@Pickles group

Hot take, you can't get mad when people celebrate christmas but not jesus because all your holidays are co-opted from pagan holidays and everything revolves around your religion and holidays. Shut up, no one cares about your persecution complex

What’s the difference between patriarchy and rape culture and how do you define the first?

Wait which holiday are we supposed to be stealing on Christmas?
Though if you wanna be whatever and celebrate Christmas go for it bro. Saw this great story of a Muslim man doing Christmas. 10/10 wholesome vibes.
Whoa bro. Persecution complex? You do realize that Christians never really stopped getting murdered for their faith? Granted, things got a lot less stabby for a couple centuries in Rome after the Edict of Milan but the point still stands. You heard of Isis and the Nûn? Sure, in America it’s a lot better. But there’s still hate groups and arson and shootings and vandalism. What I’m saying is you’re sounding pretty ignorant and heartless with that.

Question, is it normal for someone to be able to, like, bend their wrist and have it make a crunchy pop noise without feeling any pain? Like is that a normal joint thing? Bc I did that in therapy and I think my therapist is now concerned.

Winter solstice mostly, but there're several pagan celebrations that are/were around that time
Some articles on pagan roots of christian holidays, although full disclosure, I only skimmed them because my brain is broke

Uhhh forwards I think? But more of bending it forward then snapping it back

ah. i just bend it forward, sometimes shake it up if it's not popping

@Katastrophic group

i mean, i can click both my wrists side-to-side, like jazz hands, and it's not painful. Then again I do have a ton of issues with my wrists otherwise so maybe its not the best thing?

Valid reason to skim lmao. But ofc people are gonna have their holidays for the solstice. That doesn’t mean it’s a stolen holiday. Christmas was calculated based on the serving time of the tribe section of the priest who was the father of John her Baptist who was born six months before Jesus.

Okay yeah thanks. Imo Christians should not be freaking out about the marriages of De Geys. Though I still think it’s pretty valid to get upset if a dude or dudess is forced to go against their religious code bc religious freedom is and should be a thing, like those nuns that had to give out contraception who were literally just really poor ladies that would help poor communities iirc.

No, it sounds more sharp than soft. It doesn't hurt at all though, so that seems…good?

Good on you

I don’t consider Christmas a stolen holiday per se, but the ties back to pagan celebrations are there. For example, Christmas in my old Christian tradition was a time to celebrate God giving the world new light in Jesus. Now in my new tradition, it's about powering through the darkness and celebrating the fact we made it halfway through winter. Like celebrating what little light we do have and the fact it'll be growing brighter everyday. Funny thing though, for me it's also associated with the love god Aengus Mac Óg, who was also born of (while not a virgin) a perpetually pure goddess. When the church was gaining power and the people didn’t want to give up their culture, it was easy to link the new holidays with the old. For example, summer solstice used to be it's own thing, but now it's very close to St. John's day, and the celebrations for it are very similar. In a lot of regions, it went the same way with Christmas. It's why it's associated with evergreens and lights and yada yada. But the two are so different in my mind it's not exactly stolen- traditions were collectively agreed upon and practiced fairly organically once people settled into Christianity.
Now, Wicca, Wicca however has stolen holidays. Classic British guy stealing mostly Irish culture. As Lora O'Brien puts it-

The current Neo Pagan calendar (and its primarily Wiccan holidays) is ostensibly based off the ‘Celtic Wheel of the Year’, as the early creators and authors of our modern traditions were very fond of their romantic notions of Celtic culture, and very sure that it was ok to just… take what they wanted, and change or use it however they wanted.

The problem with this (one of the problems) is that we now have a sort of tangled, much mangled, view of the original pre-christian Irish Pagan festivals, that even many Irish Pagans adhere to.

I'm not dissing on Wicca or eclecticism as a whole (LIKE FOR REAL I LOVE YOU WICCANS POG ON- we're pagan bros <3) but if you celebrate Wiccan holidays just make sure you know where they come from. Look up the Germanic, Irish, and Welsh roots of the Wiccan wheel of the year and use correct pronunciation and respect when incorporating these holidays into your practice- like many already Wiccans do :)
