You decide! But be warned...if you celebrate any of these seemingly innocent days of mirth, you may be punished with an eternity of turning on a spit in the darkest depths of Hades! I tried to warn you!

OKAY!!! I've just read all the ridiculous literature on all of these "pagan" holidays - and I say celebrate them all!!! But, if I had to go with the most evil one, it would have to be Christmas, because it has the longest article written on it. Have you seen that thing? It must be 100 pages long! Who are all these crazy people?!! While I'd like to vote for all of them out of spite, I'm going to choose Christmas...just because I don't get the good presents anymore. (How's that for pagan?)
I'm sure you've all been waiting for a thought from the Seminary in Humble Waco Texas on this issue. So here goes...
I'm going to vote that the best article goes to Easter. Why you might ask? Because it was the most creative. It may be 100% accurate, but it seems that this fellow has completely made it up, due to the fact that he didn't quote anyone or anything at all. So my vote goes to the most creative of all for best article.
However for worst Holiday, i'm going to have to vote for Valentine's Day in agreement with chimchim. When I'm in Love everyday will be Valentine's Day!!!!
oh how off the mark all of you are...
Columbus Day...clearly the most evil
what other holiday revolves around the spread of Smallpox and the death of millions?
I'm interested to know what you guys--particularly the Humble Waco Seminarians (HWS)--make of some of these articles. I attest that, while these holidays may have pagan roots, in ancient times they were celebrated as a form of worship to some wacky god. Now they're celebrated (by your average person, anyway) just for fun. Tammuz who?
(Okay. I'm switching my sarcast-o-meter back on.)
Seems to me the most evil holiday of all has to be Christmas. Halloween is just too obvious. Everyone knows that's the day the Devil was born. Christmas is incognito. The perfect disguise! I mean, most Christians actually think it's a Christian holiday! (I know, right?!) I don't know about you all, but there's nothing I love more than a good Christmas tree-worshipping service.
(Sarcast-o-meter OFF)
The people who suggest that bobbing for apples, dying Easter eggs, ringing in the New Year and giving Christmas gifts to strangers (an abomination, according to the article) leads to all kinds of debauchery have obviously never done it themselves.
Sorry for the rant. It's things like this that make it easy for me to see why people think Christians are insane. I realize that may be a highly irreverent thing of me to say, but I'm just being honest. Hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they're absolutely right and we should despise any of the things the World approves of. What do I know?
Okay. Rant is over. Go back to having fun, you pagans!
I feel that being in touch with my pagan roots helps me be a better Christian! I mean, after I've done something really, really bad, I feel so much better when I sacrifice a lamb or goat or something. That way I know for sure that I've paid for my wrong doing! Don't you all think so? Well, don't you?
I'm going for Chistmas, because it was Obviously concived by the Catholics, which we all know, according to Jack Chick tracks to be the whores of Babylon.
That, and freaking thanksgiving. I mean come on. We're sacrificing fattened turkeys to the orge, Pilgrim God!
But yeah Chirstmas.
Patrick - You can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs. Every cook will tell you that.
(Mrs. Peacock: But look what happened to the cook!)
Graham - Don't forget that the word "Santa" is feminine, therefore Santa Claus is an abomination and probably a homosexual (no kidding! I actually found that in my research!).
You know Chick Tracts?? Brother, I remember sitting down and reading every single one of those little comics of the damned one afternoon. I never could figure out why people thought I was such a drag in high school. Ah, Chick Tracts... It's always nice to be reminded of God's conditional love, isn't it?
Queen iii - I'm not sure I follow. Although, if what you say is true, that would explain why, when I was at your apartment the other day, the place reeked of lamb.
Results so far...
Valentine's Day: 3
Christmas: 3
Halloween: 1 (submitted via email)
Columbus Day, Presidents Day, Kwanzaa, et al: 1
Wow, I never knew it was so sinful to celebrate Christ's resurrection until I read that link. Gee, now I feel so dirty. I guess I have to vote for EEEVIL Ishtar--uh, Easter.
In all seriousness, maybe someone should explain to these people that it's the spirit/intent of what you're actually doing when you celebrate, rather than the history that you may be completely ignorant of, that matters. When I celebrate Halloween, for example, I'm thinking a lot more about how fun it is to carve pumpkins and dress up in creative costumes than I am commemorating Druidical human sacrifice. But maybe that's just me.
"I'll see you in hell, Billy, but at least I'M gonna have some FUN before I get there!"
The Pagan Babylonian Feast of Ishtar enters the race! Keep on voting folks! We need to decide on the most evil holiday by Halloween night!
By the way, I'm totally with you guys on this. People say that, since Christians are supposed to avoid the "appearance of evil" that they have no business celebrating something like Halloween where witches and ghoulies are the order of the day. I've also heard that, in that same line of logic, that Christians shouldn't go see scary movies like 'the Ring' or 'the Exorcist'.
I don't know what to make of that. Sure, Paul talks about thinking only on things that are beautiful and uplifting--but y'know, I LOVE the thrill of being scared. Is that my sinful nature? I dunno...maybe it is. Maybe we should avoid that stuff.
In the end though, I think humans need things to celebrate, days to look forward to, to relax and have fun. I know Halloween has some sort of Celtic-Druid something or other in its past, but, with the exception of the Hot Topic-wearing Wiccans of the world, I think most people see Halloween as a day to dress in fun costumes and have a party.
If you haven't read the article on Christmas you really should. It's wacko like Jacko. And the truth behind what REALLY happens on New Years is just...bizarre.
I agree completely with the last 2 folks. From a New Testament point of view, the church of America today has completely mixed with the culture that has nothing to do with God at all. As far as I can tell, the church in America today is as far away from what the Body of Christ as it has ever been. We are completely comfortable and mimmicking everything that the American Culture is without truly following the teachings of Christ. We spend millions of dollars to build ridiculous state of the art Technologically advanced worship centers to be used for an hour or two a week and more than 50% of the world lives on under $2 a day. I think that before we can start picking apart holidays we should start picking apart our own intentions in daily life. 20,000 children die of hunger and hunger related problems but we continue to spend millions and millions on buildings where we feel comfortable and look good when we "worship". I think we should start feeding people instead of worrying about the 4000 year old religious holiday that has been completely adapted to serve a better purpose. But that's just me...no more serious...my head Hurts...
My vote is still on V-Day, it is meant to make single people feel lonely and people in a relationship have to spend to much in order not to get yelled at.
What the...? Do mine eyes deceive me? Did Patrick get it? I... yes!... yes, he did! Patrick got it! No pie this time, tie man!
As for my vote, well, since Easter is my favorite holiday, I suppose I must be most crushed to find out that it is nothing more than a pagan orgy of sin revolving around Nimrod's missing privates.
(Although on a serious note, did anyone else catch how absolutely brainless the writer of that article is and anyone who buys that crap must be? Seriously, they celebrated by marking themselves with a 'T' for Tammuz? A 'T'??? An ENGLISH 'T'???? This guy has the intellectual capacity of a door jamb. How is Baal also Satan? Why would the Babylonians worship a eunuch as their fertility god? What moron thinks they are attending a sunrise service for the purpose of facing East rather than celebrating that the sun rose on an empty tomb that day? And how does Ishtar proclaim that anything happen on Sunday when she lives in a world that doesn't mark the time in weeks, let alone Roman named days? Some people should just be beaten upside the head with blunt objects every day of their lives.) (Kidding, kidding. I don't think people that dumb should be beaten.)
(Just institutionalized.)

