No, I don't believe in animal sacrifice so I don't celebrate this holiday,
I know too much and question everything.

All so called Christian holidays have pagen origins. The Christians just took them over. I know too much and question everything.

You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.
