I suppose the fourth of July is pagan as well?
At my house, it's a moral holiday.
Jack Barbara,
Are you able to discern between a phoney ritual that purposely situates itself smack in the middle of Christianity's holiest time of the year (Christmas), which celebrates the birth of the Son of God--to Kwanzaa, a made-up celebration--and then attempt to toss into the mix the anniversary of the birth of a nation (the 4th of July) as being in the same context here?. Celebrants of the 4th of July never sold it as an alternative to a holy religious day as Kwanzaa does to Christmas.
Seriously, are you unable to grasp this distinction? Or was your analogy just poorly thought out before you typed it?
