Personally, I don't see anything wrong with Christians taking pagan holidays and making them their own.

Well, I won't try to make you change your mind.

Perhaps there was a day for celebrating the passover, but like every other holiday, it was moved to the corresponding Pagan date.

That's right, Finn, most of the holidays were moved to a pagan holiday with a similar date.

And lastly, we could get to a debate on the ethics of moving the holidays along the days when the Julian calendar outdated.

Calandar changes have not effected the order of the days of the week, but ten numbers were removed from October 1582 A.D.
So, before, when it was Thu the 4, Fri the 5, it became Thu the 4, Fri the 15. I believe that is what you are talking about.

...wasn?t Christmas at one time a moveable feast like Easter?

Well, no-one really knows when Christ was born (If that?s what you?re referring to), and the Bible was not clear when he was born. But, I believe I mentioned in a previous thread, the Bible does say something like:
...And he came, and dwelt among men...
Or something like that. The word dwelt in Hebrew means ?tabernacled?
So, it could possibly be a ?hidden? reference to the ?Feast of Tabernacles?.
