Yup. The parallels between what passes for “christianity” and Roman pagan worship are STUNNING. In fact, the result is a hybrid...combining imagery/symbolism and traditional elements from Roman paganism, with certain beliefs taken from God inspired Scripture (both OT and NT). This combination “claims” to base its epistemology on Scripture, but if you actually “peel the onion”, and press them on it, you’ll discover that they don’t actually defer to Scripture. They defer to “church tradition”... which came from its previous pagan origins. But don’t tell them that, otherwise they’ll spit blood and fire and get mad at you. But it doesn’t change the truth. You are aware that in the 1400s they would murder you and I for saying these things! I’m telling you man... ya just can’t make this stuff up!
You, sir/madame have NAILED IT!
