Yes, I know that you are right… That egyptians kept the evergreen tree, to symbolise the end of the long and cold winter, for example. Of course.
I spent a lot of time, writing this stuff, because I was hoping to have a nice conversation, but instead I got the opposite.
Your arguments are beyond childish, like: “The old testament was written before Jesus.” - Thank you, did not known that one. Or “there where books before the printing press” - wow, I’m learning a lot. I mean, I think you don’t even get what I say, to be honest. “The sphinx are egypt”… I mean… If this kinda of things is worth saying (and by saying it, you miss the point) then this is a conversation not worth having for me.
You say I’m playing with semantics but I had to clarify the word “pagan” 5 times. A bit nuts.
Calvin, yeah I of course miss understood who I was talking about. Because there a bunch of Calvins, who where leaders of the protestant in Swissiland. Again, it’s all this level of ridiculous arguments.
(And by he way, now the school does not teach it, the movies don’t talk about it. But at the time, they where proud of the book burning, of the destruction of art, of the killing of Catholics, of destroying statues and churches, of occupying Catholic churches and so on… It’s a fact. They where proud of it, there’s evidence all over the place. )
I’m not ignoring anything. I made it clear after a certain point, that I’m not interested in hearing, propaganda narrative. If you wanted to back up your view with any sort of consistency, documentation and rationality. I would be glad to look at it and talk about it. Maybe I would learn something. But it’s only repeating the narrative. I know what people believe.
On the other hand, You do ignore everything that I’ve said. The actual facts. Using consistency, documents, the intellect. But it’s either a full ignore, or you just reply based on the idea you have in your mind, failing to adress any of the details or information. Like those people, who can reply to an hour long showing of facts with and insult and yet they think they are right. Cult mentality. Instead of answering the facts I presented, you just jump, to the implications you have on your mind.
I mentioned two battles of Catholics against muslims. And since you know, you probably know what miracles happened there? And that if the muslims had won, there probably would be no christianity left. (Protestants where around at the time of the second and didn’t even showed up. Classy)
I seem to be against Christianity? You mean because, I gave you facts and the sources for you to check for yourself, the less known aspects of the Protestant revolt? To which you just ignore and say “Why are you against Christianity?” - Just like a woke person.
And as if this was not enough, you wrote some horrible sentences about the mother of Jesus. For this last pint alone, I do not wish to keep this conversation going. I don’t even want to remember what you said. You say horrible things about the mother of Christ. And insinuate I seem to be against Christianity.
And with all due, respect I wish I had my time back from this.
So, you can think think you are right. Can show my comments to anyone and make fun of it, if you want. You can keep on saying that Christianity is so weak, that we don’’t know anything and it’s all paganism (a word, I think you probably still don’t get), be my guest. But I have no time for this.
Hope this clarifies everything. So wish you well.
By the way:
If you actually saw that the 66 canon was “made” in 300 AD at some consul… it’s a very worrying. This is legit bizarre, if you actually “saw” this.
Do you have a denomination? Do you live around people who kinda all have the same ideas? Maybe have a leader who knows everything? And do you have books/ information that only you have? That would explain a lot.
