Hey, get on the internet and you can find people that believe everything is pagan, or a conspiracy. I believe Paul gave an example about eating food offered to idols, just take care not to offend the weak among you, because the idols are really nothing. Get over it, that's a bunch of fear mongering.

By the way .. JS ...

Tomorrow is Wednesday ... it's in honor of : Woden's Day

This name comes from the Old English Wodnesdæg meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden (Wodan), more commonly known as Odin, who was the highest god in Norse mythology, and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other places) in England until about the seventh century. It is based on Latin dies Mercurii, "Day of Mercury"; compare French mercredi and Spanish miércoles. The connection between Mercury and Odin is more strained than the other syncretic connections. The usual explanation is that both Odin and Mercury were considered psychopomps, or leaders of souls, in their respective mythologies. Also, in Old Norse myth, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetic and musical inspiration.

You may not want to step out of the house tomorrow because you might be mistaken as honoring a pagan god ... stay home and purify yourself.

Right, since we live in a pagan culture that has adopted the Roman calendar then why not actively celebrate all pagan traditions, right? Nonsense.

Absolutely, just don't let the weak folks see you eating them, they might lose heart.
