#i am reacting to that philosophy hdsljd

@ everyone in the notes talking about the origins of various holidays—my siblings in christ, you are missing the point. i don’t care where the holidays came from, I will be celebrating all of my culture’s holidays for Jesus

listen I don’t think easter was a pagan holiday but if it was then like, so what?? it’s christian now?? let’s do halloween next

#i know halloween came from a catholic holiday#that doesn’t change the fact that I was told as a kid that I couldn’t go trick or treating because it was satanic#i am reacting to that philosophy hdsljd#you can talk about holiday origins all you want but I didn’t forget about them I just don’t care I don’t think it’s relevant at this point#it’s like the etymological fallacy in defining a word#where the word came from does not control how it is used in current speech—and assuming that it does will mess up your dictionary
