Am I the only one who's found that a lot of Protestants who are against the Apostolic churches because they see them as some man-made institution, are really just anti-White racists? They act as though European Paganism is entirely the work of the devil, and that the Christianisation of Pagan holidays (Samhain, Yule, etc.) and customs was an evil thing that needs to be reversed.

I don't know, it just screams to me as hating our White European ancestors, pretty gay really.

Early Christians: Hmm, nine months after the annunciation would be some time at the end of December. That must be the time of the Nativity.

Well, no modern scholars should be saying that....every agricultural society tracks seasons and has harvest festivals..

Saturnalia started in like 500 BC on Dec 17th, and eventually would turn into a full week of celebrations...

Christians celebrated the Nativity of Jesus on December 25th from the 1st century on, so this date was estaished at the time of Jesus or during the Apostolic days...

In fact SO many Roman citizens would be be celebrating Christmas on the 25th, the Emperor came up with a pagan celebration to COUNTER the celebration of Christmas that they called Sol Imvictus, the feast of the Imprtal Sun.

So in fact Pagan Rome creates a holiday on Dec 25th AFTER early Christians start celebrating Christmas on that date. Also note that oncr Christianity is adopted in the Empire, Sol Invictus goes away totally....

Ironically, one of the reasons Roman Paganism basically died when Julian the Apostate tried to revive is that he was essentially *turning it into Christianity*, and turning something into an inferior copy of something that already exists is the fastest way to destroy it. (Which is coincidentally why Modernism has massively shrunk the Church, because its an attempt to turn Catholicism into Protestantism mixed with Judaism, of course it will end up killing itself and Catholicism will rise again stronger). I would imagine a lot of the Roman practices jewish anti-theists deceptively cite as being stolen by Catholicism were actually the products of Julian's machinations, though sadly my knowledge of the subject is incredibly limited.
