Is it Necessary??

I seen this on Pinterest, but I've also seen this on other places like forums and even FB. Is it really necessary to point this out?

Let's use Christmas as an example. Christmas is Christian because Christians celebrate it. Pagans don't celebrate it as a religious holiday...if anything it's pretty secular (to those who may celebrate Christmas). Christmas is Christian in the fact that its meant to memorialize the birth of their Christ. Regardless of when he was actually born, a day was chosen to emphasize that memorialization.

True, early Christians placed their holidays on or close to Pagan holidays to make conversion easier...but think about it. Hanukkah is eight days before Christmas...does this mean Christmas is Jewish? Or does this make Hanukkah, Christian?? Yule is on either the 21st or 22nd of December, whereas Christmas is on the 25th. There are LOTS of holidays in December...that doesn't mean all of them are Pagan...nor does it mean they're all Christian, Jewish, African, or whatever. 

I think meme's like these are nothing more than a poke at the bear...a picture form of a troll. A means of inciting anger for the sole purpose of doing so, just because you can. 

IMO, it's totally unnecessary. Who cares if Monday-Friday is named after Norse Gods? I don't! No one else does either. The only ones it really seems to have meaning for, is those who only want to use it as a means of inciting negative reactions. This doesn't make Christians look bad...it makes us PAGANS look bad. Rise above childish behavior and Paganism will grow and prosper without a double-take.
