People following the blind beliefs of another, holding onto something they can't prove to exist or not. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23747689 It seems so much easier to blame all your sins on someone else and then believe that a god will forgive you and let you into heaven. Religions brings hate and hypocrites. The bible says not to judge people, yet Christians are the first to judge another for not believing in the Christians beliefs. To me it's just one person trying to get another to believe that their god is more real then the next. Pretty funny if you ask me. What you said is not even close to what and who GOD Almighty is, you have no idea why people believe in GOD but I can tell you it is not anything you think or have to say...

Nothing about Christmas was ever stolen from any other local custom or festival. What you're referring to is merely the transition of local cultures infusing some of their long-standing traditions into the celebration, and nothing more. The truth is that a growing number of people especially those young enough not to know better and whom are thoroughly uneducated and uninformed are getting too much deceptive, baseless tripe off the internet. Jesus was real. There is no doubt about it in 2000 years, and that truth exists totally apart from your or anyone else's lack of knowledge. Good Day. You, my friend, know ABSOLUTELY nothing about the history behind this. there were no cultures infusing traditions. The church actively changed their own ceremonies and traditions when they moved into a new area in an attempt to more easily convert the locals. The locals did not color the traditions. The traditions were intentionally changed by outsiders moving to a new area to convert people. From the tree, to the presents, to the decorations, to the traditions, EVERY SINGLE part of the christmas holiday as it is celebrated today has been stolen from past pagan tradition. Christmas as it is celebrated today is absolutely a PAGAN holiday. everything you just said is untrue garbage. I have a Masters Degree in History among other studies. Pagan is a general word. The Roman Saturnalia was a multi-week feast of 2 weeks at the Winter Solstice. Christmas became the Roman State holiday when Christianity became the official religion of the Emperor. The Church allows its faithful to incorporate some of their former traditions such as Yule, etc and they are different in different places. The way "we" celebrate Christmas today is commercial because capitalism and industrialists influenced society starting in the later 1800s. That goes for many other holidays and way of life, not just Christmas. Also, it's the Epiphany which is more popular around the world as the day to exchange gifts, as that was the day the Wise Men gave their gifts to Emmanuel. You think jesus was born on christmas, how sweet. Does it matter? You think Santa was born on Christmas? Or do you think Christmas is so you can gorge on food and unwrap presents? |

Keeps the name JESUS up in lights at the centre of the known universe (Times Square in NYC). I used to be an atheist of this same ilk, and now I'm born again/aka ex-convict. Some of the most outspoken atheists are on the same path I was, and they'll likely also be born again/aka ne brainwashed, hopefully sooner than later. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29130443 Don't get mad -- pray/aka make believe for them. That's what Jesus/aka mythical being with no proof of existence told us to do. That's what my grandmother did for me for 36 years. Her prayers finally kicked/aka a belief that cant be proven in shortly before she died. She lived just long enough to see/if she recieved medical treatment during her life science kept her alive..go on what everyone else (myself included) never in a million years/ thought the world was 6000 years old? would have thought possible -- me becoming a Christian/aka a person who thinks they are above and know better than non christians. I think it's wonderful/gives me a chance to smite when atheists speak out/aka give us even more reason to build our pedastals higher and shout how much better we are than you non believersabout Jesus. At least someone's keeping the name that's above all name on people's minds (Christians aren't that good about it these days) and it gives us clear-cut prayer targets. So, I see this atheist ad as win-win!/aka round up the bible thumpers Jesus warned us we'd be hated and persecuted,/although we infact are the haters and persecuters but he also told us not to gripe/like we do at any given chance when in fact we are brainwashed to turn the other cheek...dis obey much? about it because we, through God's spirit,/aka make pretend have overcome the world./aka braiwashed many of generations It's all good!

Quoting: christian With a picture of Santa Claus above another image of Jesus Christ, the sign, sponsored by New Jersey-based American Atheists, urges passersby to "Keep the Merry!" and "Dump the Myth!" Attacks on Christianity from the group have become routine, and in the bustling heart of America's busiest city, most folks don't even waste a shrug on the sign.
