I don't mean to be rude in your LJ, but that is so completely untrue.

Forgive me, then, if I sound even ruder in saying, yes it is. And if you'll give me a few days to dig up all the old materials from the years of history I took in college, I'll quote you from the Roman writers who were contemporary sources and accused the fledgling Christian faith of such things.

Non-Christian faiths at the time of the genesis of Christianity actually complained vociferously their disgust that the Christians had stolen Pagan religious forms lock, stock, and barrel, with no credit given.

First, which non-Christian faiths, and which pagans? "Pagan" is such a general term as to be utterly useless when discussing history, especially if you intend on correcting a person on theirs. Are you referring to the Romans? Greeks? To any of the many mystery cults (from various parts, including Egypt) from which Christianity did borrow many things?

Or, are you referring to the later acquisition of rituals from European/Teutonic peoples during the conversion of those areas?

Please, be specific.
