Should Christian’s Celebrate Pagan Festivals

[Soapy]

The one Almighty God of the Jews prohibited the worship of other Pagan Gods and also any festivals associated with them.

But, contemporary ‘Christian’s’ openly, and even advocate, taking part in pagan festivals so as to attract non-Christians and younger audience who indulge in the festivities with no regard to its actual Christian meaning for people who live in countries who’s religious belief is that of ‘Christian’.

Pagan Festivals include:

• Christmas (Otherwise known as Self Indulgent day)
• Guy Fawkes (UK) (Also known as Celebrate a Criminal day)
• Thanks Giving …
• Halloween (Celebration of non-existent disembodied spirits)
• Mothering Sunday (Weirdly called ‘Mothers Day’)
• Pointless Day (Weirdly called ‘Fathers day’)
• Animal Day (weirdly known as Celebrate your Pet with fluffy toys and gay body waste coat and treats day)

It’s an open question and no explicit pagan festival is implied in the question so you can add your own.

You don't even seem to know what Bonfire Night is celebrating.

You seem think unless it's in the Bible it's Pagan.

Long live Tradition.

Agreed, even if we are burning Catholics in effigy.

...............Or should that be Catholic's?...............

Quite odd that given your premise in the first sentence that not one of these festivals mentions a Pagan god or their association with the festival.

You left out Easter.

Here is a longer list of pointless days

Happy Pointless National Day! Introduction And what a choice you have. There’s National Donald Duck day, National Chip week (clearly too important to restrict to a single day) and (Jewish) Marion’s favourite – Hug a Jew day. (She hasn’t yet been able to persuade her therapist that this is the...

Should Christian’s Celebrate Pagan Festivals

As long as it doesn't encroach on my or anyone else's rights or freedoms, what an individual Christian (or any other individual) "should" or "shouldn't" do is up to them to decide, not me.

Happy Weekend, by the way! (Is that pagan?)

It’s unclear who you are addressing the statement to?

You.

gay body waste coat

I have to ask, what exactly is this referring to. Does it involve bodily waste?

Typos happen - get over yourself!!

 

[Soapy]

You.

So you say I don’t know what bonfire night is about - and I live in the UK where we are taught about the acts of Guy Fawkes, his companions, the gunpowder plot, which attempted to assassinate Parliament and King James I…?

I'd like to know how it's celebrating a criminal.

Multicoloured, mottled, brightly coloured….
It’s not about sex assignment!

The word, ‘Gay’, was hijacked from its original usage and used for the homosexual community (more in particular to men who acted in a ‘Flowery, highly colourful, effeminate manner’. But that’s no reason not to use it in its original meaning when appropriate.

So you don’t think that attempting to blow up people doing a legitimate job of work in the house of Parliament where the monarch of the country was also attending IS CRIMINAL?

Bonfire Night is not celebrating him. He is being condemned in effigy over and over again. It's celebrating the fact that he failed. You didn't know this?

That's my take. Humans require celebrations to exist and as long as it doesn't hurt someone else I say eat, drink, and be merry.

Clearly, the event recognizes him as a terrible Guy.

One of those suits that people working down the sewers have to wear, perhaps?
