Why did Christians steal the idea marriage, Christmas and Easter and make them a religious thing?

Marrage started as a commitment of 2 people to each other the sex of the people were never stated

Christmas was always to do with the summer solstice NOT the birth of jesus

Easter was about spring and birds laying eggs and many animals giving birth again nothing to do with jesus

    Christmas was to ensure that their religion would survive and to gain a load more followers. Easter to celebrate a fictional event happening and marriage, the Bible says being gay is wrong but Christians pic and choose from the bible so there's no excuse there

    Well your right about the Christmas and Easter thing!

    However in the Bible God brought together Adam & Eve (clearly male and female) as the first human marriage - What God yoked to together let no man put apart!

    Society has made it more complicated by adding all these laws and apps. However that was just to keep up with people and children being born into the union.

    luke 6:46 / matthew 5:17-20 / matthew 24:4-5 not all "christians" really are Christians

    see who the fakes serve - 2 corinthians 4:4 / 2 corinthians 11:12-15

    Sometimes a religion needs to accept old traditions in order to be accepted.

    eg. Catholic missionaries allowed early Chinese converts to continue ancestor worship.

    eg. Indonesians used Hindu mythology to promote Islam.

    eg. Iranians continue to celebrate the non-Islamic new year of Nowrooz.

    How many of you idiots have ever seen a Bible, let alone read one. When you do use the A.K.J.V.

    Ignorance isn't an excuse any more.

    christians never stole any thing

    god established marriage

    sex was always mentioned in marriage

    christians celebrate jesus birth at christmas time and jesus resurrection at easter time instead of what others celebrated

    no one else ever celebrated jesus birth and resurrection
