Can Dan see the connection between his fascination with bible stories and those in the Marvel universe full of magical characters written over long periods by different authors?

Like I was willing to grant the whole “pre Christian faiths were demonized because women”, but I was not prepared for “Mary was a priestess actually”

Correct! I'm really an asatru, but that confuses people, so I sloppy go by norse pagan. Dan is 100 % correct. We did though have Yule trees outdoors and evergreen branches and small trees indoors

My understanding of “pagan” as a paraphrase is any European polytheism stemming from the (proposed) Proto-indo-European religion. I’ve also read that there was an idea that the concept of a Trinity-

I wish to one day have the confidence of people who can read something on a dodgy mailing list and run with it as the absolute universal truth

Can you address Plaskow’s interpretation that women were removed from spirituality when we discovered agriculture—essentially learning how to “grape” the soil?

@Dan McClellan was it true that the Easter bunny may have been a riff off from the goddess of Spring Eostre? Also is the naming a riff or is it just similar words?

I do find the similarities of maiden, mother, crone and the Trinity interesting. But I'd love to know more about how the concept of the Trinity developed.

Dan, why do some denominations accept this type of biblical scrutiny from historians and others do not? Can you comment on the LDS stance?

Is it weird that I put on one of your videos to fall asleep to. But only in the morning. I wake up too early and can’t go back to sleep.

When did Judaism begin to reject paganism? I assume it tracks with their rejection of their root polytheism. Do you have a video on this topic?

I seem to recall a research effort that used the story of the 3 Magi to try to pinpoint Jesus' bday, and they used astrological calculations and astrology, and claimed April 17th was the likely DOB

To relate to the Trinity, from a non witch, culture, 心氣體 (xīn qì tǐ) comprises 心 (xīn): heart/mind/spirit; 氣 (qì): energy/breath; 體 (tǐ): body/form.

Some church ensemble prayers do match the format for group magic ceremonies. Although the raising of “gnosis” prerequisite seems too weak.

Both Greek and Roman believe in the gods like Zeus was called pagan just like Norse traditions were called pagan. So like you said Dan it's not just one thing but it covers many disparate things

Love the videos, thanks for facts & data. 2 things: 1 Can’t we assume Jesus not born in winter since shepherd was tending his flock at night? 2 That collar has seen much better days.

@Dan McClellan I was told something similar about the birthday candles except my grandma told me that you weren't supposed to "make a wish" because some Catholics viewed that as praying to a false 1/.

This mode of thinking feels distinctly American. Hers more, wanting to colonialize all of christianity, and making b-day candles an xtian thing.

It’s wild that she’s just conflating all pagan practices and beliefs across all history to claim Christianity did the same thing

from what I understand, basically all modern western paganism is reconstructionist in nature and appropriates concepts from many pagan polytheistic groups - Norse Germanic Brythonic and natic American

It's amazing the accidental anti-semitism that exists in pushing the "everything christian is pagan in origin" conspiracy.
