>> Your words mark you CB.<<

I most certainly hope they do. I’m so thankful to you for continually bringing that from thread to thread. It gives me the opportunity to continue to expose the pagan influences into the RCC. The beginning of the pagan Easter observance began with Semiramis and her son Tamuz you know. Weeping for Tamuz is even mentioned in scripture. You should look up the pagan “queen of heaven” Semiramis and her son Tamuz sometime. Tamuz was killed by a wild hog you know. That’s why Semiramis dictated that the preserved meat of a hog should be consumed each spring equinox. Interesting isn’t it? Ever have the traditional ham on Easter? Ever wonder why the RCC uses the sunburst so much? Check out Baal and the sun god.

Sorry, CB, as usual, you are wrong:

trying to link Christmas and Christ with Tammuz is incorrect

Tammuz, the Sumerian deity was forgotten before the Neo-Babylonian empire collapsed. And the feast was:
1. celebrated according the old Sumerian calendar which does not gel with ours (you can compare a lunar based with a solar base but the days change each year) and
2. in general a summer feast.
3. Dec 21 would be the death of Tammuz with the winter solstice -- a time for mourning, not celebrating....

Do read up before shooting false facts all the time

CB: Check out Baal and the sun god.

Incredible, do you really want to say that Christianity is a continuation of Baal?

Btw, Baal wasn't the sun god of the ancient Semitic peoples.

And next don't bring up the story of Odin being nailed to a tree...

we have enough of anti-Christians nuts in Obama's admin without infiltration into FR

Huh? It is traditionally lamb for Easter. Jesus is the Lamb of God. Get it?
