[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like there are several "Groundhogs" on this thread. "Groundhog" is the name a Christian poster has given to people who bring up the pagan roots of various aspects of Christianity.[/quote] I'm a devout Catholic and I acknowledge that Christianity as we know it today was grafted onto pagan beliefs and holidays in many, many cultures. My Irish forebears were Druidic pagans. My African ones were animist polytheists. I'm sure Christianity was more palatable to them if it resembled the religions of their cultures. Doesn't lessen my faith.[/quote] I think we need to differentiate between "pagan roots" as in December 25th being chosen in lieu of knowing his actual birthdate, and the Groundhog who is always going on about some rather hilarious supposed ancient Egyptian roots.[/quote]
