Once you have learned the truth about something what do you do?
Do you choose to pretend ignorance? Perhaps claiming its our tradition to do this?
Once you learn the truth can the thing you once thought to be true ever be truth again?
Many say ignorance is bliss. In and of itself that is true. But I have to wonder about "chosen ignorance." Choosing to continue in the once held truth after learning the real truth is nothing more than living a lie.
If your traditions are born out of lies, based on lies, then it stands to reason that you cannot make that tradition truth no matter how hard you try.
Dare to live up to the truths you have learned in your life. Dare to hear the beat of that different drummer. Dare to swim against the stream.
There is freedom and liberty in living what you know is true and no having to live up to a lie.
I challenge you to examine your beliefs and traditions and see. Do you live with truth or chosen ignorance?
Do you celebrate holidays because its your tradition? Do you know what it is you really celebrate?
I find it very disturbing that Christians are so willing to hold fast to pagan holidays. I won't go into this at this point but will post some more information soon, but suffice it to say, Don't confuse me with your double talk. Either your christian or your not. If you celebrate holidays that were born from pagan roots, then you may want to change the title you claim.
If someone wants to celebrate these holidays, thats their choice. But I do find fault to those who will damn a pagan to hell, then turn around and embrace their holidays as their own.
Either you lie or you tell the truth. Either you live truth, or you live a lie.
Why choose ignorance?

Like I said earlier, I am neither for or against someone celebrating these holidays. What I am against is xians claiming pagan holidays are xian when they are pagan. You can't have your cake and eat it to sorry.
