Anything that looks like the letter T also becomes a symbol of the cross.
Tammuz starts with a T. That means (according to impeccable logic) The cross is a Babylonian symbol.
Sigh.
Two pagans are mentioned celebrating birthdays in the Bible--therefore (according to impeccable logic) all birthdays are pagan.
This kind of baffling "if it looks suspicious it is evil" thinking is primitive, unenlightened and poorly reasoned.
That would be forgivable if it weren't being held up as the HIGHEST DIVINE WISDOM of TRUTH and a sine qua non of spiritual wisdom.
