Can you show us anywhere in scripture where God tells us NOT to exchange wedding rings, have Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, have flowers at the wedding or flowers at funerals???

Care to discuss the pagan symbols on money?

Do Christians decide what goes on coins produced by the state? Did not Jesus use the "official" money of Rome to pay taxes and buy food?

We could also bring up the days of the weeks and months of the year.

You could, but since when do Christians decide what to call universally accepted names of days and months used in a calendar??? If I worship on Sunday, am I doing so to worship the sun or the SON of God?

Have you missed all the times this bogus excuse for an argument has been dismissed by the simple reason that secular traditions or usage doesn't mean they are or were used in the WORSHIP of God? Some cultural traditions for weddings are completely different than what is thought of as "American". We DO have specific commands from Almighty God that bans the usage of pagan practices in the worship of Him. Explain how your religion ignores these prohibitions. Please, keep talking...
