Reply #27: Amateur neo-pagan revisionism? [View All]

"Actually, "Christmas" and "Easter" have nothing to do with christianity. They are attempts by the early church to undermine pagan religions by usurping their nature-worship holidays, winter solstice (mid-winter), and spring equinox. In fact, Easter is the name of a pagan goddess (Eostre), and Santa / Saint Nick, well, you can guess he's not exactly christian (it's Norse). Attempts to place events in Jesus' life at these times are really revisionist political machinations. This stuff is well known."

I'd love to see some primary historical evidence for all the neo-pagan revisionism I see on the internet. As to revisionist political machinations - there's more of that in history than you know I would think.

When you're interested in a serious study - and not neo-pagan triuphalism or victimization - have a look: http://www.revisedhistory.org
