I just wanted to take a minute to reply to the individual who wrote the article about the Holy Rosary. I found it very inciteful and interesting. I have currently been studying religion and agree with most of your info. I am neither Catholic or Protestant, but searching for something real. and not a denomination that is based on many pagenistic practises. I guess we all have a right to our own opinions-I'm posting this not to debate with anyone but to simply say I was enlightened by your info.
Literally and technically speaking, Christians, Jews, and Muslims are not pagans... Even their origins didn't tell us that they are pagans.
Pagans believe in the multiplicity of gods, while these three large religions are strictly monotheistic.
The similarity of Christ's being the Son of God (as He really is) with the paganistic concept of Mithra, the Sun God... is just a perception of unbelievers. But there is a big difference. Jesus exists, Mithra doesn't.
