Christianity = Paganism + Judaism?

[Pigling]

Christianity maintain lot of Pagan content like Christmas, Eastern, Halloween, saints just like you got many deities in polytheistic religions, Slava/Saint Patron day (in Serbian Orthodoxy), even cross is Pagan symbol.

Early Christianity was just reformed Judaism, but modern-day European Christianity especially Catholicism and Orthodoxy is heavily Pagan influenced.

[Colonel Frank Grimes]

Halloween isn't a religious holiday but yes Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity is influenced by previous existing pagan religions.

[RN97]

Most of it yes. Orthodox and protestant are probably the closest of the major sects that come close to original christianity. After the Renaissance christiany was also altered to be less like it originally were.

There is no original Christianity. Its a copy paste of past religions. Same shit with Juden und Muslimen religionen

Christianity could have been influenced by paganism, but it's not considered a pagan religion. Pagan = believe in more than one God. Christians believe only in one God, and saints or Virgin Mary aren't considered as "Gods".

they hold to trinitarian doctrine no? a direct ripoff of Mithraism...

Believing in one is part of the 3, and the one is the son but also the God, it falls in the definition if pagan. All religions do. they all deviated from their source.

I do agree with this, RN97.

Also, not all Christian denominations accept all those things you listed OP speaking from my own denomination.

Well, in the Bible there is wrote "there is only one God, which have 3 persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit".
Indeed as you say they should be considered 3 Gods you're right, but Christians consider it as an unique God.

How is Trintarianism ripped off from Mithraism and how is Trinitarianism somehow pagan?

Not true. Protestantism is an even greater deviation from the Orthodox Catholic faith than Roman Catholicism is.
