Yeah, can you imagine paganism polluting a religion about a man hung on a tree and/or resurrected? *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 18/10/2010 10:19:25 PM
That's just shooting from the hip, though. I could be muddling hymn lyrics with actual scripture, so don't quote me.

I think a more important question of significance would be this:

What if Christianity had never been received by the Roman Empire?

That's led to a lot of the problems we see with it today, IMO. We're better off as a persecuted faith. A lot of pagan practices and rituals were wrapped up into it once it became "official."
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
