Fighting for god(s)

[mlmooney89]

I am just curious on a Christian's theory for this, no hostility at all. Why are almost all the Christian holidays on documented pagan holidays? It seems like they are trying to over shadow those holidays on purpose to make people forget about them.

I think that some things certainly have been adopted.  And I think that it is understandable that it is simpler to replace a culturally ingrained tradition, rather than to eliminate it.  Some things may be coincidence, though as well.  For instance Christmas is often charged with adopting the pagan holidays, however in reality it is a little after, and distinct from the practices for which this is claimed.   There is also an ancient Jewish superstition, which claims that great men  lived for whole years.  When you calculate back form Jesus's death, then this would place his birth at the end of December.  This also accounts for some Orthodox traditions, which celebrate Christmas in early January based on a different day for Christ's death.

But the fact that man is changing these all important date kinda make a Christian hesitant about the whole thing? Like the fact "that some things certainly have been adopted" make the whole covering up of other religious holidays seem a bit sketchy which puts everything in a wtf state?
