Lets clear something up thats wrong with this comment. First, Christmas NOW, is not a pagan holiday. It's true the church started celebrating Christmas to offer Christians an alternative to a pagan celebration, thats all.
Second: Easter never has been , nor ever will be a pagan holiday. It celebrates the death AND resurrection of Jesus Christ, and there has ever only been ONE Jesus Christ.
The historical evidence of Jesus is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Whether you want to believe it or not is your choice.
The only thing Christian about Christmas is the name and the baby scene. The fact is still there that it was a stand-in for the Yule. And in celebrating it is still not accepted as a Christian holiday since other regions also celebrate it, and since they don't believe in Jesus being a completely different religion, they celebrate it in the spirite of the yuletide instead. Take out the Christian symbolisms and it's still an intact holiday.
As for the other, where do you think the word 'Easter' came from?
Please don't tell me you actually believe that those were Jesus actual birthday and crucifixion dates.
