• Atheists Angry After PA Officials Refuse to Host ‘Holiday’ Tree of Knowledge

  Haha…Its their “holiday”…they “borrowed” dates and customs. The Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox are the more obvious ones. Things like the Christmas tree, giving presents, some fantastical person going around giving presents to good kids and coal to bad kids, the Easter bunny, and coloring eggs are Pagan traditions. It was easier for the Christian based governments to make conversion smoother by allowing people to keep their beloved customs and whatnot.
  Dec. 25th is Mithras’ birthday. He was also known as the “Unconquerable Sun,” a title that is incorporated into the Christian mythos. The symbols of Yule and the midwinter festival include evergreen branches (Xmas trees) brought into the house and decorated w/ light, holly w/ it’s red berries (The Holly King dies at the winter solstice.), the colors red and green, Father Christmas, gift giving, caroling, and the running of the deer.

  I WANT MY HOLIDAY BACK!!!!
