He loses his respect for you and your religion, keep in mind that the pagan was told that you had the TRUTH.
All he sees is that your so called truth is, is partial truth cloaked in his old pagan traditions.
We are living in a Internet anti-Christian world in where people have all kinds of information at their fingertips, and we need to presents good solid arguments to those who want answers and not just chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

Benincasa,
You and the other anti-Christmas folks have not really responded to the core issue in
Romans 14:5-6 which I've spoken of . Paul makes it very clear that one saint might choose a honor the Lord on a particular day, while another saint may choose not to . "Let each me fully convinced in his own mind".
If you choose not to observe Dec 25th as unto the Lord, then
just don't, that's all.
What is so hard about that?
