Re: Islam vs. Christianity Part 1

LOL.....

Here is the factual orgin of your celebration of the "birth of christ"

The Emperor Constantine combined Christianity - a popular cult amongst the civil service, and the Sun God religion popular with the Roman army, in his ambition to create a re-united Roman Empire with himself as Emperor. His claim to see a vision of a cross on the Sun's disk could have meant something to either cult. Symbols and festivals merged into the new state religion. Christmas was taken from the Sol Invicta (Unconquered Sun) religion was supposed to be the winter solstice. The 25th March was fixed as the Spring Equinox. Both dates were not exact astronomically.

Merry Christmas!

Here is the orgin for the day you choose to have church:

The names of the days are in some cases derived from Teutonic deities or, such as in Romance languages, from Roman deities. The early Romans, around the first century, used Saturday as the first day of the week. As the worshipping of the Sun increased, the Sun's day (Sunday) advanced from position of the second day to the first day of the week (and saturday became the seventh day).

Sunday: The name comes from the Latin dies solis, meaning "sun's day": the name of a pagan Roman holiday. It is also called Dominica (Latin), the Day of God. The Romance languages, languages derived from the ancient Latin language (such as French, Spanish, and Italian), retain the root.

By fruits you are known or so I hear......

Now - on the other hand:

Lunar calendars remain in use among certain religious groups today. The Jewish calendar, which supposedly dates from 3,760 years and three months before the Christian Era (bce) is one example. The Jewish religious year begins in autumn and consists of 12 months alternating between 30 and 29 days.

Newsflash: EVERY month begins and ends with a new moon and has for, well, at least 32,000 years......before Islam, Judaism, or the self-enriching and sun-worshipping christians.


The Oldest Lunar Calendars and Earliest Constellations have been identified in cave art found in France and Germany. The astronomer-priests of these late Upper Paleolithic Cultures understood mathematical sets, and the interplay between the moon annual cycle, ecliptic, solstice and seasonal changes on earth.

The First (Lunar) Calendar –

The archaeological record's earliest data that speaks to human awareness of the stars and ‘heavens’ dates to the Aurignacian Culture of Europe, c.32,000 B.C.

Between 1964 and the early 1990s, Alexander Marshack published breakthrough research that documented the mathematical and astronomical knowledge in the Late Upper Paleolithic Cultures of Europe.

Have a good sunday....!

This particular calendar was carved out on bone. There is a nice photo.
