Dear Deist,

Absolutely, Christmas and Easter are much bigger and more depraved lies than Turkey Day.

If you wish to observe the death of Christ, then keep Passover. That is when he died on the cross for the sins of the world.

The only men in the Bible who honored a birthday were Herod and Pharaoh. There is no command to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is a pagan custom to celebrate a birthday; any birthday.

God commands us not to do as the heathen do. If you do, then you will have the same eternal punishment.

With Faith and Love,
Ron HArvey

Replying to:

The same could be said of Christmas and Easter. However, even though the date may be off, should we just not celebrate these holidays? Sure, the original Thanksgiving didn't take place on the third Thursday of November, but why not have a day set aside to show that we are thankful? I don't care which day. Just because Christ was not necessarily born on December 25, does that mean that we ought to not allow people to think about the birth of Christ on that day? The same could be said of Easter.

It is just a holiday that has been set aside to give us all an excuse to get off from work and spend more time with our families. I'm all for it.
