The pagan hero -> saint thing is legit
you need citations
The counsel of nicea was about making a sect of Christianity Heretical
That was what converted Emperor Constantine
Saints are people who ahieve greatly through divine intervention is the generally accepted simple-definition. Pagans and non-believers can become saints
*"That which is presented without evidence can be denied with the same"*
And yet you have provided nothing for your claim <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Some easy reading for you
<:deus_vult:382980746727522305> Heretic
But everything from christs *birthday* to many of the stories and saints were pagan in origination
lol the calendar of the church?
christ's birthday was moved
What are you even arguing about
and it's a feast-day not a birthday
We are talking about mutual consenting marriages
The winter solstice is a pretty universal constant in religions
Dont worry the jewish people did similar as well. Thats why much older religions are parrotted in modern ones
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Christmas is a feast-day not a birthday
It makes for easier conversions
Not originally
I just said that
St Patrick's day! yay
It was changed as this reality came to light. So again. Things were taken. Yes some adjusted later but still taken all the same :)
you are misconscruing the reasons
Lol you dont think it was for easier converting of pagans while streamlining the scriptures?
the church legitimised the divine interventions of the pagan saints as divine interventions, and they moved feast-days to make easter less jumpled up (Christ's original feast day was nearer to summer than winter)
You realize the *resurrection* story has grounds in 4 other far older religions?
Just jumping around
throwing random points
The hero's story is a common story
Egyptian, Zoastrian, Hindu, cant remember the fourth I think roman/greco
Romulas is a misnomer
yes, and the world is held up by 4 dwarfs. There are 7 billion humans and uncountable dead humans, things have been done before
they are not that similar upon closer comparison
Um look into the story of set
Are all stories that have a similar story arc the same?
is star wars the same as LOTR?
That is not a very compelling argument
for anything
