I'm not against any person believing what they want to believe either it's just that this celebration seems so false and ill thought out!
The other thing that gets me is putting all 'ancient' religion in one basket and saying 'these people thought so and so' and therefore all the tribes thought the same thing at the same time. In spite of mass communication in our world we don't think that way so why should the ancients be any different?
I went to Stonehenge, years ago, as a tourist (yeah right) and as I was walking towards it that morning I noticed my shadow. It just occurred to me that to notice the sunrise I would then have to turn around to see it and it didn't make sense. It did make sense if you were walking towards the sunset though!
Perhaps we've got it all wrong and it was where they played cricket in those days! Mmmmm Mark Ramprakash in homespuns and animal skins! Yummy!!! :-D
