[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! A tad nasty there. What evidence is there that Christians deny that myths have been instrumental in explaining the world around us? Christianity sees that very well--witness the adoption of midwinter as the time to celebrate Christ's birth. No one knows when Christ was born but why not choose mid-winter to symbolize the age of light Christians believe Christ brought? There's a mythic connection. That it was a pagan connection isn't a strike against Christianity, it speaks in Christianity's favor because it embraces the natural and universal human tendency to look forward to the new life spring brings in the depths of darkness. [/quote] interesting bit of rationalization there - fascinating how one can hang on to the premise that one story is real while surrounded by similar myths. I bet it's possible to do that with any myth. It also sounds like something learned in law school. [/quote]
