		<description>Good point, but sadly, your name is exceedingly gay so your argument is instantly rendered invalid.  Sorry, thanks for playing.</description>

		<description>Yeah, variants is a bit of a stretch, but hell, if I started splitting hairs I could be at this all week, and not just for Christianity. I&#039;m sure the professional theologists have a hard enough time with it.

And you are correct, insofar that Christianity is in fact a variant of Norse paganism; you probably already know this, but it was able to spread so rapidly (compared to other religions) by ingesting the customs of whatever religion it was trying to displace. Christmas coincides directly with the winter solstice celebration, takes gift-giving from Saturnalia, and even takes the name and traditions of the Scandinavian festival Yule. So on and so forth.

At any rate, oversimplification was probably the best choice in this case. I didn&#039;t want to write an essay, not that you cretins would read it anyway...TL;DR, amirite?</description>
