Thanksgiving is a pagan holiday

[KingDavid]

According to this meme, Thanksgiving is a pagan holiday. I might look up the Bible verses and post them.

[KingDavid]

“2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6 Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.”

-Jeremiah 10:2-6

“21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.”

-Amos 5:21

“18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.”

-Jeremiah 7:18

“2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”

-Luke 2:1-8

I know that Halloween is certainly a pagan holiday and while I don't necessarily take umbrage at any particular auspicious day having some sort of pagan pedigree or etymology, as paganism in the pre-Christian era enhanced and sustained the power and glory of the late Roman Empire, I do find it repugnant that Americans take so seriously holidays that have such spurious and frivolous origins and are nothing more then paradigmatic "Hallmark Holidays".

I also find it ironic that most NPC morons who commemorate Thanksgiving with such zeal and gusto are oblivious to the fact that it makes a mockery of the plight of the Native Americans who suffered unspeakable depredations at the hands of the rapacious Europeans who sought to exploit this land and whose progeny eventually foisted the degeneracy of western culture upon all of us.

Yes people love tradition and hate christianity. Theres also halloween. Also during christmas people worship corporate marketing. At some point the powerful archetype of santa claus that was created by corporations was about to remove je(W)sus so the church reacted. Kids always sincerely try to go back to their roots. Jews always inflict on them abrahamitic religions.
