Good Friday, Saturn’s day and easter Sunday is an example of a perversion of the gospel that is birthed in Rome and not in the scriptures.
I presume, then, in all your convos you NEVER reference "Saturday" in light of your comment?
Please explain then how do you get along at work, with family, with friends, in communicating times & dates with them if you steadfastly avoid using all names derived from false gods?
* Monday came from Germanic mythology where the "moon god" = Mani.
* Tuesday comes from Norse mythology re: its one-handed god, Tiw.
* Wednesday comes from the Germanic god Wodan.
* Friday comes from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Frige.
* Saturday comes from the Roman god Saturn (Anglo-Saxon rendering was Sæturnesdæg)
* January - Janus, Roman god of the beginning/doorway
* March - Mars, Roman god of war
* April - unknown, potentially Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love
* May - Maia, Greek goddess of fertility
* June - juno, Roman goddess of protection
So...tell us, delchiante...how you've managed to avoid offending or provoking our Jealous God by avoiding days and months and their names that honor and acknowledge these various pagan gods.
We're all interested in knowing what system you came up with steadfastly (and legalistically, if I might add) avoid such a thing.
And if you can't, may I suggest in the future that you may want to explain your inconsistent selective outrage over certain pagan words -- but not others?
Oh...and don't stop with these calendar days & months, either.
If you have EVER acknowledged April Fool's Day in any way (April 1), do you realize that this day may be a relic of the Roman “Cerealia” – held in honor of Ceres (goddess of agriculture).
And do we not get our very word "cereal" from this goddess? I suppose you legalistically refrain from using the word "cereal" -- or even eating of cereal, eh DEL?
And tell us, Del, how you steadfastly refuse to EVER reference a med prescription as "Rx"...given that the "R" in the symbol "Rx" used by Pharmacists for centuries includes the slant across the "R's leg" = the sign of the Roman god, Jupiter, patron of medicine.
My, my, my. Pagan, pagan, pagan. Have you thus inadvertently honored these gods of Cerealia & Jupiter? (Did you eat a bowl of cereal in the past week, month, or year, ?) Did you rename it first? If not, naughty, naughty, naughty "pagan" of you! [I'm wagging my finger as I type]
