Can we stop pretending that Christian Holidays were all ‘stolen’ from Pagans and start realizing that Christianity actually had a good chunk of their history where pagans willingly converted and brought their culture into it. (With the larger church accepting these cultural differences btw)
Or even with Christian traditions that were started by colonized pagan groups it often wasn’t ‘theft’ but instead people mixing these religions and creating traditions and holidays they found comfort in.
Sincerely,
Someone who is tired of explaining that Christianity and Paganism aren’t like… spiritual mortal enemies.
