There are some of us who have been telling people this for a long time.
People want to believe only what they want to believe.

Buddy christ

Interesting yes..........and true.

Christianity is a busload of pagan practices intertwined. That's no real surprise.

No big surprise here. I've never held belief in the cross anyways. Plus I thought it was common knowledge that Christ was probably crucified on a scaffold-type construction rather than a 'cross'.

Meh...doesn't mean a whole lot to me.

The church is made up with much paganism...................whooooooooooo...........Shocked me when I found out.

Nooooo.. the cross means salvation for all of us, that reminds us that God died for our sins do that we might go to heaven if we're willing to recieve Chrsit Jesus as our Lord & Savior.


God bless..

There's a hundred different interpretations for an inkblot. How can you be so sure yours is the right one?

I know about the christmas easter thing.

christmas I don't know what it celebrates, but Easter=birth of summer, Halloween=Death of summer. However, they are ****ed because of George II of England Where everything must be done his way. Arse. Not you, your cool.

Not you, your cool. Christmas is really an older celebration of the Winter Solstice and Easter is the celebration of the Spring Equinox...

Who cares?

Truth hurts doesn't it???

Actually, it is the person who wrote that article that is ignorant about Christian history as are Christians about origins of their holidays and symbols.

The ORIGINAL christian symbol is fish, NOT cross. http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/9802/christ13iw.gif
The fish symbol, of course pre-dates Christianity as well, but for the sake of the argument, fish was an adopted symbol of Christianity, and is the original symbol.
It is only in the later date that cross became sagnificant and influential symbol as ''look at how jesus suffered for you''

Second - Ancient Egypt does not have anything to do with Christian 'cross' symbolism.
Crussifiction was EXCLUSIVLY roman punishment, and Jesus was crusified just like many others - thus his crusifiction became a symbolism - it has absolutely no relevance to Ancient Egyptians.

The cross has many ancient varations the cross of odin,cross of tammuz, celtic cross etc...and they all predate christ.

Yes the fish was the originally christian symbol where does the author say it isn't?
