Christmas a Pagan Holiday

Have I ever told you how tired I am of hearing from certain Christians about how Christmas and Easter are just the takeover of Pagan holidays and rituals? And, so what? What if they were? As it now stands, people all over the globe participate in these holidays -- and most of them very sincerely as an act of worship. Are they some how deceived and really worshiping a false god now because of supposed pagan origins of these holidays? Really? Come on now. Christians every where worship Jesus Christ on Christmas and Easter, rearrange their lives so to serve others and participate in the life of the church in special ways -- all because of Jesus, the real risen Jesus of the Bible, Lord and Savior of the world. Who cares if pagan holidays were co-opted. Get over it. If it's true it's just another great example of God taking the sinfulness of this world and redeeming it for his purposes and kingdom.
