    We smile and bite our lips. We do not tell them that it is because we read the bible for ourselves. That we do not do Christmas because it is a Pagan holiday. That Christ was born in late Summer or early Fall and not during the Mid-Winter Festival of Saturnalia. The misunderstanding of Christmas is as strong here as in the United States and Europe.

    There is no Satan Clause, Eostre Bunny, Hallow-e'en, or Nimrod's Valentine's day practiced in our household.
    so what do you people do for FUN then?

    i for one observe and celebrate a Mardukian holiday.

    Haha. Neighbors are pwned.

    Nindot kini'ng imo'ng entry diri da. Giganahan ko sa imo'ng 'explanation'. Only a handful know that "Christianity" and most "religions" are actually offshoots of Paganism. Hasta ang entry sa thread-starter, nindot usab.

    Merry Mithras!

    Home Page Sun’s Birthday Historical Records



    The holiday season is upon us once again. I know this because of the music in the grocery store and the seasonal trimmings, plus it’s too dang cold outside. This is the biggest religious holiday of the year for Christians, and so of course, whether you are Christian or not, we all get subjected to it. But I did some research a few months ago and what I discovered was astounding. . .

    It seems that just before Jesus there was another god known as Mithras (or Mithra). Mithras, oddly enough, has the same birthdate as Jesus, but some 600 years earlier! Not only that, but he was also born of a virgin, with a few shepherds present. Mithras, a traveling teacher and master, had 12 disciples as he performed miracles. Just like Jesus, Mithras was buried in a tomb, died, and after three days was resurrected and rose again! (It must be the way gods did things back then.)

    Known as “the way,” “the Truth,” “the Light,” “the Redeemer,” “the Messiah,” “the Savior,” “the word,” “the Son of God,” and ”the Good Shepherd,” Mithras was sometimes pictured carrying a lamb on his shoulders. Sunday was sacred to the followers of Mithras and called it “the Lord’s Day”.

    Mithraism hit Rome in the first century BC as the Mithraic cult fled Persia. Here it flourished as the Sun God Natalis Solis Invicti. The leader of this religion ruled from what is now Vatican hill, which is a place previously sacred to Mithras. This male leader was called Papa (which is how we get the word “Pope”). Books in honor of Mithras were called “Helio Biblia,” which translates to us as either “Sun Book” or “Holy Bible.”

    But wait! . . . Merry Krishna too!

    Before Mithras there was Krishna in India, circa 1200 BC. Krishna was born of the Virgin Mother Devaki after being visited by spirits to announce the impending birth of an immaculately conceived child who is God’s Sun and the “son of God.” His birth was attended by wise men, as well as shepherds. Krishna was presented at birth with frankincense, myrrh, and gold. Krishna worked miracles, restored sight, cast out devils, and raised the dead.

    Many hundreds of years before both Mithras AND Jesus, Krishna was baptized in the River Ganges, crucified between two thieves, died, buried, and resurrected in three days and worshipped as the “savior of men.” He proclaimed himself the “Resurrection” and the “way to the Father.”

    He was said to be without sin, of royal descent, and raised by a human father that was . . . a carpenter. He preached of a great and final day of judgment and used parables to teach the people about charity and love. In death he stood transfigured in front of his disciples. Krishna was called the ”Shepherd God”, “Lord of lords”, “the Redeemer,” and the “Universal Word.” He was considered, “Alpha and Omega” as well as being omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent.

    He was prophesized to return to battle evil forces in a second coming. His disciples bestowed on him a word that means “pure essence.” That word is “Jezeus.”

    But, oh no! That’s not all! Check it out:
    HAPPY HORUS
    everybody!

    Thousands of years before Krishna, Mithras, and Jesus is the sun god Horus.

    Horus goes back to Egypt circa 3000 BC. Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25 in a cave/manger with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men. In the catacombs at Rome are pictures of the baby Horus being held by the virgin mother Isis. Horus taught in the temple when he was a child. He was baptized when he was 30 years old by “Anup the Baptizer.” Horus performed miracles and raised a man named El-Azar-us, from the dead. Not only did Horus walk on water, he was also crucified, buried in a tomb, and then resurrected.

