  • Jesus in Toast? Mary in a Grilled Cheese? A Christmas Song With 184 Birds?

    Jesus in Toast? Mary in a Grilled Cheese? A Christmas Song With 184 Birds?
    Dec 28 2025
    That viral claim about "The 12 Days of Christmas" being a secret Catholic catechism turns out to be the perfect example of how our brains can trick us into seeing faith where none was planted. From a $28,000 grilled cheese sandwich bearing the Virgin Mary's face to ghost hunters hearing spirit voices in radio static, we're wired to find meaningful patterns everywhere — even when those patterns don't exist. What does this mean for believers trying to discern genuine revelation from the stories we tell ourselves?

  • ZURVAN: Why Roman Soldiers Built Temples to This Lion-Headed, Snake-Wrapped Demon

    ZURVAN: Why Roman Soldiers Built Temples to This Lion-Headed, Snake-Wrapped Demon
    Dec 28 2025
    The True Story Behind Zurvan - The Demon From The Novel, "Advent of Evil"

    In Persian Mithraism, there was a deity associated with time and fate. His followers celebrated him during mid-winter festivals — festivals that reached their peak on December 24th. In the novel Advent of Evil, that deity appears as a demon who operates through a cursed advent calendar, enforcing strict rules: one door opened every day, no skipping, no ignoring. Break the rules, and there are consequences. Researchers tracing the object's history in the novel found it connected to a spirit board, a serial killer, a Christmas Eve fire, and thirty years of patient waiting. How much of the demon Zurvan has any basis in actual ancient mythology — and was there ever a real entity behind the fiction? We'll examine what archaeologists found on clay tablets dating back over three thousand years.
