Some have claimed they are wrong.

Re: Are Birthday Celebrations Pagan

I have not found any Scriptural prohibition against having a feast on your birthday. The Rregulative Principle of worship applies to worship, liturgics, morals, ethics, etc. I do not see it applying or governing (in a strict sense) things like whether or not to have birthday celebration or school graduation or marriage anniversary or other such things. I could be wrong, but that's where I'm at, at this point.

Using the above line of thinking, then there is nothing wrong with picking a day to celebrate the birthday of the greatest man who ever lived?

That's called a non sequitur. Just because I havent found a Biblical injunction against celebrating birthdays does not therefore mean it is okay to designate a holy day to God that is nowhere commanded in Scripture. Besides, nobody just "picks a day", they keep the catholic holy day, Feast of the Nativity aka Christ's Mass, which is the birthday celebration of Mithra/Sol Invictus, the Unconquerable Sun, the Sun God (elsewhere known as Baal).
