Genuine question, how come non Christian people can celebrate Christmas without it being cultural appropriation?



Answer:

nekomcevil:

misandry-mermaid: Because Christianity survives by forcing itself on people. Forced conversions, compulsory holiday traditions. People don’t realize how difficult it is NOT to take part in some version of Christian celebration, just because it saturates everything. America’s national holidays align with Christian holidays for fucks sake. It’s the dominant religion and non-Christians are oppressed by that dominance. That’s why. Also, Christmas was not originally a Christian holiday. It was a Pagan holiday in celebration of the Winter Solstice and “return of the light”. As Christianity started to spread out through Europe, it took over some of the old holidays in order to make it easier to convince people to convert to Christianity.

so christmas is a celebration of cultural appropriation

and now christians are worried about non-christians appropriating it by celebrating

how poetic
