I'm not going to bother arguing with fools using half ass arguments, false sources and those who don't know their terminology
dude, the catholic church literally admits to allowing idoltry
or some forms of it anyway
@Deleted User everyone knows 80% of christian practices are ripped off of pagan ones
These are the most legalistic arguments I've ever seen
jesus wasnt even born on christmas, they just say he was to convert the pagans who worshiped the winter solstace
Christmas is a pagan holiday yes
Saint Nicholas, or Santa, is also a pagan myth
Catholics worship a monarch
Wodin would ride on a sleigh pulled by wolves on the Wyld Hunt on the winter solstace to fight the frost giants, he usually is found wearing a red coat
this is literally the origin of santa
aka Saint Nicholas
to intice the pagans in Britannia to convert
Why should I worship god through "saints"
Constantine, from 312 A.D. until his death in 337, was engaged in the process of simultaneously building pagan temples and Christian churches, and was slowly turning over the reins of his pagan priesthood to the Bishop of Rome. However, the family of Constantine did not give up the last vestige of his priesthood until after the disintegration of the Roman Empire – that being the title the emperors bore as heads of the pagan priesthood – Pontifex Maximus – a title which the popes would inherit. The popes also inherited Constantine's titles as the self-appointed civil head of the church – Summus Pontifex (Vicar of Christ and Bishop of Bishops).

All I care about now is that most churches are dumb
also, on that note, before the day ends
@Deleted User @㊀㊁㊂㊃㊄㊅㊆㊇㊈㊉ You guys keep fucking throwing so much shit instead of staying on one topic, but one thing I must say. You're actually retarded to believe the lie concocted by the Puritans in the 17th century, considering that the pagan festival of Saturnalia ended on December 23rd, so the pagans didn't even celebrate anything on December 25th. Anyhow, I'm done with this autism.
That's why I'm non denominational
i hope you had a happy Samhain
@Deleted User yep
No
Yes.
@Deleted User calender difference bud,
pagan rituals and idols gradually took on Christian meanings and names and were incorporated into "Christian" worship (e.g., "saints" replaced the cult of pagan gods in both worship and as patrons of cities; mother/son statues were renamed Mary and Jesus; etc.), and pagan holidays were reclassified as Christian holy days (e.g., the Roman Lupercalia and the feast of purification of Isis became the Feast of the Nativity; the Saturnalia celebrations were replaced by Christmas celebrations; an ancient festival of the dead was replaced by All Souls Day, rededicated to Christian heroes [now Halloween]; etc.).
the calender back then had what? 10 months? it was converted, so things will be off a few days
Any non denominationals?

The church=/= god
