>>Any notions of paganism associated with those holidays have been ground down into dust and scattered to the winds of history.<<

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God

So can you show me where God changed His mind on that one?

>> If its such an issue then you better abrograte that calendar you work off of.<<

In what way is the calendar used in serving or worshipping God?

Didn't say He did chage his mind. I'm saying this understanding is flawed. We don't worship Christmas and we don't worship Easter. Were the OT Jewish feast days and sacrifices patterned after pre-Israelite pagan customs paying homage to those deities? I don't think so. Somebody needs to put down the Hislop.

My girlfriend made pozole for me tonight. Which apparently is some sort of pre-Columbian dish used in Aztec rituals. All I know is it tastes good. Am I serving and worshiping Quetzalcoatl by partaking of this dish?

Ultimately this issue is a solution in search of a problem. And it doesn't become a problem until an individual fails to recognize that there is a visible Church, empowered by Christ through the Holy Spirit to address such things. Like santcifying the previously pagan for the Greater Glory of the the One True God!
