Elukka posted:I'm reminded of the Norwegian rune poem (basically an ABC song, the point of these was just to remember the runes) talking about Tyr, Loki and Jesus all at once. You'll hear stuff like that in Anglo Saxon poetry and surviving writings as well. Christianization was a gradual process in Northern Europe.

Cyrano4747 posted:poo poo, just look at some of the christian as gently caress high holy days. Easter has some very deep pre-christian roots. A 5th century Roman christian would look at the poo poo Catholics today do and comment on how a lot of the traditions were synchretic as all gently caress. The timing of Christmas has more to do with it supplanting Saturnalia than its reflection of when Jesus was born. Lamb season is in the spring, not in December so in all likelihood Christ was born sometime around Easter.

One of dude's friends has "WHITE PRIDE WORLD WIDE" as his profile picture. If he's not a nazi, he's definitely comfortable with them.
