The real reason why Judaism hates Christmas

[PolishTruthSeeker]

Apparently it has a lot to do with pagans, like Slavic rodnovers, than Christians, who were, as they say "enablers of paganism and idolatry".
How am I supposed to think about it, as someone who would like to worship Perun, Weles, Mokosh at some point?

EDIT:, OK, you don't have to debunk, if you don't want to, but I feel like my pagan heritage is a bit insulted.

Why should you care about what other people think?
Your practise is your practise.

 

[PolishTruthSeeker]

They claimed that pagans sacrificed people (not saying it's untrue, but does it apply to modern times)?

'They' talk a lot, don't tthey?

Honestly, pay it no mind.

I'll take the bait.

As @Robert Ramsay said, you shouldn't need to think about what other people think of your practice. As long as you're not breaking any laws. If you just want to worship some gods, go ahead. Do you need anybody's permission?

As for the baitey-part of your post, Judaism doesn't hate Christmas.

In the case this isn't bait, and you genuinely wonder how is Christmas perceived from a Jewish perspective, I believe there is nothing better than jwhia's answer: a fictional letter to a school department about inclusivity of different holidays where Christianity and Judaism are swapped. I have a Christian background, and I find this hilarious:

I think people don't like xmas because it's a mixture of blind consumerism, really shitty music and aesthetics, and forced cheer- all on the bedrock of an oppressive slave religion.

I'm not much of a Christian nowadays,

I wonder how is paganism perceived by all abrahamic religions who plan to marginalize pagans. Includes Islam, Christianity and Judaism

This just sounds like you've made up a guy in your head to get mad at. Marginalise? Ban them from carol singing or what? I haven't noticed any pagan pogroms recently.

Google Noahide laws.
The religions that believe in monotheism will have the best life, according to them.
If not Noahide, then Shariah laws and also Project 2025.

I guess you believe the Protocols of the Elders of Zion as well?

OK, I guess I know what you are now, for sure. Goodbye.
