Yes, I have opinions, but I tend to keep those a bit tame on the forum. Regarding paganism, the world's greatest current example is St Peter's Basilica in Rome. Walk around in there and take a close look at the symbols, geometry, art (personality worship), vestments, and other accoutrements used by the church. You might see numerous links to Egypt and beyond - if not directly, at least in practice. Sun gods have always been religions' heros.
Springfield. I am glad you brought this fact up. People like to follow what they have been taught or what they now believe. People are always trying to force the evidence to fit their theory or belief system. When in reality they aught to be following the evidence where it leads. That is why the truth is not more available.
What you bring to light is fact. The Mistic's want to suppress it. The Christians want to deny it. The Truth is that in different periods of time and different popes the Mystic's have been in charge of the roman catholic Church. When one comes to term with this concept Things began to change.
To the modes this is not evanglizing, This is a discussion about how symbols can or should be interpreted.
Here is another truth. There is no such thing as a christian mystic. Just like there is no such thing as a Christian muslim. It is impossibe. Each one serves a different god and they are enemies.
