All the good """Christian""" holidays are just stolen Pagan ones.

All Saints' Day. Holy shit I know you're brown but at least try to learn the basics of Western culture before moving here.

The greeks used to have a big holiday in March to celebrate the end of winter and that spring was coming, which is why December is called Deca, because January/February were ”dead months” to them

We should bring it back. One week off in March for everyone to have feasts and party

All agree?

Protestantism, Catholicism and East Orthodoxy are all from Europe.
Also my point is that Christianity in the West is basically just Paganism with a Jewish veneer.

This is evangelical tier. They're the only people in the West that don't celebrate.

Islam isn't a part of Turkish culture then?
Buddhism isn't a part of Chinese culture?
Hinduism isn't a part of Balinese culture?
The Hellenic and Zoroastrian influences in Judaism aren't part of Jewish culture?

That's why Christianity was so successful at taking over. They made the transition as convenient as possible by incorporating existing beliefs into Christian tradition.
I've heard a lot of the Irish Catholic saints are heavily based on pre-christian gods too

If you want to strip it bare then basically no one has a culture except for these guys and most of these cultures have already borrowed from others anyway.

Their culture isn't pure because they use metal from shipwrecks.

If you're using the "they can only have things that they STRICTLY came up with themselves" argument then basically no one has a culture unique to themselves.

They do.
I was talking about taking a whole ass religion and claiming that it's yours despite it being another's, abandoning your own religion in the process as well.
