One True Religion

the goddess Eastre
their is alot of talk about this or that church being the one true church, but what so many fail to realize is the common beliefs held inbetwine different sects of beliefs, for example the christian church hold beliefs descending from paganism, Judaism and many other religions by which they have been effected,for example, the Celtic cross, held dear by many Christians is an even older symbol used by Celtic pagans called the Celtic knot, Christmas was a holiday celebrated by pagans long ago in northern Europe on December 25, called yule day, the day of the birth of the promised child, or the incarnation of the sun, said to come to free the world from darkness, and Babylonians celebrated the feast of the son of the goddess Isis, a day of merriment, feasting and drinking, when loved ones would exchange gifts and, all this long before they even decided to celebrate the birth of the christian savior, a day set by Pope Julius I in 350 A. D. and not even celebrated until four years later, their is in fact much speculation as to the actual day of his birth by christian scholars and historians, the main reason it is suspected that this day was chosen was that it was the day of these pagan celebrations.
now know that i am not trying in any way to bring down any religion, only that i want to bring to light that these religions are so closely related, even though it may be that much conflict as issued due to, in all honesty, min nor differences.
and not only is the day of the christian saviors birth closely related to pagan celebrations, and i only gave a few examples, but also the day of his death, Easter is very closely related to the celebration of the goddess Eastre, the great mother goddess of the Saxon people in northern Europe, a day when fertility, new birth and the spring equinox were celebrated, useing the symbols of rabbits and eggs, this day was chosen for obvious simulartys being the rebirth of the christian savior a day of the celebration of new life is an obvious choice.
now i am going to end this short, and i ask that you do givve your opinon, and that you do not take offence to what i have said, it is not ment as a put down, and if anyone dose see in inacurcys do let me know, i write this to the best of my knowlage, and in final what i do hop[e is taken from this is that we are all alot more alike then you may assume.
Thank You.
