Of course. Your ethical standard's are higher than the Bible's standards. In truth, this is faint praise.

Believe -- Just In Case. What do you have to lose?

Do you really want them anywhere near you? Be careful what you ask for.

Such is the nature of Theocracy. It doesn't matter which flavor.

So true.

Yes.

Alright then. Math humor. There are three kinds of people. The people who understand math -- and the people who don't. Why are the days longer in Summer; and shorter in Winter? Because in Summer, it's hot and the days expand. In Winter, it's cold and the days contract. Stay happy.

I am not concerned with "some historians". We are a church. I speak my truth as I understand it. The origin of these holidays is Pagan. Yes. "These". I'm also thinking of Christmas and others. The new religion looted the past, and made these events their own. They created and maintained new narratives that obscured past Pagan contributions. It was theft and it was dishonest. There is no statute of limitations on cultural crime. It was wrong then. It is wrong now. Theft and dishonesty do not become legitimate with the passing of time.

It's dishonest. It's theft.
