Thread Name: Pagan Christmas Song ?
Subject: Pagan Christmas Song ?
I had the idea of writing a song - to be sung at Christmas Time - but based on one of the many Pagan Gods that seems to have been the inspiration for much of Jesus's biography in the bible. This song, of course, would ruffle more that a few feathers. When the song begins, it would be for all the world about Jesus - mentioning mid-winter, stables, stars,etc but then , just as the name Jesus would be expected, the listener would be surprised( offended!) to hear the name Mithras or whoever ( there are many who fit the bill ). Is this an original idea for a song?
