Esoteric Meaning Of Christmas And The Winter Solstice

meaning-of-christmas-and-the-winter-solstice


The origins of Christmas predate Christianity through the Pagan holiday called Saturnalia, which was a week-long of lawlessness from December 17th through December 25th that honored Saturn and included human sacrifice, intoxication, naked caroling and rape. During these seven days, there were no punishments for breaking any laws, according to Roman law.

In the year 4 A.D., Christianity adopted Saturnalia with the hopes that they could convert the Pagans into Christianity by promising that they could still celebrate Saturnalia as Christians. (Imagine how that would work out today). Because Saturnalia did not follow Christian principles, the Christian leaders designated the last day of Saturnalia as the birth date of Jesus.

You in fact know nothing of "pagan heads."

"So here it is, the values held as virtuous by each audience are too widely divergent to facilitate objective evaluation. Christians have it in their world view that virtues like forgiveness, compassion, meekness and repentance are central to living a good life. Asatruars, on the other hand, have it in their world view that virtues like self sufficiency, struggle, valor, and the like are what makes for a good life.

I suppose in a broader sense, one could make the argument that the Asatruar myth engenders a certain amount of agency on humanity's part, as well as a more active role within the grand scheme of things. Humans play a significant part in the events of Ragnarok, and even if these warriors are doomed to die a second time, they are still active. Comparatively, humanity has very little to do with the events depicted in Christian eschatology; they show up, get judged and are cast into a lake of fire or ascend into heaven. Christ's gift of himself to his father, provides him the means to redeem humanity in the eyes of his father/himself. Salvation is won, and it is up to humans to accept or reject this gift; dire consequence for those who reject it. Odin's gift is knowledge, which again humans are free to use or not use, but there is no forced hand here, no bifurcation leading to a moral judgement or dilemma. The knowledge was won, but it is up to humans to make the best use of it they can. Of course this moves the discussion from the context of the narratives themselves, and what they mean to adherents, to a broader examination of theological principles over all.

Coming up next time: Thor v. Jesus: "My god has a hammer, yours was nailed to a cross; any questions?"

Funny, but not wholly accurate.

:uhoh3:
 
allie is one of the most toxic posters on the board and shes pushing xstianity :rofl:

Par for course for all these fake ass Christians. They go to church 2x a year and act as if they are As holy as the pope.

In reality they are terrible people. Jesus himself would spit on them .


Well first you dont know what a Christian is. Learn that first before disparaging people about it.
And jesus wouldnt spit on anyone, not even people id like him too......so back To point one, you dont know anything about christianity.

I would say christians believe in self suficiency, valor, and struggle. Christians do practice kindness , forgiveness and the like, but they are not just meek people who think charity is the only way.
Many things jesus has said are taken out of context because they dont talk about everything he has said. Jesus can be a badass......and hes not just plrasant nicities, hes described some serious consequences of actions.

You paid close attention to all four seasons of Vikings, I see.
 
You can tell a Jew, Hindu or Buddhist Merry Christmas and they will smile and say thank you.
Only leftists and Muslims freak out and may assault you.

I'm Buddhist and I say Merry Christmas to all my Christian friends and everyone else. No matter who you are, the Christmas message is a good one. How can salvation be a bad thing.
