Son (Sun) of God "born" on Dec 25th EVERY YEAR. [View all] Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 OP

Boggles the very mind... immoderate Aug 2014 #1

What does this mean for us Christans? hrmjustin Aug 2014 #2

That your mythology just co-opted mythology that came before it? Goblinmonger Aug 2014 #3

Lol. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #4

Why is that funny to you? prefunk Aug 2014 #15

Most likely? I think not. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #19

What is then? prefunk Aug 2014 #20

Well I believe the story is true. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #22

What story? prefunk Aug 2014 #23

The Christian story. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #24

What makes "The Christian Story" fundamentally different from any other religious story that came prefunk Aug 2014 #25

Can you prove that this story is not true? hrmjustin Aug 2014 #26

I've already shown that christianity "co-opted mythology that came before it" is the most likely prefunk Aug 2014 #28

You haven't proven anything. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #30

I wasn't trying to prove anything, but I have given you facts, which you choose to ignore. prefunk Aug 2014 #32

I bid you a better day. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #35

I've shown you plenty. You are choosing to ignore it or dismiss it out-of-hand prefunk Aug 2014 #38

I am here because I want to be. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #41

"What makes it more believable? I don't know. For me I choose to believe it. " prefunk Aug 2014 #43

You''ve stated a proposition. okasha Aug 2014 #34

No, I've stated a fact and asked a question. prefunk Aug 2014 #39

The proposition is in post 28. okasha Aug 2014 #40

The same can be said about your intrusion into this conversation. prefunk Aug 2014 #42

You're giving me flashbacks okasha Aug 2014 #45

You're giving me a laugh. prefunk Aug 2014 #47

Still having those flashbacks. okasha Aug 2014 #54

lol. prefunk Aug 2014 #57

Post removed Post removed Aug 2014 #59

Considering the substance of many of your 5800+ posts. prefunk Aug 2014 #60

Well you are persistent. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #46

Which brings me back to the orginal question: What's so funny? prefunk Aug 2014 #49

Well it is a reasonable argument to argue that christians co-opted other beliefs but I do not hrmjustin Aug 2014 #53

lol. prefunk Aug 2014 #56

ok. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #61

yep. prefunk Aug 2014 #63

Have a pleasant evening. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #64

No you haven't. rug Aug 2014 #48

Yet another proclamation without explanation or basis. prefunk Aug 2014 #50

Counting yours, that makes two. rug Aug 2014 #51

I'm sure you believe that. prefunk Aug 2014 #55

Make that three. rug Aug 2014 #62

I realize that you believe that. prefunk Aug 2014 #65

Listen, there's a comfortable spot over there in the corner if all you want to do is repeat yourself rug Aug 2014 #66

You now want to make this personal. prefunk Aug 2014 #67

I don't know you well enough undder that name to make it personal. rug Aug 2014 #68

I'm sure you believe that. prefunk Aug 2014 #69

Because Jesus. elehhhhna Aug 2014 #52

Sadly, thats the most lucid reply in this conversation. prefunk Aug 2014 #58

Mostly paganism, specifically. AtheistCrusader Aug 2014 #16

Nothing to do with Christianity. hrmjustin Aug 2014 #21

There seem to be some patterns in some of the stories, but AtheistCrusader Aug 2014 #36

I think intermingling & cross-cultural influences were always parts of the history of religions. pinto Aug 2014 #6

And they still are. okasha Aug 2014 #7

You can call it mythology but I prefer to say... Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 #11

The Son/Sun homonym only occurs in English okasha Aug 2014 #5

That's what I said...nine months earlier (i.e. conception). Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 #8

Virgo is four months before Solstice, not nine. okasha Aug 2014 #10

Precession of the equinoxes has to be factored in as well. arcane1 Aug 2014 #29

It doesn't. okasha Aug 2014 #31

Right, but it does change in regard to the winter solstice n/t arcane1 Aug 2014 #33

Yes. It shifts the whole zodiac. okasha Aug 2014 #37

PS. It's not about LANGUAGE. It's about SYMBOLISM. Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 #12

Your OP subject line okasha Aug 2014 #14

the "son" ressurects itself every 24hrs at dawn and dies every 24 hrs at sunset. superstition is no msongs Aug 2014 #9

In addition to the daily cycle, there's a yearly cycle and a cosmic cycle. (3 in One) Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 #13

Nine months earlier is Aries/Pisces, not Virgo. Kinda blows your premise apart from the start. prefunk Aug 2014 #17

I seriously need off this planet. Like soon. AtheistCrusader Aug 2014 #18

Oh, come now. "Astrotheology"is a bit eccentric, okasha Aug 2014 #27

I personally find astrotheology rather reductionistic, but very interesting. Viva_Daddy Aug 2014 #44