    Horus was known as “the Way,” “the Fisher,” “the Truth,” “the Light,” “God's Anointed Son,” “the Son of Man,” “the Good Shepherd,” “the Lamb of God,” and “the Word.” He was also was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One.” There was a trinity with Horus: Atum the Father and Ra the Holy Spirit. Add Horus and we have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the later years of Horus he had 12 disciples known as Har-Khuttie. Horus had an enemy (originally this was also the dark side of Horus, or his other face). This evil enemy was “Set” or “Sata.” Horus struggles with Sata for 40 days in the wilderness. Some claim that this myth represents the triumph of light over dark. This triumph is most noted on December 25.

    In fact, lots of Gods share this birthday!

    The Greek god Attis, born of the Virgin Nana, (or sometimes Cybelem) on December 25 and was reborn and rose from the dead on the third day. Attis was both the Father and the Divine Son. His crucifixion and subsequent resurrection were celebrated annually, with ritual communions of bread and wine. The wine represented the God's blood; the bread became the body of the savior.

    Adonis born on December 25 was son of the virgin Myrha. Hermes born on December 25 was the son of the virgin Maia, as well as a member of a holy trinity Hermes Tris-Megistus. The god Dionysus, born on December 25, turned water into wine. Bacchus, born on December 25, was crucified in 200 BCE. Prometheus, born on December 25, descended from heaven as God incarnate as man, to save mankind, and was crucified, suffered, and rose from the dead.,

    Nimrod was represented in a dual role of God the Father and Ninus, the son of Semiramis, and her olive branch was symbolic of this offspring produced through a ‘virgin birth’. Ninus was also known as Tammuz who was said to have been crucified with a lamb at his feet and placed in a cave. When a rock was rolled away from tile cave's entrance three days later, his body had disappeared. Nimrod was symbolized by a fish and the origins of the Popes nutre shaped like a fish head. Nimrod was the son of Cush. Nimrod was a Mason. The Tower of Babel was one of the most ancient traditions of Masonry.

    The original Christmas festival originated in the Babylon founded by Nimrod, the grandsom of Ham, the son of Noah. Nimrod originated the Babylonish system of organised competition, man-ruled governments and empires based upon the competitive and profit-making economic system. Nimrod who built the original tower of Babel, the first city of Babylon, Nineveh (the capital of Assyria) and many other commercial and pagan-religious centres.

    Nimrod married his own mother, Semiramis. Legend has it, after his untimely death, she claimed that a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolised the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. 25 December was the birthday of Nimrod. It is from this myth, created by a woman living in an incestual relationship, that we get the original Christmas tree.

    How could this be?!? Why are all these mythological ancient predecessors to Jesus Christ born on December 25th? The answer, my friends, is found in the Son . . . er, I mean, the SUN. Find out more by clicking on: The Sun’s Birthday.

    @james, if that were the case then that would also mean you don't take day offs? wouldn't it be fair to tell your boss you prefer to work on those holidays because you are not a practitioner?

    Atheist? what about them... there is no real athiest... its just a myth

    @james your previous posts are nice.

    Well as far as we are concern, the Romans adapted alot of things, Greek mythology = roman mythology. they created thier own christian religion, but political in nature... they revised the calendar... Its a good question you guys raised with the Catholics...

    When it comes to faith, it does not limit to anything... if you want to celebrate christmas on the 25, there is nothing wrong with it... but remember the essence of that faith... its not about you... its about a welcome that christ is born in your heart...

    if you do it for other reason, then its no religious after all, its just another thanksgiving day.

    Either you do it for celebration or religiously, MERRY CHRISTMAS... Enjoy the Holiday.

    he's his own boss. naa man kuno siya dako nga business sa ilaha. even if he was employed and chose to work on a holiday, he'd probably be the quickest to receive a gift from a fellow co-worker.
