Yes, Christianity is a bastardised version of Paganism. . I started reading a bit about it after a wierd incident many years ago when I freaked out in a church - I'm not a Christian but was obliged to go to a funeral, when I went into the church it was like all my energy just went from me, I felt sick and dizzy and couldn't stop shaking, I felt like I was being drained of all my energy. someone explained that churches are built on the sites of Pagan places of worship, which were built in places of particular energy (maybe on ley lines etc?). It certainly makes sense as to why I felt only negative feelings. Perhaps this is also why, visiting a famous circle of standing stones I felt a very strange, but wonderful feeling of energy, like I was rooted to the ground, and like I'd stepped into another time and place, it was odd and very powerful, but not bad in any way, it was amazing. I hate celebrating christmas, it feels wrong, as it was really a pagan festival. I am not religious, but if there is any religion I can really relate to it is Paganism. (By the way it really annoys me that you go into bookshops now and there are all sorts of books telling you how to be a witch and cast spells etc - that is not the same thing at all.)

Of course. And the cross was an instrument of torture, and the Star of David is a pagan symbol, and I would love to discuss the obvious with you at some other time, but I have this little thing called a "real life" I need to get back to...

Yup! Funny how most people chose to ignore that (selective memory is an interesting thing).My birthday is a pagan holiday and I take great glee in pointing it out to people who think paganism is evil.

THANK YOU! And pagans have killed more humans over their beliefs than anyone,
because pagans have been around long before any "organized" religion. As well as destroyed anything that disagreed with them, like all humans do!

So I suppose you are setting yourself up as the great enlightener now?
As if anybody did not know about paganism.
Do you think there is only one brand of it?
Coming from someone who had three goes at spelling her name on here before getting it right (after I'd told you) I don't think you're much of an authority on anything.
This takes the biscuit.
Reaping.
Sowing.

No, paganism didn't begin until a few generations after Noah's Flood, about 4,400 years ago. (Noah worshipped the TRUE God - that's why he and his family were saved!) Noah's great-grandson, Nimrod, and his wife, Semiramis, began sun-worship, from which all ancient and modern pagan religions sprang. Noah's son Shem killed Nimrod, after which Semiramis found herself with child, and claimed she was impregnated by the sun-god, her husband. Therefore she and her son Tammuz were deified, which is where all forms of female-worship (Isis, Ishtar, Gaia, Marian worship, etc.) come from. Most forms of paganism today are forms of sun-worship or self-worship. Both of these are explicitly forbidden by Scripture.

IT STILL IS! Do you imagine Christianity to be something original?

There is a difference between true and popular.
