aslan posted:Also, please feel free to share the absolute worst Christian movies you've ever seen. I think mine has to be this one, which inexplicably has the premise of a horror movie (and is shot vaguely like one)--due to a sudden road closure, a bunch of strangers are trapped in a roadside cafe . . . where the cafe's owner seems to know a creepy amount of information about their lives. Because he's Jesus, of course. When Jesus isn't coming off like a serial killer, he comes off like a controlling, abusive husband. I'm not sure how anybody, believer or non-, could watch it and want to be a Christian afterward, but there you go. Holy gently caress I gotta watch this, the quotes page is something else. I just wish there were more. quote:Jesus: Would you like some water?

The music thing reminds me, I heard Pedro the Lion and P.O.D. for the first time about the same time more than ten years ago. I still listen to the former, because he says something important about life and truth regardless of your faith of lack thereof. P.O.D. was just some bullshit construct imo.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:At least I live in a country where we didn't even bother renaming Yule to "Christ-Mass". That is my favorite part. Literally Yule is attested decades before christianity is known to have arrived in northern Europe. I mean aside from that I know where Santa Clause comes from (his real name being the Yule Man, btw). He is a very big nisse, nisser being the creatures that live in every house lot. You have to feed your nisse, if you don't, they may knock the life out of your cows, and if you keep not feeding your nisse they'll most likely slip a disc on you or something, make your back all crooked. e: my great grandpas farm, the main house, when they moved it they had to move the horses skull too. Under the main room there has to be a sacrifice to Odin, basically, or the nisser will gently caress up your poo poo. Carthag Tuek fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Aug 30, 2014 |

Just Offscreen posted:Wait, so Santa is literally an overgrown Domovoi? Pretty much. That article also links to tomte, the Swedish word for nisse. A "hustomt" in Danish even means a house lot, but I don't know if they're cognate.
