If you bothered to read all of my post, I stated clearly that I participated in the seasonal celebration. I however do not consider this to be the day of the birth of my Lord and Savior. I acknowledged the difference of the two ideas no matter what you thought you read

I did. Taht’s why I start off with the point that Christmas is not pagan. Maybe you should have read my post. Maybe you shouldn’t be a hypocrite too.

“I stated clearly that I participated in the seasonal celebration.”

And I clearly did not say that you didn’t do that. Again, you clearly did not read what I posted.

“I however do not consider this to be the day of the birth of my Lord and Savior.”

Which I never mentioned or referenced in any way because that point is essentially meaningless.

“I acknowledged the difference of the two ideas no matter what you thought you read.”

No, you did not. I wrote: “You just don’t celebrate Saturn’s Day. There’s a huge difference between those two ideas.” Clearly the “difference of the two ideas” is that a day could have some sort of pagan meaning for ancient pagans but have no such meaning for Christians. You, however, have already stated your incorrect understanding: “I have no illusions about the day...it is a pagan celebration and always has been.” Thus, you consider Christmas day to be pagan. Thus, you do not see the “difference of the two ideas.”

Learn to read. Don’t be a hypocrite.
