CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jesus celebrated the Feast of Dedication (aka Hanukkah and Festival of Lights) even though it was a man-made feast, This man-made feast was pleasing to God. 1 Maccabees 4:59
John 10:22-23 It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon.

"Old matters"? The Easter stuff from a week ago in this very topic. That's not old. The Christmas discussion was a little older, but still in this topic and less than a month ago.
And the problem is that you have such a recurring tendency to post claims, have people point out there's not evidence for these and in fact evidence against, and then rather than give a real response, you typically just change the subject or don't respond at all. Now, I usually am pretty lenient on people dropping a subject and not replying. Everyone has things to do, and arguing with strangers on the Internet is for a lot of people a lower one. The problem comes that, after your points have been rebutted, you come back and make the claim all over again as if none of that had happened. That's why I bring up "old matters" (if one week ago is "old"). What I suppose is "old matters" is when I noted your initial post on Easter was mostly just a copy of a post you made a year ago... but there the problem was that even though I went into great detail in pointing out your errors, which you were apparently unable to respond to because you just changed the subject back then, you still post off the exact same errors all over again. And then that happened again here; despite the major problems with your claims that I and others have pointed out, you just make the "pagan" claim again as if that hadn't happened.
Remember, this was how the Easter conversation went (at least by my reckoning, others can certainly weigh in on if they think I have represented it properly).
You: Easter is pagan! Here's a bunch of claims about it that I copied from another site.
Me: No sources or evidence is offered for any of this. and a lot of this is provably false or there is absolutely zero evidence for; also, this is almost identical to something you posted a year ago that I already responded to in detail and which you offered no counter response, so you should know the problems with it already.
You: *ducks giving any response to any of the points raised*
Me: You ducked responding to a single point I raised.
You: *ducks giving any response to any of the points raised again*
Me: You ducked responding to any of the points again.
You gave no additional reply after that. Again, I would have let the matter drop... but then you, one week later, again bring up the claim of Easter being "pagan" even after your errors were demonstrated in such depth and you had no response or evidence. That's why I bring up "old matters" because you keep doing this.
