“If you bothered to read all of my post,”
I did. Taht’s why I start off with the point that Christmas is not pagan. Maybe you should have read my post. Maybe you shouldn’t be a hypocrite too.
“I stated clearly that I participated in the seasonal celebration.”
And I clearly did not say that you didn’t do that. Again, you clearly did not read what I posted.
“I however do not consider this to be the day of the birth of my Lord and Savior.”
Which I never mentioned or referenced in any way because that point is essentially meaningless.
“I acknowledged the difference of the two ideas no matter what you thought you read.”
No, you did not. I wrote: “You just don’t celebrate Saturn’s Day. There’s a huge difference between those two ideas.” Clearly the “difference of the two ideas” is that a day could have some sort of pagan meaning for ancient pagans but have no such meaning for Christians. You, however, have already stated your incorrect understanding: “I have no illusions about the day...it is a pagan celebration and always has been.” Thus, you consider Christmas day to be pagan. Thus, you do not see the “difference of the two ideas.”
Learn to read. Don’t be a hypocrite.
I read yours and it didm;t even bother to address directly anything I had said....except to state that “Christmas” is not pagan. Now it is nice that you make a statement with no proof but there is more than enough history of ‘Christmas” to say that it is pagan....not only is origin ( as is Easter) but in the ‘choice’ of date.
Your current response is not only snarky but without any proof what so ever.
Naming of the day of the week while carrying names from ancient mythologies (Woden, Frigge, Thor, Saturday) does not a celebration make. That is illogical as a construct and really has nothing to do with anything in either the original post or my response to it.
You apparently do not know enough of your own faith to even know the history of the times in which certain events occurred. To bad, it might help you to a deeper understanding.
Don’t bother to respond I don’t want your blood pressure to get any higher than it already is... and I won’t engage any further with the disarmed
