Rachel Campos-Duffy said Christians "are the most persecuted religion in the universe" during a discussion about the shooting at a hurch in Minneapolis.
Yule and Eostre? The early Christians didn’t celebrate either (well, some did celebrate Pesach to some limited extent). They later did a hostile takeover of the pre-Christian soltitial and equinoctial festivities, in order to make sure nobody had any fun at them. They also converted a number of minor gods into saints (mostly now deprecated by the Catholic Church, but some still hanging around in Orthodox sects).
So persecuted that we get days off work and school based on their calendar
My days off are Saturn-day and Sun-day. Like all the other days of the week in English, those names have a pre-Christian origin.
Yes but the reason they’re holidays is Christian. And I was also referring to Christmas and Easter

Yeah but my point is that NOW we have holidays when we do to accommodate Christians
Let’s also take off Moon-day, Tiw’s day (Germanic Mars God of war), wOdin’s day, Thor’s day and Frigga’s day (Odin’s wife).
