It was seeing how extreme it could get (seeing the condemnation of Chanukah and the Star of David in particular) that really pushed me away from pagan roots theories. FFOZ's teaching served as a sort of confirmation.<br /><br />Of course, I know not everyone will agree with me, and that's ok. Whatever conclusion you come to, I know you'll uphold it with an attitude of respect and love--and that really is the biggest thing. Good luck in your studies!

We've just listened to FFOZ "What About Paganism?" so your post is timely. : ) I sure don't appreciate the way "holier-than-thou" attitudes distance us from Christians, etc. It can get so extreme ... I remember once reading a paper on "graven images" that seemed to say that children's toys like dolls and action figures were out!Kelsey Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398824033560242061noreply@blogger.com
