Strong is the Puritanism on this thread.

"Strong is the Puritanism on this thread."

There are those who believe that all of the major Christian festivals - Christmas, Easter, and Halloween - have become overlaid with pagan accretions. To some extent, that is true. But - ironically - it's also true that many New Agers - especially the old-fashioned Unity and New Thought and Theosophy types - believe that Christianity itself, with the doctrine of blood sacrifice - is also pagan.
