Yosi, you wrote: "There are religious practices in almost every religion that have pagan origins. "

Isn´t it strange that only those religions that are said to have their roots in Judaism are trying to replace Judaism. Those religions that openly come from pagan origins have been much more tolerant and not so dangerous to the Jews. This must be the reason for the negative attitude of Jews to Christianity and not so much to Hinduism.

A man can be honest and strong in faith and still cut a tree and decorate it for Christmas. I find it difficult to condemn this kind of tradition as idolatry. But still when I have become familiar with the history of Christmas, I don´t like to celebrate it anymore. Pagan habits can be part of the culture and it is not easy to stop those habits. The question is what is trash, what is traditional , what is original... in the religion and how do you replace the pagan habits like Christmas in your family life ?
