@JustSayXtian @moonythejedi Not to mention the fact that Christmas was originally started by Pagans, not Christians.

@_Kris__G @moonythejedi No, it wasn't. Christmas is and always has been a Christian holiday. They appropriated isolated traditions from an array of local pagan communities, but Christmas is not based on or an extension of any pagan holiday.

@JustSayXtian When I talk with someone who uses the phrase “Judeo-Christian,” I take that moment to ask the other person if s/he would be okay with a Muslim joining the conversation and talking about a shared “Christo-Muslim” calendar, holidays, scriptures, values, beliefs, etc.

@JustSayXtian I fundamentally don't understand these arguments because of a) all the things you pointed out, and b) for Christians, Easter is the holiest day, and we already did that in lockdown! this is not hard! we have livestream services!

@JustSayXtian A minor holiday literally reworked by the sages to be less about the military victory and more about a miracle story, in fact, because the sages were (rightly) very unhappy with the Maccabee sect

@JustSayXtian And different year also 2020 and 5781

@JustSayXtian Ah yes, the Judeo-Christian calendar, famously why the school calendar is *so accomodating* to Jews

@JustSayXtian I don't think there's exactly a "Christian calendar" with months that have names and such, but what we consider the secular calendar is NAMED AFTER A POPE: "Gregorian."

@JustSayXtian It’s not even the holiest time of the liturgical calendar. That would be the Easter triduum.

@JustSayXtian @PlanetofFinks Christmas isn't even the same day for all Christians

@JustSayXtian This makes me so mad. We've already had to be apart for ALL of our holiest times this year.

@JustSayXtian Unrelated to your concern, but the primary imagery associated with Christmas is a small family gathering in a secluded location. If a church can’t find a way to make that resonate today, they’re not very creative.

@JustSayXtian @C_Stroop The holiest time of the year:

@JustSayXtian can we also talk about the fact that my presbyterian college is like “why dont we have a class on abrahamic traditions but also exclude islam and just call it ‘judeo-christian tradition’” 😃

@JustSayXtian @Scheopner There isn’t even a uniform Christian calendar—just ask Gregory and Julian.

@JustSayXtian @democracydiva Right. And Easter is Christianity’s holiest holiday. Many states were on lock down then, too. You gotta try hard to be wrong that many times in one tweet

@JustSayXtian Ah yes, Pope Gregory XIII, famously knowledgeable and respectful of Jewish traditions.

@JustSayXtian And ה׳ has yet to strike us down for davening at home.

@JustSayXtian @Pr_JT_Sipf He’s wrong about Christmas too, so there’s that.

@JustSayXtian @njtunesmith I don’t know much about Christianity but I thought the main guy said something about the church being where ever a person is and not in any building.
