easy to love, that its so easy to think of him as you heavenly father, and kill the infidels in his name. Very easily marketable.

Contrast to any religion, say Taoism. Have you seen Chinese gods? They're in all sorts of weird colours, with long sharp tongues and bulging eyes. Looks scary as fuk, definitely satanic. Look at the mesoamerican ones, not even fukking human, and they demand the hearts of men, pyramids smeared top to bottom in blood.

Yet, christianity has the highest kill count. I don't think its the religion per se, more like its easily marketable, easy to use as casus belli to kill filthy devil worshippers, easy to spread to the local populace and achieve cultural dominance.

Society, dominance and power is all I'm talking about, nothing about which religion is moral, or pro/anti=life, or if it is true or not.
Weak. Very weak.

When I say our modern problems I'm not talking about homelessness, I'm talking about mystery cults, transgenderism, ritual chid sacrifice, blood drinking and mass orgies which included children.

ROMANS

I'm going to try to make this post condensed but this goes very deep, I'm going to tell you who Jesus prayed to and why you should care

Ouranus is the "Father in Heaven".
Gaia is "Mother Earth".
Their marriage represents the union between Heaven and Earth, "As Above, So Below"

Ouranus hated his Children. He hid them away, returning them deep into the Earth(Gaia's womb).
Gaia resented her Husband, she made a weapon, she asked for help; one answered, two plotted.
Kronos is the youngest of the Titans. Kronos envied his Father's power.

While Heaven is being intimate with Earth, Kronos grabs Ouranus by the balls and castrates him with the weapon made by Gaia, a stone scythe.
The blood that landed upon Earth created Giants, Furies and Nymphs. The "white foam" from Heaven's balls landed on his brother, the Sea(Pontus) and created Aphrodite.
Kronos would take his Fathers place as the Supreme Authority. Kronos' reign as "Father in Heaven" would become known as the "Golden Age" or "Golden Rule"

Rhea is the Wife of Kronos and known as "Mother of the Gods"
Kronos was told he would meet the same fate as his Father at the hands of his Children. Kronos decided to eat his Children at birth. Rhea grows resentful after he consumes the 5th Child.
Rhea and Gaia plot against Kronos to save her 6th Child, the 6th Child is Zeus, the 6th Child would be the one to overthrow Kronos.
When Zeus was born Rhea switched him with a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes which Kronos ate. Zeus was then put in the custody of Earth.
When Zeus reached maturity he confronted his father. Zeus gave Kronos an emetic which caused him to vomit Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseiden and Hestia.
Zeus killed Kampe in Tartarus then released the Kyklopes and Hekatonkheires. They made Zeus thunderbolts, Poseidon the trident and Hades a helmet.
Thunderbolts for the Sky God, a fishing spear for the Sea God and a helmet for the God of Hell. They overthrew Kronos in a great war known as the "Titanomachy".
It is said Kronos went on to rule Elysium which was also known as "Fortunate Isles". Fortunate Isles is "Paradise". See the movie "The Island" for a cinematic rep.
Kronos is the Ruler of Paradise.





That is Saturn, he is the Roman equivalent of Kronos and he comes with the same back story, except it was his 3rd son that overthrew him. That is Saturn eating his children, he had a cult following.
This story of castrating the Father, the Father eating the children and the Son overthrowing the father does not originate with the Greeks and Romans, it comes from Mesopotamia.
Cube of Saturn - Saturnalia - Human sacrifice - The numbers I mention are important(3rd Son, 6th Son, ect) but I wont get into that now.

Saturnalia was a large festival in Rome to honor the God, Saturn.
The festival features gambling, drinking, dancing, music and an exchange of gag gifts.
Unfortunately the festival also included transgenderism, ritual child sacrifice, blood drinking, magick and mass orgies which included children.



Jupiter or "Jove" is Zeus' Roman equivalent. Jove is also known as "Luppiter"



Seal of Solomon

King Solomon built temples to Chomosh.

Chomosh is also known as Ashtar-Chemosh and Chemosh-Melek. These figures were associated with Ashtarte(Inanna/Aphrodite) and Moloch(Baal - Adon). Moloch is associated with child sacrifice and Yahweh carries the title Melek, some say YWH and MLK are one in the same. Adoni means "Lord". Adonis was Aphrodite's lover, Zeus ordered Adonis to spend 1/3rd of the year in the Underworld.

Christmas comes from the festival known as Saturnalia, during this festival gifts were given, children were sacrificed and women and man reversed roles and clothing. Transgenderism is not new.

Feast of the Holy Innocents is actually the Massacre of the Innocents. If you don't know about this yet you will find it highly interesting.

The man who painted:



Is the same man that painted this:



Saturday is God's day.

Shabbat is observed from a few minutes before sunset on Friday evening until theappearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday night.

Oh yeah, Jesus prayed to a Greek God who did not originate in Greece.
So you took unrelated pieces of mythology, art and religion, randomly threw them in a cauldron and then came up with a soup of nonsense.
I thought you were going to say something good about Phoenicia and the Canaan people tbh ...

Can you summarize the specifics of that bill?

A few cases =/= widespread adoption. The fact that there are many people (even LGBT peoples) speaking out against those things, shows that it's a fringe element of society.
"American Psychiatric Association (APA) released a new classification in their manual claiming ****philia is "a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas ****philic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality."
That's not normalization.

