It would be ok if O’Reilly really was clinically insane, but downright ignorance is no excuse. Christmas was originally a pagan holiday called the Winter Solstice when people celebrated the day on which the period of time when the sun shone during the day began to increase. When the Christians began converting Pagans to their religion, they superimposed a holiday celebration of Christ’s birth over the celebration of Winter Solstice. This was done only after many failed attempts to stop the converts from celebrating in their pagan traditions. Easter is the Christian’s attempt to hijack the pagan holiday of Summer Solstice. Even O’Reilly’s blond commentators think he is crazy. Wow.
