The Truth About Christmas (Part 2 Podcast)

"Paganism" in the context of classical antiquity as "the unity of religion and politics, of spirit and nature, of god and man", qualified by the observation that "man" in the Pagan view is always defined by ethnicity, i.e. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Jew, etc., so that each Pagan tradition is also a national tradition. It is to postulate that the emergence of monotheism (one God), must find a way to merge all gods into one universal god – the “Grand Architect” of all gods. Thus paganism and Hell-enistic (4th century Greek period of multiple gods) cultures became the answer. From this the Pagan traditions and the universality of human spirituality (Geist/spirit), finally resulting in the emergence of a religion with a universalist scope in the form of the organized society of the “Knight Templers.”