That's funny, Scott. I thought for sure you were going to go with Halloween, for no other reason than your sister is featured in the picture.
Who knew Easter Hams have been around since ancient Babylon?!
I'm not gonna lie, Halloween almost took it for me. The picture of that evil evil woman holding that filthy looking pumpkin was almost too much to bear. But I stand by my decision. That article opened my eyes to my wicked ways.
It's absolutly Halloween, no questions asked. What did it for me was the picture of that woman holding the pumpkin and her Evil Cat 'Licky' (I have a photo to prove the cat is of the devil...
OH NO!!
A three-way tie?!

Voting ends on Halloween night! Place your votes now now now!
I vote for Easter three more times.
Looks like the Feast of Ishtar is in the lead with 6 votes! There's still time for an upset before the stroke of midnight on October 31st! Who will triumph?
Easter, Easter, Easter
Why you would solicit my commentary is quite beyond me, but I do feel quite honored. After I spent last night alone, twilight off white rock lake at the arboretum, crickets chirping, stars shining, with a LARGE group of adorably pregnant women and their sickeningly attentive husbands talking through the ENTIRE movie right beside me... I am altogether too tempted to have to agree with chimchim's bitter diatribe against the holiday of romance. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of mushyness I shall not be cynical. Ok... Ok... I go with halloween. Thats why I'll be holed up in my apartment tonight building a pillow and blanket fort in my darkened living room while eating popcorn and watching cinematographic masterpieces, and completely ignoring the incessant knocking of trick-or-treaters.
Hey! Do I see a cut-and-paste job here? I feel like I should penalize you for that...but I can't think of what I'd take away. The way you wear your hat? The way you sip your tea? The memory of all that? What should I take away from you?
