Babylonian BS: Part 2- Immediate Problems

Unpacking the Controversy: Are Modern Christian Practices Pagan?

Join us as we delve into the provocative claims of Hislop and his followers who assert that contemporary Christian traditions such as Christmas, Easter, and Sunday worship have pagan origins in ancient Babylon. Hislop argues that these practices are rooted in the worship of Nimrod, Semiramis, and Tammuz, equating modern believers with ancient Babylonian idolatry. However, we challenge these assertions with a critical examination of logical fallacies like false analogy and genetic fallacy, questioning whether similarities necessarily imply direct religious continuity. Explore with us the nuances of cultural and religious evolution with insights from Dr. John Oswalt's "The Bible Among the Myths," revealing a deeper understanding of how ancient practices may influence but not define modern faith.
