No, far from it - Christianity is a religion that follows the teaching of the Son of God, Jesus, who is also God, one of the Holy Trinity, who died for our sins so that we might be saved and have eternal life. It replaced pagan worship in a lot of cases. It does not worship nature - that is pantheism - a heresy condemned by the early Christian Church and does not believe nature is evil, half evil or other wise - nature was created by God and is good - read Genesis. However, we believe that it needs restoration - not evil, but corrupted in some cases by man - we must work at restoring God's creation.

While it may have some aspects of pagan religions, Christianity--itself is not pagan. That it exhibits some paganistic traits is a given because when Christianity came into being, other lands throughout the earth had their versions of knowing and worshipping "a greater Being." They worshipped in their own ways, with their own ceremonies, etc. When Christ was introduced, these different lands incorporated what they learned about Christ into their existing traditions and ceremonies. There now, with all that said, my answer is, "No, Christianity is NOT a pagan religion."

Wrong, it only believes that we have inherited the knowledge of good and evil and therefore have a propensity to be sinful. It says that ALL can be saved and it says that God is All-good and God is love. That's diferent from a pagan religion that says its OK to have both good and evil natures and to experiment with both natures and that the "gods" they worship are both good and evil( a confusion by Jewish and Christian standards between the good and demons or deceiving spirits)

Christianity is a political system that was designed by the Roman nobility after 313AD to control their masses of slaves and protect them from the slaves. Christianity's function was to convert "chattel" slavery to serfdom and keep the slaves in absolute control and profitable for the Roman aristocracy. It's slave control tactics and ideology was so successful that it ended all slave revolts and efforts to escape for 1500 years, until the American and French revolutions in 1775 and 1789. Today, it works 24/7 to try to restore the aristocracy and re-enslave all of the workers of it's society as they were before 1775.

I believe Christianity has it's roots in ancient Egyptian religion. Isis was the sun goddess, her husband Osiris was the god of the underworld. From there it branched out into different religious sects, Christianity being one sect, built mainly on the Mithras religion. Early Christian churches were built side-by-side to temples of Isis. The vatican is built on an ancient Mithra temple. So yes, it is based on nature, and mostly on astrology. The 12 apostles, 12 months, 12 signs of zodiac, etc.
Pagan simply means "country-dweller" -- nothing sinful about it.

contridictory...'for many will come in My Name.....' Jesus
