When you can't improve on something, you copy and paste...
"In pagan mythologies the gods had their consorts. And they were all divine, beautiful, powerful, influential.
In the Bible YHWH has also a wife - poor, sinful, unfaithful Israel, fallen and wallowing in her own blood and filthy rags (cf. Hosea and Ezekiel).
Paganism has always celebrated power, beauty, youth, fertility, influence, assertion.
YHWH is different. He decided to share his divine nature with what lies in the gutter.
For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.Luke 19:10
And in the process of this "seeking and saving" He went to the gutter Himself.
That, my friends, is the real, eternal, pagan, raw context of Christmas.
That's why before it being merry, Christmas is holy... and it will remain a mystery for pagans."
