[quote][b]ET (12/26/2007)[/b][hr][quote][b]Krispy Kirk (12/25/2007)[/b][hr]"xmas"???!! What are you, some kind of heathen? :hehe:

...that was a joke there bro. Pagans and today's "holiday" go togther like apple pie and cheese. Heck, I went around last week cheekily wishing all my coworkers "Happy Solstice" (because that's really what we're celebrating here.)

But since "Christianity" is about the most pagan religion on the planet (just shy of all-out witchcraft)...

Merry Christmas everybody![/quote]

Christianity was spreading fast in the so-called final days of the Roman Empire and the more the Pagans persecuted the Christians, the more people seemed to convert to Christianity. So, if you can't beat them...you join them. AKA "infiltration." Christianity became "paganized" by Constantine and he basically merged the two in an attempt to save the Roman Empire. Which resulted in the formation of the Roman Catholic Church and the Caesars becoming "Popes." The pagan holidays were overlapped/replaced with Christian holidays. The pagan idols were renamed as "statues" of the saints, such as Peter and Paul. Thus, real Christianity was hard to see and cloaked in a bunch of paganized ritual and ceremony that has no relationship with the genuine Christianity taught by Christ.[/quote]Interesting E.T..
