Simple Christianity is an amalgym of other religions Judaism, Buddhism, paganism and it goes on and on all religions are exactly the same they borrow off each other and then try to say they're right and the others are wrong. There is no and will never be any definitive answer as to who's right, if there is a or any god(s) and truthfully belief in an after life can cause somebody to not live their life (watch the invention of lying) it's a perfect send up to the truth of religion fear of the unknown

That's incorrect and has been debunked many times. Groups like Catholics and Mormons have mixed in paganism but true biblical Christianity doesn't do that.

Yes it does Christmas, Easter are both pagan traditions also there's real evidence to say the 3 wise men were Buddhist monks who took Jesus for training, it's even possible they've found his grave where he was buried
-
Those holidays are not condoned in the bible. And neither is the wise men thing.
-
From which bible are you referring the 50 bibles of Constantine the vulgate? As the vulgate clearly recognises Easter as this was done in conjunction with the subjugation of the pagans
-
Easter is mentioned in the bible just like chanukah. Because people were celebrating it. It's neither commanded or condoned. The only thing we are commanded to observe is the Lord's supper. The Catholic church mixed in paganism to assimilate the people, but it's not biblical.

Nice to have an intellectual debate over religion it's usually someone bible bashing or completely saying religion is crap, regardless of what either of us believe there's plenty of evidence to debunk both arguments, it's definitely not cut and dry and truthfully no one will ever know if anyone is right. But the only thing that is an absolute given is that religion and that is all of them are man made and subject to gross misconception and they are all the same in 1 respect, they are all amalgyms of what's come before I mean the 10 commandments are taken directly from Buddhist teachings which in turn were taken from Hinduism et al this is not a bad thing just evolution
