I already showed you the lie, it’s still in my clipboard:
The traditions are founded in Christianity and the Christmas story.
And then here in post 46 you make a statement that clearly shows that statement from 29 is wrong headed:
It makes as much sense to consign pine to a particular group as to consign the use of a building to a particular group.
Even in post 97 you yourself show the weakness of your statement in 29:
And celebrations at and around the solstices are much older than one religion or another.
So your own statements show the lie of insisting it is exclusively the Christmas season and the traditions are from Christianity and part of the Christmas story. You yourself have pointed out there have been holidays in this season long before Christianity and the traditions come from outside Christianity. You yourself have shown that your ENTIRE post 29 is a lie.
I wrote:
Is it the basis of all these traditions you see in our culture? Does it inform Santa Claus (St Nicholas), mangers, wise men, in any way whatsoever? No. It does not.This cultural celebration is about Christmas. The traditions are founded in Christianity and the Christmas story.
You shortened it to:
The traditions are founded in Christianity and the Christmas story.
So, you think that St Nicholas, manger, wise men are not part of the traditions about Christmas???
You're not serious are you? Or did you just misread what I wrote?
