It is Advent. Once more, Christmas is drawing near, that church celebration that takes place with the greatest extravagance and fuss by everyone, whether church-oriented or not. So, let us take a closer look at the traditional Christmas celebration and the time of Advent.
The church institutions place great value on tradition. In the German edition of Bertlemann’s Hand Encyclopedia, we read the following about tradition: “Religion: for many religions the oral or written foundation is the basis of their teachings. In Catholicism, oral tradition and the Bible are considered a common source of divine revelation. The Protestant Lutheran Churches consider tradition to be merely a collection of sources in addition to the Bible.
The basic teachings of the Catholic Church are predominately its dogmas and customs.” In the encyclopedia we read: “In Catholicism, oral tradition and the Bible are considered a common source of divine revelation.” To think about this in detail would be a waste of time. But we know that for many churches, the Bible is merely a book for show, where it is read from, but which contents and statements ecclesiastic “dignitaries” do not live according to. So why should the faithful keep to it?
The churches consist of tradition and custom. The cloak, or guise, that they drape over these is then called “Christian” and “Biblical.”
Advent and Christmas have become traditional pagan customs. The Christian western world, which has sunk into a Christmas frenzy, into an intoxication of gifts, glitter and tinsel, has forgotten that unique event that happened 2000 years ago: the birth of the Son of God into a human body. The Son of God came to us humans. Today, however, Advent and Christmas no longer have anything to do with the coming of the Lord and His teachings. The church “flock of Christians,” which has become dull and apathetic, celebrates a traditionally ecclesiastical pagan feast, whose roots can be found in the belief in the gods of times past.
But only the fewest want to be reminded of this. For it is all so nicely festive and sentimental. After all, it is a family celebration!
It would be nice if it were the celebration of an intact family; especially since the family of Joseph and Mary symbolize a truly peaceable family. Any yet, how is it in many traditional families today? Perhaps – but only perhaps – one feigns a perfect world for a few hours, especially when eating together the turkey, the goose, the duck or a piece of venison, a roast of wild pig, a cod fish or some other kind of meat delicacy. But while unwrapping the presents, things already begin to “crackle.” Nothing against presents – as long as they come from the heart and the “good luck charm” of happy expectation does not already hang over the present.

Millions of animals are slaughtered on the altar of ecclesiastical tradition for the “holy” feasts, in order to observe, at best, for three to four hours, the sentimental pretense of a sense of family. After all, it is “Christmas.”
Christmas is no longer the celebration of the birth of the Lord, of the Christ of God, into the temporal. It is no longer the family celebration to commemorate Mary and Joseph, but it is the worship of the church’s sun god who has draped the cloak of “Christian” about himself – it is the same one the Catholic Church personifies by its “Holy Father” in Rome and the Protestant-Lutheran Church worships in the “shrine” of Luther.
The sun god is a male divinity, which the people of early times revered in the sun very naturally and as a matter of fact. Today the churches have established a symbolic figure, to whom one should bring sacrifices, and at that, not only by offering oneself in faithful devotion, but also in the form of church taxes, and on top of it, by slaughtering countless animals.
In earlier times, the animals were sacrificed to the gods to make them kind and friendly or “as a pleasing odor for the Lord,” as it says in Moses, or: “... and you shall slaughter the ram, and shall take its blood and dash it against all sides of the altar! Then you shall cut the ram into its parts, and wash its entrails and its legs, and put them with its parts and its head, and turn the whole ram into smoke on the altar; it is a burnt offering to the Lord; it is a pleasing odor, an offering by fire to the Lord.” (Exodus 29:16-18)
In the old days, only the priests were allowed to feast on select portions of the slaughtered creatures of God – today the respective “sun god” allows his faithful to consume the carcass pieces themselves that are days old and have been hung up to age. This is the Christmas celebration of the “Christians.”
