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]

I’ve posted from a variety of different sources. Not just a blog.  :roll:

But they were all non-Christian inspirations so they got deleted. 
[/quote]

The moderator is agnostic/atheist. I don’t know why they were deleted, but maybe he thought they were junk. [/quote]

Probably somebody reported something - the Slavic princess post? - and then he did an over aggressive “clean up”.

There was nothing “junky” about what I posted.  :roll: 
[/quote]

You think the moderator has time to clean up pages of your cut-and-pastes without there being a good reason?[/quote]

I didn’t copy and paste from “dubious blogs”.

I think it’s easier for him just to delete a bunch of posts instead of going through each one individually. 
[/quote]

Sorry, but you did post from a dubious blog. For pages and pages. You can’t write the deletions off as the moderator being lazy. [/quote]

Which “dubious blog”? I posted from several different sources about several different topics. 
[/quote]

Give it up, nobody cares. The moderator judged your blog posts and deleted them. Live with it. Bye. [/quote]

That’s what I thought. You made up this “dubious blog” claim because you didn’t like the content.

I posted from several different sources about several different, related topics. None were from “dubious blogs”.

None of my sources were any more dubious than Wikipedia, which gets aggressively copy & pasted on this forum. Funny how you never complain about those posts. 
[/quote]

You can fill three more pages whining about the moderator deleting your precious blog posts. Or you can move on and accept the verdict of multiple posters and the moderator. [/quote]

So why is it that you never report the Wikipedia posts?
