Christmas is also a very Pagan tradition which has long Pagan roots....but when I checked this very same website...they didn't seem to think that it was/is....why is that I wonder?
It's hypocritical to call one holiday pagan and not all of them Mike Moderator cut: correction to name you can't have it both ways.

Reason: Mike would prefer you not call him "Mikey" I corrected it in this post
Maybe you should check your facts, christians used to celebrate All Hallows Eve which is what Halloween developed from.
Love the one eyed outlook on the world coming from you guys.
Better be careful about all those pagan fertility symbols at Christmas and at Easter as well.
LOL....EXACTLY! ALL the holidays we celebrate have Pagan roots! To single out just one is nonsense..Moderator cut: off topic and please call him by his name MIKE

Agree! Just as I don't attach a religious connotation to Christmas, I don't attach the occult to Halloween. Just a time to have some fun with family.

Yes because when we attach Gods name to a pagan holiday....we do not honor God. Christmas is just a good time to share with family and friends...if kept in that perspective....I have no problem with it at all.
There are likely 4 billion false gods in creation, and yet only 365 days for each to have their birthdays...
So chances are that on every day of the year some false faith is celebrating the birthday of some false god or another.
There are only so many things you can find at the store to bring home and eat, so chances are that no matter what you have for dinner tonight that someone at some other place and time, used to use that same food as a way of worshiping their false god.
Everything you wear, everything you say, everything you can point to, has about an equal chance of having been at one times, based on a false religion, or used by a false religion to worship with.
Pointing to Halloween as if it's totally different is silly.
Thinking that just because someone long ago worshiped a false god with the act of handing treats to kids and that somehow it still condemns the same act today?....is also silly.
Im sure shaking hands at some point in the past was connected to a false religion.
Im sure that brushing our teeth is also based on a pagan practice.
Im sure that many of our foods are grown by non-Christians
Im sure that most of my clothes are made by non-Christians.
Im sure that most of the steel in the car I drive was reused from other steel that came from countries that are mostly non-Christian
Im very sure most of the gas in my car's gas tank is from countries that are non-christian.
If a person thinks that even the slightest connection to the world's false religions will effect him, then he better just go walk naked into the wilderness and to eat berries for the rest of his life..
The world is not set up for people like that....and never was....
I think most of us realize that it is not demonic, and that most of the other holidays that Christianity follows were taken from other religions. The old adage that "nothing is new" rings true here.

I don't celebrate Christmas or Easter either, because they are pagan. WhyModerator cut: very inappropriate would you make your assumptions that I do?

Reason: removed offensive word
The moment you turn of a light switch you are in a very real way, starting a little fire inside that lightbulb.
Now as you may know, fire was used by pagans.......
Inside a car there is lots of iron....now from a little reading of Genesis I find that the first workers with metal were from the evil family line of Cain,,,thus the steel in my car is not Christian.....
