Holiday Labeling
Yesterday I read a friends blog about the holidays. Well, part of it was about christmas. Quote: “[have a] wonderful CHRISTMAS. Not holidays. I respect the other religions of this world, but dammit, look at the word. The first six letters of that word are what it’s all about. Wake up!!!”
You say you respect other religions of the world. But, you don’t really mean it. Here’s a wake up call for YOU, my friend! Christmas is a PAGAN holiday. It comes from Saturnalia, an Ancient Roman festival that was held in honor of the god Saturn. Chrisitanity decided to get more converts, therefore more moola in their coffers, if they (xtians) took the already available holidays and adopt them as their own, with a more christian twist.
Christians STOLE! (Umm, isn’t that against your religion or something?)
Let me propose a situation: If I put a large stick-on label with the words “GRAND PIANO” on a paper bag full of sugar; would it suddenly make the contents of that bag a grand piano? No, it wouldn’t! It would still be sugar! Just because you put a label on a thing doesn’t make that particular thing change. Christmas is a LABEL that is put on the bag of SATURNALIA!
It may sound like: christmas, but it is still Saturnalia! This is exactly what the christians did to the other religions at the time. Shame on them! They were too lazy to make their own festivals. A pig is still a pig, even if it has lipstick on it.
Christmas is a Pagan holiday. Please give credit where credit is due. Merry YULE!
