I don't think it's conscious though.
Christian holidays are manipulated based on the agenda of the ruler. Refer to Constantine. They aren't based on true facts of Jesus' birth/life. So one has to wonder what is the motivation for the manipulation?
Christmas is celebrated on a day on which a very imortant pagean holiday normally took place. In order to facilitate transition to christianity and make it easier for more people to adopt the religion holidays were scheduled in a way that will comfort the target of the religion - pageans.

Conspiracies are awesome, some of them are true but most of them are only good for story telling. Use them with caution smile
Exactly. He assigned his pagan holidays to Christian figures not necessarily to facilitate the transition but also to not part from his original beliefs. It's hard to part from what one believes in. This is why religion resorts to cultural tradition being carried forward rather than what the actual religious belief is.

I don't think politics is as simple as ignorant and aware individuals voting candidate of choice or even that transparent.

It isn't as simple. Democracy is hacked, it's a fact. However, it is not 100% hacked and the control is way more subtle and chancy.

And lizard-related cobspiracies, stanic symbols and demonic influence, aliens walking besides us are just some theories that can only provoke laughter on my part.
Democracy is a sham to pacify the naive. Politics is much bigger than what we see or made to see. I don't believe in aliens, but satanic art is there. To each their own.

Btw, in order to belive in satanic symbols and influence you ought to be a theist and consequently believe in Christianity. A religion which you implied is founded on manipulation and desire for control. Isn't this a big philosophical discrepency? Or maybe i have misunderstood sth
Why do I have to believe in Christianity? I can believe in any Abrahamic religions, no? It's no secret that Satan is a religious figure. Christianity isn't entirely false just like neither is Judaism or Islam.

Taking bits and parts of different religions to defend a position is a fallacy in the argumentation. Different religions exclude each other from the perspective of the believer. You either believe in one, or you don't. If there is something wrong with a religion, in your opinion, than the religion itself is not something you believe in.

Otherwise you just seem like someone who uses convenient and unprovable arguments to defend its position. And im saying this not in order to win a debate, but to get us closer to the truth. if we are arguing we both need to make modifications in what we believe because the truth is in the middle. Thats what i believe in when i debate with someone

I will not discredit an entire religion for some falsities. I'm a monotheist that has taken what I have found consistent in all Abrahamic religions. That's something I do with historical accounts as well. Nothing is infallible so neither is any religion. I don't have to believe in every belief that makes up a religion to be considered a believer/follower. I can reject what doesn't appeal to my logic.
