It may seem strange to find a section on christianity on this page, but I decided that since I want to include many different traditions I may as well include this one too, since I'm a firm believer that seekers should study what they are leaving behind, as much as what they are trying to find. And most seekers are leaving christianity.

Now, I was only a christian (United) for the first twelve years of my life. If I get any of this wrong, please dont be offened, just correct me. Also, most of this will be historical, not biblical, so nobody freak!

Christianity is based on the belief of One Almighty Father God. Called, simply, God. Also, they have the son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit/Ghost (Catholic). Some Chrisitans call upon the Archangels for assistance, and others use Saints (Catholics).

They believe in sin, the doing of wrong against God, and believe that sins, unforgiven, will result in eternity spent in "Hell". Forgiveness grants entry into Heaven, where they will spend eternity with God.

Many Christian holidays are celebrated around pagan festivals. (Ex. Christmas, Yule. Easter, Oestara.) The reasons for this have been debated over and over again, and I won't repeat the arguements here and now. Also the practice of ritual (ie. Communion, Baptismal), is shared wth most pagan faiths.

Christians follow a book called the Bible. A testiment/guide book to how they should live their lives. Some believe the stories contained within should be interpreted literally, and other believe the events are symbols for other things.

Christianity took over the lands of Goddess worship, when the patriarichal religions moved south into the Fertile Cresent and British Isles. They realised that they could not convert all pagans and sought to either destroy or absorb what could not be converted.

The Christian figure of Lucifer/Satan, with horns, is an example of this absorbption. Satan is based on the pagan gods Cernunnos (Celtic) and Pan (Greek). When they found they could not convert the followers of the Old Religions, they turned the pagan God into their Lord of Evil.

Even some of the Catholic saints reflect pagan influence, such as Saint Brigid (Celtic Goddess Brigid). Not only are the names the same but the Catholic Holiday Candlemass, for Saint Brigid, falls on the same day as Imbolg, the Celtic festival for the Goddess Brigid.

Christians even have some of their own mythology.
