To party began

The article at that link discusses the earlier origins of the resurrection myth.

Are based on fear of pagans.

Want to attract pagans to your club? Incorporate their rituals to yours.
Wan't Christmas moved to a pagan time period? Star charts indicate Jesus was born in the summer.. Not knocking it but call it as it is.. Good marketing..

Thanks again. ❤

Thanks for letting me know!

We spoke of this topic in the 1970s in theology class at a Catholic University.

and some DUers seemed to appreciate the link. Why do you ask?

you already knew it. Do you suppose my posts here have you as the intended audience? Not everyone attended a Jesuit college. Not everyone is aware of everything. As I see from the thread, more than one person appreciated the information at that link. Not everyone has the extensive knowledge of everything that you believe you have, you see.

I will remind you that the Religion Group is not your group. It belongs to all of us, through the courtesy of DU's administrators. Criticizing someone's post because you already knew something is overstepping. If you don't need the information I post, you can easily avoid clicking through to read it. Someone else might gain new knowledge from it, though.

and added personal experience. As do you in your posts.

I will kindly assume that to be the case. Others may not be so kind.

Obviously, some misunderstood.

Understanding is good.
