In this episode of Anne's Archism, I examine the One True Way fallacy of Christianity and dig deeper into the roots of Christian beliefs, rituals, and how a lot of what the religion was built on was borrowed from surrounding pagan religions.

Is the virgin birth strictly a Christian narrative? Do we attribute feelings of merriment and glad-tidings to the celebration of the arrival of Christ on earth? Or were those being practiced by non-Christians long before the birth of Jesus?
