Church atrocities

[Maximian]

Most of the stories about “cultural appropriation” of Christmas and Easter are not true.

What’s wrong with cultural appropriation? Of something is good, it’s good

Are you making a joke? “Cultural appropriation” is when an outsider to a culture takes and wrongly exploits some aspect of an insider’s culture. It’s generally considered a bad thing.

He said some saints did atrocities, i asked for an exemple, you said St Paul, and now i’m confused

Yes, St Paul violently persecuted Christians before his conversion.

Obviously no one commits atrocities after they become a Saint because, well, they’re dead.

But in religion isn’t it strange to condemn one religion but use elements of it. I’m not a fan of the cultural appropriation theory but if anything, that’s the exact definition of it.

Some atrocities of the saints I suppose are more or less the church’s past and not necessarily canonized saints. The person who wrote this was upset about forced conversion.

I agree if it’s good it’s good but the question is if paganism is so bad, why use elements of it?

I’m not making a joke, that’s what some people claimed what happened with such things as Christmas and Easter.

No, I was speaking to Maximian. I thought I posted it as a reply to his post.
I didn’t mean you.
