Is Christmas a Pagan Holiday?
Manage episode 390172386 series 3370767
The origin of the Christmas holiday is a hotly contested topic for both atheists and Christians alike. Atheists claim Christmas started as a pagan holiday that Christians hijacked, thus rendering Christmas irrelevant. Some Christians argue that Christmas isn't a valid holiday as we can't verify if Christ was actually born at this point in the year, and thus, we shouldn't celebrate the holiday. Yet, still, some Christians claim it doesn't matter if it started as a pagan tradition that Christians co-opted, nor does it matter if Christ was actually born this time of year. Rather, what matters is the celebration itself. On this episode of the Bible Bashed Podcast, we will address the issues surrounding the Christmas holiday.
