Then, seeing that the people of Hamelin still refused to worship him, the Pied Jesus took out his magic youth ministry (Which had really hip Christian music and fewer than usual pedophiles.) and started playing. All of the children of Hamelin heard the music and their brains drained out of their noses and all thought and personality vanished from their eyes. The children followed the Pied Jesus into a cave, never to be seen again, and there was great weeping and lamentation in the town of Hamelin."

Astreja Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is a heavily bowdlerized version of a story from Norse mythology, where the goddess Freyja sleeps with four dwarves in order to gain possession of the Brisingamen necklace.

Thurisaz Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Just to have mentioned it as another wonderful example... What we call Santa today was Odin/Wotan back then before jebus cult came Oh, and that thing about Hell and the older heathen life-after-death in Hel (except for the chosen warriors who went to Valhalla)...
