Episode 5: Is Christianity just Fanfiction?
Neva and Maria discuss the beginnings of Christianity, the "snakes" that St. Patrick drove out of Ireland (read: Genocide of Pagan Culture) and how Easter and Christmas just happen to coincide with the Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice and what they represent and the ideology that carried over from Pagan Traditions.
Disclaimer: We respect all religions, we just want to be transparent about where some myths, rituals, traditions, and ideas come from.
Also, turns out Christianity IS the leading religion in the world, inching out Islam by half a billion-ish.
