All the good """Christian""" holidays are just stolen Pagan ones.

>Halloween=Christian
Huh?

>>216367768
All Saints' Day. Holy shit I know you're brown but at least try to learn the basics of Western culture before moving here.

The greeks used to have a big holiday in March to celebrate the end of winter and that spring was coming, which is why December is called Deca, because January/February were ”dead months” to them

We should bring it back. One week off in March for everyone to have feasts and party

All agree?

What did he mean by this?

>>216367821
>which is why December is called Deca
No nigga it's because it used to be the 10th month and 10 in Latin is "decem"

>>216367882
Protestantism, Catholicism and East Orthodoxy are all from Europe.
Also my point is that Christianity in the West is basically just Paganism with a Jewish veneer.

>>216367909
YES AND ITS CALLED TEN BECAUSE THE YEAR STARTED IN MARCH BECAUSE THE WINTER WAS DEAD DID YOU NOT READ WHAT I WROTE???

Besides roman culture is literally just a alibaba version of ancient greece so point stands

yes the christian church as we know it its the syncretism with european culture

We are too based for your satanic ritual ALBEIT

...

>>216368029
This is evangelical tier. They're the only people in the West that don't celebrate.

>>216367970
OOooooooh
Wow you're so smart!~

>>216368051
Islam isn't a part of Turkish culture then?
Buddhism isn't a part of Chinese culture?
Hinduism isn't a part of Balinese culture?
The Hellenic and Zoroastrian influences in Judaism aren't part of Jewish culture?

>>216367750 (OP)
That's why Christianity was so successful at taking over. They made the transition as convenient as possible by incorporating existing beliefs into Christian tradition.
I've heard a lot of the Irish Catholic saints are heavily based on pre-christian gods too

>>216368051
yes thats how it works

>>216368101
>>216368152
No.

>>216368174
If you want to strip it bare then basically no one has a culture except for these guys and most of these cultures have already borrowed from others anyway.

>>216368246
>you can't have a culture without civilisation

>>216368174
thats EXACTLY how it works

>>216368058
>Americans don't celebrate easter but celebrate Halloween
To each their own but you guys are pretty weird to us too

>>216368299
Their culture isn't pure because they use metal from shipwrecks.

>>216368334
We celebrate Easter though.
No one outside 4chan thinks that.

>>216368335
>these cultures didn't exist until modern times

>>216368408
If you're using the "they can only have things that they STRICTLY came up with themselves" argument then basically no one has a culture unique to themselves.

>>216368445
They do.
I was talking about taking a whole ass religion and claiming that it's yours despite it being another's, abandoning your own religion in the process as well.
