@owen402005 your absolutely right. christmas IS a pagan holiday, as well as easter and even wedding ceremonies. theres ALOT of christians that know this and still continue to celebrate them.
Actually it is derived from the Old English name All Hallows and its Celtic roots are in Scotland not Ireland as wrongly put (again….by the history channel, i really wonder why they call it the histroy channel when the only history relayed is that this American channel percieves or re-writes!) by the History Channel.
@TheAeyia Agreed, its probably the most peaceful religion in the world. At least thats my opinion.
@kitkatfat1 it certainly is unchristian, thankfully. It’s Pagan, probably one of the most unbiased and calm religions out there, what with worshiping the earth and the elements and all. Shame christians are too busy stuffing the head of children with moronic ideals to take 2 seconds and appreciate the green grass under our toes and thank the earth for the warm sun on a beautiful summer day.
@MsMandika So the god green earth that your God created is the devil? They worship nothing more than Mother Earth, this religious is the one that was the basis of your religion. Look up Emperor Constantine, that is where a lot of our holidays stem from. If you think Pagans to be devil worshippers you better not be celebrating Christmas. No more presents for you :P
@MsMandika excuse me? i’m irish and i don’t worship the devil. you probably call them that because of the sign on fire they made. it’s the pentagram it looks like. but you know what? that’s the original peace sign lol. it stands for all 5 elements, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and the top point stands for Spirit. they’re not devil worshippers. you are awfully close minded to say that. just because ur religion is different, doesn’t make them bad. all religions were based off of pagan religions.
@BitsCollins1963
No, just your opinion. Not facts. Here are the facts: He is YOUR lord and savior. Keep your religion to yourself and get over it.
@MovieMagicMaster Unfortunately, probably 95% of Christians today have never researched their religion outside of the Bible. They might be a little bit surprised at what they’ll find

@ChosenTheOnexxx No, Jesus is EVERYONE’S Lord and savior whether you choose to accept Him or not. is up to you. Just the facts. Have a blessed day. :)
@farmerbrown2a
But Christmas is the result of many more celebrations than Yule. There’s no conclusive proof of Jesus’s existence and even if he did, he would be significantly different from the Jesus depicted in the Bible. Regardless, if the Church hadn’t intervened, Christmas would be exactly that same as it is today minus the Crosses and Nativity Scenes.
@MsMandika
Hypocrite. Just because they worship nature, it doesn’t make them worshipers of a devil that your religion made up in the first place.
0:42 :0
devil worshippers
@owen402005 Yes, we all know that! The early church merged Yule with Christ’s birth to use a familiar holiday in a new way. Any one who can read knows Christ was most likely born in the Spring/Summer. This fact does not negate either belief.
Halloween came from the Irish festival of Samhain to be exact. Our people believed that spirits roamed the earth on this day, and we would light bone (or Bonefires) to ward off evil spirits. These bonfires would someimes be used to burn people alive, their ashes used for magic rituals.

@Razersun
Yes. Yes it is. But I wouldn’t generalize. Not ALL Priests are child molesters.
@MovieMagicMaster
No worries. Priests are child molesters! That’s something serious.
@Razersun
No. I actually thought you were being serious. LOL. It did cross my mind that you might be joking but there wasn’t anything to give it away. My bad.
