    The original intent of naming the days after these gods was to give honor to them.
    (Under the Law we wouldn't been able to even say their names).

    So the original intent doesn't matter as long as the current intent is not the same which you indicate would be manifest by what one does?

    Following that reasoning then, a Halloween celebration is OK as long as we don't get meaningfully involved with Druid ritual right?

    Who draws the line and where is it drawn is the real question. I believe it's a personal issue between God and the individual (as someone has already indicated).

    Ultimately, HankD, everyting boils down to personal issues. Not what is right or wrong but what we choose to believe and what we choose to do about it. The purpose of these threads is to express our beliefs and what we do about them. Sometimes I get carried away and think I get to decide what is right or wrong instead of having the responsibility of discovering the truth and then backing it up with my life. I stand by my beliefs until convinced otherwise. What I do not stand by, is my presentation of those beliefs. I will continue to post my beliefs but will try to demonstrate my concern for others at the same time. I keep forgetting that cyber people are people, too. [​IMG]
