there is slight truth to what you say. But facts on Mithraism are scant at best. Any correlation between Mithras and Christianity go back to one line in Justin Martyr's "First Apology", and it seemed to snowball from there. Furthermore, no one is celebrating Mithrasmas. And as far as the Saturnalia correlation, that has no relevance today. As far as it matters to anyone today, the day could have been picked at random. You and the world still call it Christmas, and are not celebrating because of Saturnalia, Mithras, or because of anyone or anything else.
to all the spaghetti monster worshipers, you still probably celebrated on the 25th, you still probably bought and received presents, you still most likely had the day off. The power of Christ will always compel you. And you cant even deny it.
And a shout out to all our American brothers and sisters fighting for our freedom. You guys are remembered.
glad to see neatorama raising the Christian flag high. Remember that a Saviour's birth is celebrated today. Not santa, not elves, not snowmen, certainly not spaghetti monsters (although pasta sounds good for today). Philippians 2:9-11
