Paganism and Paganists. The root of Christianity?

[florigaga]

---

Due to popular demand, and myself being popularly demanded and as what The Kid has requested to talk about Constantine, let's talk about Paganism and it's correlation to Christianity!

Now, for the benefit of those who don't know what Paganism is, let's define it with the power of wikipedia

Paganism (from Latin paganus, meaning "country dweller", "rustic"[1]) is a blanket term, typically used to refer to polytheistic religious traditions.
It is primarily used in a historical context, referring to Greco-Roman polytheism as well as the polytheistic traditions of Europe and North Africa before Christianization. In a wider sense, extended to contemporary religions, it includes most of the Eastern religions and the indigenous traditions of the Americas, Central Asia, Australia and Africa; as well as non-Abrahamic folk religion in general. More narrow definitions will not include any of the world religions and restrict the term to local or rural currents not organized as civil religions. Characteristic of Pagan traditions is the absence of proselytism and the presence of a living mythology, which explains religious practice.

What is it's relevance to Christianity, and does Christianity have pagan roots?

I will be editing this thread later, and will be adding some information, kay duty pa ko! Sorry I gotta go. I have thousands of calls to attend to!

Meanwhile, for those who want to add some content regarding paganism, you are welcome to post it here.

Be reminded to exchange healthy ideas. And the purpose of this thread is to share intellectual information!

See ya!

I have a story to tell ya'll.
There was a young couple wherein the guy was an atheist and the girl was a Christian (Christ believer). One day, they argued on whose belief is true. Then, the Christian girl decided to stop their argument. She said, "This argument will never end. I do not want us to separate ways because I love you. If your principle is true that the world existed because of evolution, big bang theory, etc., then I am still lucky because though I believe in God (which is false based on your principles), I will still evolve anyway. But, if my faith/belief is true that the God in heaven do exist and He will come to save me, then you are so unfortunate because your soul will burn in hell because you never believed in Him."
