we are getting off topic here.  infinite was suggesting that catholicism had pagan origins; and asking if people see a problem with this, as most of modern mainstream christianity derives from catholicism.

whether or not muhammad borrowed an "old" name for his "new" religion is irrelevent, as the "old" religion isn't some pagan religion.  muhammad embraces the "old religion".

do catholics embrace their pagan roots in a similar manner?

I used to be a pain in the ass towards religious people, but now I just hold the liberal position that everybody has the right to have a certain attitude without noone to bitch about it, as long as he aint hurting anyone because of his attitude.
Fuck it, if religion is what makes ppl happy, more power to them.

for the most part i believe you are correct. 
at the same time people should be willing to defend what they believe in.  this isn't some sort of unfair assault; if infinite has questions...why not simply answer the questions?  if people wish to challenge infinite on his beliefs i'm sure he's ready to defend those.

thats because we dont have pagan beliefs.

whats funny is, muslims dont concentrate on practising their religion, they put alot of concentration into bashing others religion, and hanging people for converting.

I TO DA GEEZY:
The pre-Muhammadal Islam was a pagan religion. This was actually the most essential change in it- transforming it into a monotheistic religion.

The name Catholic was around before Jesus and it was the name of a popular religion in Rome.  After the popularity of Jesus had reached Europe and became prevelant amongst the people, Constantine decided at the Council of Nicea that they would co-opt Jesus into their religion, and still keep the same name.  This, by the way, was about 300 years after Jesus died.