What you are saying is akin to saying that to have the diagnosis anti-social personality disorder is akin to supporting and promoting anti-social behaviour.

To say that some people have an attraction to children is not the same as saying it's OK to act on those feelings (hence the distinction).
Us "crazy Christians kept warning of the "slippery slope"..do you think maybe we were right?
No, because ****philia was not against the law for the majority of the world prior to the 20th century.

I would strongly advise researching into the history of age of consent laws, because I think you would be shocked to realize that ****philia and hebephilia was A OK even in Christian majority countries.

I do agree with the benefits of Christianity in bringing communities closer together and uniting people culturally/religiously.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

No, patriarchy existed in Europe long before Christianity. Patriarchy originates from the Indo-Europeans who invaded around 2500BC.

The renaissance happened in spite of Christianity not because of it. It was a resurgence of pre-Christian thinking.

Christianity is submission to a foreign culture.

I agree that modern atheism is a problem but so is Christianity.

World mythologies are connected, just look to the Holy Trinity. Tell me which pieces are unrelated and I'll tell you why they are.

I have much more than this, world history is long my friend. I was just trying to make it easily digestible. I have talked about Canaan before, I may talk about it here later.

I'll review your links.

Barker disagrees, saying that the Deuteronomic history was written by innovators who radically altered the Jewish religion and rewrote history to reflect their views. Moreover, the Josianic "reform" of 621 was itself a radical restructuring of the faith. Up to that time, she suggests, the Israelites had worshipped a trinity of gods: El, the high, absolute God; Yahweh, the national god of Israel ; and Asherah, Yahweh's consort. Contrary to what the current version of the Bible says, worship of this trinity was not an aberration, but the nation's standard religion up to that time. The Deuteronomic reform purged the goddess Asherah and conflated El with Yahweh, so that the national god of Israel was now equated with the high God. Monotheism as we know it was born.
I believe modern Judaism is stolen as well, what we have now is a plagiarized version of a purposefully lost original.

I'm going to get into the Great Mother and Asherah(Inanna/Ishtar/Astarte) later... maybe

The Holy Trinity connects the world... I may explain further.

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth. Saturnalia was established after early Christians recognized Dec. 25th as the day Jesus was born. Saturnalia doesn't even occur on Christmas day. Saturnalia ends on December 23, two days before Christmas. But the date that early Christians recognized as the birth day of Jesus occurs precisely on Dec. 25th. And Christians recognize Christmas as the birth of Jesus, not of a planet.
The bible is based on pagan religious practices. The Holy Trinity being a key example.

Christmas may be the celebration of the birth of Christ now but it actually started with Adam according to the Jews. Saturnalia predates Christ.

The Jewish festival of Kalanda takes place 8 days following the Tekufah, Saturnura(Saturnalia) takes place 8 days preceding the Tekufah.

Saturnalia did fall on December 25 depending on which time period and calendar you're referencing.

Saturnalia started as a 2 day festival which began on Dec 17. It later became a 7 day event climaxing on Dec 25

I still want to talk about the Nordic version of Saturnalia and the Yule Log they used to burn children to death for 12 days. I want to talk about Childermas as well. The mistletoe has Norse homosexual origins. There is still much to discuss my friends.



"The Mishna and Talmud (Avodah Zara 8a) describe a pagan festival called Saturnura which occurs for eight days before the winter solstice. It is followed for eight days after the solstice with a festival called Kalenda culminating with the Kalends of January. The Talmud ascribes the origins of this festival to Adam, who saw that the days were getting shorter and thought it was punishment for his sin. He was afraid that the world was returning to the chaos and emptiness that existed before creation. He sat and fasted for eight days. Once he saw that the days were getting longer again he realized that this was the natural cycle of the world, so made eight days of celebration. The Talmud states that this festival was later turned into a pagan festival. Later on in the page, the Talmud calls it Saturnalia."

This is where the logical aspect of that argument falls apart. The bible, and Christian history, is explicit about a move away from paganism and polytheism, a conversion of those things to God. A polytheistic, paganistic Roman Empire fell and was converted to Christianity and the worship of God. Rome was converted away from polytheism and paganism through Jesus. So was the majority of Europe. You can't have that type of profound event and guidance happen without divine intervention. You don't have a substantial move away from paganism if you are yourself a practicing pagan.

Christmas is the celebrated birth date of Jesus. That's literally it. Some Christians formed a consensus on what day to celebrate the birth of Jesus, one of the oldest ones was specifically Dec. 25th, and they went with it. That's literally it. That's all Christmas is, a celebration of that date and belief. I can't find anything informative on Saturnalia culminating on Dec. 25th. Even still, the date of the birth of Jesus being on Dec. 25 occurred before Saturnalia anyway, particularly before the switch from Saturnalia as a 2 day festival to a 7 day festival. So even granting that Saturnalia culminates on Dec. 25th, it's like saying that since your birthday is Sep. 11th, despite being born prior to the 911 attacks, that your birthday celebrates the 911 attacks. Doesn't really make sense.

You can have 2 events occur on the same day without one celebrating the other.

Christians used pagan traditions to help other communities feel comfortable about converting. I think that's pretty well known.
