I try to celebrate life daily, regardless what anyone thinks!
It will be a pleasure to see the dominating hatemongers fall!
I'll bring the Mead! ; )

lol as a pagan, I love this question.. I also love how the protestants love to distance themselves from their Mother church, Catholicism. If it weren't for the pagan emperor, Constantine, that little cult would've been wiped out in the 4th century.
The great thing about being a pagan is the freedom to celebrate life our own way.. the christians cannot and will not ever stop us from doing just that.

Yea eventually Yule will regain it's meaning. I can have a tree and not explain it's not because I'm Christian but they stole it from me.
I can tell people that Ostera is really about celebrating a harvest and not a resurrection.
I can tell people that a pentagram is a symbol and the cross means to attack.
and Halloween is a holiday when I honor my dead ancestors and don't have to apologize for it.
one day. maybe when I'm in the summerland
Blessed be

Why aren't they still able to celebrate them?
Why do you say we stole them? Maybe the Pagans who converted to christianity just kept those celebrations anyway, and then through the years, it just became a tradition. Like coloring eggs and having a Christmas tree....why must we have "stolen" them?

Don't get Christians confused with Roman Catholics.Christians have stolen nothing.We have gone along with Christmas and using the word Easter instead of Passover but that's like using the calender,it is Pagan too.

Hopefully honey! But the pagans never did stop celebrating, they were just pushed in the background a bit.

I think you are in luck. The Bible is very clear that in the end times false religions like paganism will become very popular with the people and this helps to establish the anti-Christ. But the good times won't last... for non-believers that is.

yes! pagans will be able to dance freely like they did before christianity, when the world was constantly warring over other things.

Pagans generally are free to celebrate, luckily.
all the more reason to keep fundies out of power, though.

We (Christians) aren't going anywhere until Christ comes for us. So what's stopping you from having your festivals now. Are you ashamed of your forms of worship? Jim
