I Have a Question

Totally honest because I do wonder. So I always wondered why christians celebrate easter with bunnies and eggs or christmas with trees and Santa when all that stuff has pagan origins. I can understand why back in the day before information was pretty much instant I can understand. But these days it doesn't make sense. Especially when most christians will call everything satanic because it's pre-Christian but they'll do valentine's day and be all low key saturnallia.

Its actually pretty understandable, if you even go all the way back to king tuts father, who actually believed Ra was the only god, the people freaked out so bad they literally chipped his name from the stones to erase it from history. Christians, mostly used the traditions of the pagans and incorporated them into their own as a way of convincing them to convert. Without the bad reaction. Its actually far more complex then that but it was the general idea.

@Kazuya69 yeah,I just don't know why they just sit go "ok,this isn't something Jesus did. We're all about Jesus so....let's not imitate nonchristians".

@HorrorshowHijabi Actually historically many Christians were against it, especially puritans.

But for others its like saying Christ was born in winter when he was actually born sometime in late spring to early summer.
