Last time I entered church? Hmmm, difficult. Ow yes, with the funeral of my uncle in September.

I first was as child raised passiv catholic (you know typical countryside way). In 6 grade faith became a bit stronger, untill I discovered that christianity is one hundred percent fake. So I went to the real origin: Nordicism.

Well it is the original Germanic religion. It was very hard to convert the Franconian Netherlands and other Germanics (also troubles with the Celts).

> Samhein (Celtic fest of Death) > 1, 2 November > Halloween (in America came from Irish immigrants, then went over europe after WWII).

'Sinterklaas' (Low Countries) > Dutch take it to New Netherland (became part of New York) > 'Sinterklaas' went 'Santa Claus' (because bad pronounciation).
Santa Claus is actualy the Germanic God Woden (who is honored with Yule Fest)

> Adam & Eve: just the same persons as in Germanic Mythology.
