Some christians celebrate lots of secular holidays like christmas, easter and a whole host of other 'holidays'.

Might as well celebrate holloween as long as it's not part of a religious worship service I see no problem with any of them. They are just secular holidays.

You are using an invalid argument form. Your two premises are false and therefore cannot have a true conclusion. Does not meet the test of propositional logic. There are also some informal fallacies involved (I won't load you up on the Latin). I will leave you with this...

Søren Kierkegaard from The Sickness Unto Death:

The fantastic is, of course, most closely related to the imagination [Phantasien], but the imagination is related in it’s turn to feeling, understanding, and will, so that a person’s feelings, understanding and will may be fantastic. Fantasy is, in general the medium of infinitization…

This is also stated by Hobbes in other ways, phantasms or apparitions? Religion...

Sir Francis, I appreciate your reply. However, your logic escapes me. What exactly is the point you are making?
