That thing about the "happy solstice" seems a little vulgar to me...

I have noticing that between some not believers the practice spreads of replacing the traditional congratulations or holidays of religious type with others of "pagan" type. The thing would be "repaganizar" what one day was pagan but on which that placed a religious holiday, for example the solstice of invierto that was turned into Christian Christmas.
Before thinking about this, I believe adapted to point out that it seems brilliant to me that everyone celebrates what everyone makes happier to him, whenever the others are done by the due respect. If he makes happy to someone to disguise itself in Halloween instead of in Carnival, or to do it two days or none of the two, or that the gifts an Armadillo brings them to itself instead of Santa Claus, or this one instead of Magi, or straight not to give him anything in these dates: it seems brilliant to me! Everyone has to look for his happy way of life in the life. Sometimes that happens for making happy those who surround you, although it supposes celebrating some things that not always are of the taste of one.
Returning to the topic: does he suppose any advance laicista celebrating, for example, the winter solstice instead of the Christmas? We might think that while the solstice us is common to all the human beings, the Christmas only it would be to those that they take part of the Christian celebration. Perhaps to advocate the solstice had something of instigator in some moment and could serve like protest against the dealing preferable that social and institutionally he enjoys the Christmas … if it had something of instigator, I believe that it has lost it.
Personally doing apology of the winter solstice seems ridiculous to me. Yes, the solstice supposes that the Sun comes to one of his tropics, and in the north hemisphere the hours of light begin increasing, while in the south hemisphere everything opposite happens. Is more lay to produce cult to a physical phenomenon than to mystical one? To turn the science (be the astronomy, the physics or the mathematics) into something mystical does not seem progressive at all to me, rather everything opposite. I do not believe that to produce cult to the “law of the gravity” or to one “fenotipo recessive” is an advance with regard to celebrating the day in which a guy was born. Equal they are walked.
Paganizar the Christmas more than than it is already paganizada me takes a fancy complicated. And the merit I believe that it is not of the movement laicista: the English Cut went forward us. We owe to the society of current consumption that the Christmas is what at present we know: a time where the people with luck have a good time of a few days of holidays, where those who have the opportunity meet his families and have dinner together and if the pocket allows them a few gifts are done.
To celebrate the solstice instead of the Christmas is to change a very numerous flock of sheep into less numerous other. Before two irrational things (a holiday based on the cult to an astrological phenomenon or another cradle in the birth of a being with superpowers - Jesus Christ-) I remain with the one that is inspired by the type with superpowers, because already of making slightly irrational mola put in the irrationality up to the fund. To celebrate the solstice is like disguising itself in Carnival by half. Since someone disguises himself or takes part in an irrational cult, I believe that it is suitable to be implied well. Already set to do the chorras …
Certainly, what mola of having a blog is that you can repeat what you have said one year ago, and almost nobody remembers. I have an incredible cheek.
