and it's a feast-day not a birthday

2018-07-04 23:52:43 UTC  

We are talking about mutual consenting marriages

2018-07-04 23:52:44 UTC  

The winter solstice is a pretty universal constant in religions

2018-07-04 23:52:44 UTC  

Dont worry the jewish people did similar as well. Thats why much older religions are parrotted in modern ones

2018-07-04 23:53:02 UTC  

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Christmas is a feast-day not a birthday

2018-07-04 23:53:05 UTC  

It makes for easier conversions

2018-07-04 23:53:47 UTC  

Christian feast days were also called Holy-days...which we now call Holidays

2018-07-04 23:54:07 UTC  

Not originally

2018-07-04 23:54:23 UTC  

I just said that

2018-07-04 23:54:33 UTC  

St Patrick's day! yay

2018-07-04 23:54:53 UTC  

It was changed as this reality came to light. So again. Things were taken. Yes some adjusted later but still taken all the same :)

2018-07-04 23:55:55 UTC  

you are misconscruing the reasons

2018-07-04 23:56:56 UTC  

Lol you dont think it was for easier converting of pagans while streamlining the scriptures?

2018-07-04 23:57:09 UTC  

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)

2018-07-04 23:58:04 UTC  

You realize the *resurrection* story has grounds in 4 other far older religions?

2018-07-04 23:58:17 UTC  

Just jumping around

2018-07-04 23:58:23 UTC  

throwing random points

2018-07-04 23:58:38 UTC  

The hero's story is a common story

2018-07-04 23:59:09 UTC  

Egyptian, Zoastrian, Hindu, cant remember the fourth I think roman/greco

2018-07-04 23:59:37 UTC  

Romulas is a misnomer

2018-07-04 23:59:46 UTC  

yes, and the world is held up by 4 dwarfs. There are 7 billion humans and uncountable dead humans, things have been done before

2018-07-04 23:59:55 UTC  

they are not that similar upon closer comparison

2018-07-05 00:00:07 UTC  

Um look into the story of set

2018-07-05 00:00:27 UTC  

Are all stories that have a similar story arc the same?

2018-07-05 00:00:38 UTC  

is star wars the same as LOTR?

2018-07-05 00:00:51 UTC  

That is not a very compelling argument

2018-07-05 00:00:56 UTC  

for anything

2018-07-05 00:01:00 UTC  

Yes. Killed as a sacrifice, various days, then resurrection

2018-07-05 00:01:05 UTC  

No

2018-07-05 00:01:08 UTC  

just swap the god of choice for jesus

2018-07-05 00:01:15 UTC  

Romulas was not resurrected

2018-07-05 00:01:22 UTC  

I didnt say romulus

2018-07-05 00:01:27 UTC  

Did I

2018-07-05 00:01:34 UTC  

Debate a ghost

2018-07-05 00:01:34 UTC  

YOu said rome

2018-07-05 00:01:44 UTC  

I said I wasnt sure the 4th

2018-07-05 00:01:45 UTC  

roman/greco

2018-07-05 00:01:52 UTC  

That is the one i know

2018-07-05 00:02:03 UTC  

I have not looked at the other three though

2018-07-05 00:02:08 UTC  

Cool I wasnt sure on that one it could have been any other

2018-07-05 00:02:22 UTC  

The story closer resembles the hindu and egyptian tales
