No Christmas is about presents, buying things, and glitter. And eating and drinking too much and being obligated to send stupid cards to people you hardly know.

amen.

Wait, I mean I "concur"

SureThing said:

no, when you dismiss others with that stupid statement, that's not knowing what else to say. Me rolling my eyes is admitting defeat to an ignorant discussion with you. I know plenty to prove any point I have.

jerseykrs said:

Yeah, it's pretty easy to google stuff when you need proof.

So what are you celebrating when you have Christmas?

Jesus' birth or Winter Solstice?

I'll guess and say probably neither, your just doing it cuz thats what we do. Nothing wrong with that.

What I was so ignorantly saying is that, I don't THINK Christams would have held on, like it did, or became what it did, if it wasn't for adding Jesus into the mix.

You probably have a point. I mean, there are many ignorant people on this planet...and many think xmas is all about Jesus.

EFS won't know what hit him when he comes back to read his thread!

JustErin said:

See, thats the thing. I don't go around calling people who believe something, other than what I believe, 'ignorant'.

Christians choose to celebrate their Savior's Birthday. I don't see what is ignorant in that.

SureThing said:

again, what you said exactly was "Face it, if it wasn't for Jesus, Christmas would be long gone."

That's the only part I was referring to. And to say that is extremely selfish. To think that the almighty "Christianity" made it what it is is silly. Like someone else posted, believe it or not, there are millions of people that don't subscribe to that belief.


And I don't google shit and act like I know what I was talking about, it was simply a link to help people read a DIFFERING opinion.

Ignorant just means that one is not educated on a subject. It's not an insult.

I know, I just don't understand why you call celebrating a birthday iggnorance.

SureThing said:

That's not what I said.

I'm gonna sacrifice a goat tonight to help me relieve the stress of this thread.

jerseykrs said:

Actually, there was great stress in the Levitical sacrifices of unblemished livestock to God in Old Testament days.

If the priest wasn't right with God, he stood the chance of not making it out of the inner court of God's temple alive.

For that reason, priests went in with cord attached to them, so they could be dragged out, if that happened.

Now, that's stress.
