FOR YOU THIEVING CHRISTIAN BASTARDS FROM PAGAN BOB

By Bob Walsh



The Winter Solstice occurs this year on December 21 at 1:20 a.m. Pacific Time.  This is a time to reflect.

The Winter Solstice, not the birth of Yeshua ben Yoseph, is the REAL reason for the season.  Early Christians knew they would have a much easier time converting the peasants if they didn't deprive them of their holidays.  Hercules, Osiris, Mithras, and Attis all filled the bill as a savior as well as did Jesus.  They all had strong followings at one time but eventually tapered off and died out.  They were however similar in many ways.

Their births occurred on or around the Winter Solstice.  This is symbolic of the light overtaking the darkness.  They were born in humble surroundings.  Typically caves, though stables would do the job.  They were usually either first sons or only sons.  Their parentage on their father's side was a little fuzzy.  They lived a life of toil and sacrifice for the good of mankind.  They tended to have some association with a trip to the underworld, either long-term or temporary, followed by a return to the human world. 

We pagans are in fact very ecumenical.  We don't mind so much that the Christians appropriated our holidays.  We do think it would be nice, however, if we got credit for the basic idea once in a while.

Happy Yule.  Blessed Be to you Thieving Christian Bastards.  HO HO HO.
