You don't inherit religion.You choose it.I was born into a family which practiced the Jehovah's witness faith.I am not a Jehovah's witness because I do not choose to follow that faith.
I said Christianity borrowed its holidays and traditions from paganism.Easter was the spring equinox/fertility celebration.Halloween/all saints was Samhain.You get it.They incorporated these holidays to win more pagans over. The bible itself has nothing to do with paganism.It is a story which lays out the basic mythology of the Christian faith.
No, my quotes are accurate, as are my interpretations.
Just wondering.Because you argued,in another thread, so passionately about Jesus, I assumed you came to argue with pagan folk about dogma.
One who dabbles in many things and yet is a master of none is called a dilletante. I choose to see the hate in myself.I'm an agnostic with atheist leanings.
Never said I was the authority on it. Paganism is just a general term which describes those who follow the old faiths, worship the earth,wiccans, etc.
No, quite simply, I believe Jesus is a myth.I hope you're not inferring that I'm either dumb or illiterate because I don't agree with you.Well to to Clarify your Doubt? This is from the How Many Christians on This Site Thread

I'm a Christian by Blood, Not Relations
And it is who you believe HeyZeus Christ to be through your choice of preferred limited interpertation, not mine....Just like time after time this Bogus arguement of when someone use Capital G instead of lil g, it must refer to a Person, while in the school I went to.... capitalization meant to depict a proper Person, Place, or Thing, so either those who choose to argue this is either Dumb or, illiterate as to they cannot comprehend the meaning being conveyed........

And because I must have a lack of good understanding, I won't qoute you but you just said in about 1 or 2 posts back that Christanity was Birthed from Paganism and Yet now nothing to do with each other or the Bible......
No, my quotes are accurate, as are my interpretations.
You interpet and misquote the bible using parts of the story to try and prove a point w/o also explaining the whole context for which those verses are placed......Your interpetations are close to true, but the truth is it's the ART of War that was being conveyed in those verses, as in many primitive cultures then and woefully Now......
Just wondering.Because you argued,in another thread, so passionately about Jesus, I assumed you came to argue with pagan folk about dogma.
I never said you had to fit in my personal exclusive club. I'm merely seeking clarification.You're awfully defensive.You Say I'm a Christian, I'm A Christian.....OK what's your point
Nope, I see plenty of hate in myself, and I embrace it wholeheartedly.Without hate,one cannot understand love.Before I truely understood Pagans, Atheist, Rhasta, or anything else....I took up their practices unknowingly and would have Cursed any who said I Did, but I AM all of these thing, but not b/c it doesn't fit into your personal Exclusive Club...GTF
You talk about how religion, gawd, and everything is filled with Hate, but you fail to see the Hate in your own Self....
One who dabbles in many things and yet is a master of none is called a dilletante. I choose to see the hate in myself.I'm an agnostic with atheist leanings.
I'm Pagan, Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Buddhis, Rhasta, etc....b/c I chose to see the Hate within Myself, which ultimately is leading me to my Spiritual Emacipation..
Never said I was the authority on it. Paganism is just a general term which describes those who follow the old faiths, worship the earth,wiccans, etc.
So earlier I asked what is Paganism, tell me the Way since you are the Authority on it
