[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outraged pagan and "historian" pps seem to think anybody cares that Santa is a fusion of sources, some Christian (the magi bearing gifts, St. Nicholas) and some maybe not (Odin).

Newsflash: WE DON'T CARE. Santa has nothing to do with worship. We know Santa is a myth and, as such, we already accepted his mythicism long ago.

However, all of modern paganism is derived from stealing and drastically modifying earlier pagan religions. That's where you should be directing your ire. [/quote]

Some PPs do care very much. They reject possible non-Christian influences.

No one is "rejecting possible non-Christian influences" they're asking for actual sources (like primary sources, not something you saw on the History Channel), and they're pointing out where the comparisons are flimsy. You seem to want to characterize this as something it isn't and engage in name calling rather than actually having a discussion about the questions.[/quote]

I haven’t called anyone names.

Funny how random opinions/blogs are just fine for many, many posts in this forum. Some that get copied and pasted endlessly.

I post some legit sources (from researched books, etc) and now all of a sudden we need direct quotes from primary sources. LOL.

That blog wasn’t legit, sorry. It was a random compilation of scattered facts, guesses and opinions.

You people who keep asking for primary (or at least reputable secondary) sources about Jesus are shocked, shocked when somebody asks for a primary source about Odin. Go figure.[/quote]

You people??[/quote]
