And

yes I am aware of the goddess Ishtar and all the spring fertility rites of the pagans, and we don't know the exact day of the Crucifixion, resurrection blah, blah, blah, etc.

I'll say the same thing I posted that I borrowed from somebody else at Christmas.

God doesn't just convert people.

He can convert customs, pageants, celebrations, rituals, rites and customs as well.

So now whats your argument?

Regardless of what it may be?

Know this.

God loves you.

So much so that he sent his only son to die for your wrongs.

All of them.
