What we're supposed to be against is SIN. What we're supposed to be for is Jesus. You're flipping this around to make it so that being for sin is being against Jesus.
Since when has taking a stand against pagan practices caused men and women to lose "focus" on their "mission" or on what their supposed to stand for? If anything, such a stance strengthens a saint’s resolve and purpose.
As far as “taking back ALL that satan has stolen,” you need to do a little more reading on that one. The Church NEVER used a decorated evergreen tree or a carved pumpkin in their worship to Jesus Christ. Where we do find these objects used is in pagan worship and celebration. So if you want to take anything away from satan, then work to take the Church BACK to what is WAS!
