[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 3817, member: 7"] We believe that celebrations and holidays like birthdays and Christmas are connected to pagan rituals. To celebrate these would be similar to bowing down to a pagan idol. We want to avoid this. Birthdays are never spoken of in a good light in the bible. In fact, people are executed in 2 out of 2 of the birthday celebrations found in the bible. None of the "good guys" in the bible are ever described to celebrate their own birthdays either. Beyond that, if you look into the history and tradition of birthdays, you'll find paganism. Christmas similarly has pagan roots. [/QUOTE]
