Do you do anything at all that stems from paganism?

To say that we shouldn't celebrate the birth of Christ just because pagans celebrate it too is akin to saying that we shouldn't speak in tongues, because pagans speak in tongues too. If you don't believe me, just watch the National Geographic channel when they're showing the rites of passage into manhood in some of the African tribes.

Don't dance in church, because pagans dance in the ballrooms.

Don't shout with the voice of triumph, because pagans shout at ball games.

Don't fly your American flag in support of our troops, because pagans fly an American flag.

Come on, get real.
