Now,..... who's going to be the spoil-sport, and try to convince me that Halloween is pagan? :p

Well one thing good about the Debbie Downers is that they do seem to go in order so St. Patrick's is next on the chopping block.... I'm sure some of the Presidents were Pagan....we just had Presidents day too.....then after St. Pat's it will be Easter...Big Time....We have a whole line up of Pagan holidays coming just sit back and wait....I'll enjoy the chocolate in the mean time....50% off after Valentine's Day is a good deal too......
 
All this talk about pagan holidays got me thinking, could the fourth of july be considered a pagan holiday? I typed it into google and according to one website, the founding fathers picked this date as a hidden celebration of sun worship. And then I wondered...is my birthday(january 31) a pagan holiday? So I googled that too, and I guess some people called wiccans celebrate something called imbolc either on jan 31 or feb 1.

I guess what this means is, you can find any answer you want for any question with the power of the internet.
 
I always look for the label .... **These chocolates were not offered in sacrifice to idols** ... just to be on the safe side. Sure, they're a little more money. But I'm worth it :)

I rarely offer likes, they increase in value if you hold onto them right? This however made me laugh and so you get one of mine.

Wasn't he an actor?

Kidding...he was alright.:)

My wife came home this morning carrying a big heart shaped box of chocolates and informed me that I had already bought her a Valentines Day present. When I told her that was great, I could now cancel dinner reservation's, she said, "I didn't say that you could do that!" Sometimes I just don't understand women.
 
This video is not to put you off, if you want to carry on worshipping paganism, thats by your own will and not of God. second. I am not telling you what to do, and that you should do what a youtube video is telling you to do. However, in the video it has very intereseting things to gain you more knowledge of how Valenting originally came about.


Brother, seriously, no one I have ever known "worshiped Valentines Day......." Sometimes, just sometimes we need not worry over such. As for various worldly holidays/celebrations........the vast majority of them did not come from Christian Faith. True, but, as I see it...............the unbelieving masses have had them long enough, time for believers to take hold of them and turn them into a day that praises God........and edifies the Church.

Brother, I am not going to argue with you, I explained my position, Like I said I was not trying to put you or anyone off. And again I was not causing a pagan hate thread. As you people seem to think I have. I did not post this thread to dampen you all as one had suggested. I posted as I Did explain, Honestly I did, perhaps many of you closed your eyes at that part when you were reading the post. I did explain its not to try stop you, or to put you off. I am sorry you people saw it that way. I was merely trying to give you another angle about valentine, and some knowledge of the history of something you people like to follow Pagan celebrations. its just something for you to listen too, Perhaps I need to be a little more explanitory next time. The problem with people they dont read all the post, they quickly glance at it, and then make assumption. Then when one person makes a Oh boooo whooo cry, and tells people oh look richie_2uk is putting a dampner on things, lets all turn against him, people quickly follow suit. lol But perhaps people need to realise that you Can not read emotions behind text. meaning you cannot know what way people mean just by reading text or writing. I get that, But how on earth did most of you turn negative against me, just because I was trying to show you people a different angle of things and throw in some knowledge about Valentine's day?

you people amaze me sometimes, how quick you are to judge and assume the wrong. I forgive you you all, those who were negative. Amen!

Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.

f you want to carry on worshipping paganism
, thats by your own will and not of God. second. I am not telling you what to do, and that you should do what a youtube video is telling you to do.
You can spin it anyway you want. You started off with telling everyone they were pagan who disagreed with you and then told us to prove you wrong. If you really meant otherwise you should take a class on how to offer opinions without pimp slapping everyone first. So ya...anything you have to say at this point is rather irrelevant , we aren't stupid. You came out swinging, got called out on the carpet and now you want to say we are quick to judge...
Read the following and tell me how what you said could be read in a way other than what you think you meant

First, You have to understand that you do not have a time machine to confirm whether this origin story about Valentine's Day is actually true or not (For people can make up stories that are just not true); And even if it was pagan in origin, is Valentine's Day celebrated today in a pagan way? In other words, without pointing to some possible History that may or may not be true, please tell me how Valentine's Day is evil today. What do people do on Valentine's Day that makes it evil? For example lets say you discovered some historical video about how cars are pagan in origin. Are you going to stop driving to work? Again, even if the people thru out history who created cars had an evil intent behind making them, that is not the purpose of how they exist today.

Second, folks are not being negative when they express an opinion about what they feel is right and good. Unless you can tell us how Valentine's Day is evil today, then you don't really have a case to say it is a holiday that would should not celebrate with our loved ones. Being negative is when people never ever have anything nice to say about anything or anyone no matter the circumstance in any given situation. Expressing an opinion against that which is not good is not wrong or an example of being negative. People here are expressing what they feel is right based on the evidence that they can see in front of them and not on some Historical story (that may or may not be true).

In other words, the thoughts behind the OP are based on Historical Science and not Observational Science; And there is a huge difference between Observational Science and Historical Science. One is a lot more reliable and trust worthy than the other is.

Here is short animated video that goes into explaining it:

I know you were talking to somebody else in the response above but I need to ask you to forgive me as I was angry with you yesterday for posting the same video in my Valentine thread that had been going nicely until your post. It kind of took the fun of the thread away and yes, I was angry and I even prayed not to be angry but it kept picking at me and then I came on this thread and started picking at you.. So I am truly sorry for that and ask to be forgiven... I did my dirty deed publicly and so I will publicly ask to be forgiven....

You are probably right it is probably pagan and we probably shouldn't celebrate it and I had no right to pick at you here or over in my thread....everyone has a right to their own opinion and I can't say that I will stop celebrating the day unless my husband doesn't want to celebrate it then what would be the point?

I am sorry though and I am also learning to deal with anger management - my own evidently I failed this test but trying to get back on track the way a loving Christian should and for my part in being mean I am sorry. Darlene/JesusLives
