Christ In Christmas

[Eggyman]

Behave, Eggy! Anyway, I wasn't preaching, just saying what I felt

I know, sorry if it came across that way. I was just trying to show the difference between you, who make your beliefs known, and others, who push their beliefs on people.

 

[Alina]

Hey, it's ok, I was just kidding. I got to know you for a while. You're not a bad guy. Yeah, well, some people are like that, pushing. But I like to believe that the real christians are not like that. Just the opposite.

 

[Eggyman]

I agree. People who have faith should have faith enough in their religion to let people come to acknowledge it by themselves.

This thing would make a great avatar for quite a few Hypesters. I love it!

Christian capitalists certainly haven't commercialized Jesus enough, go for it. I mean with all of the Christian stores, the WWJD craze a while back, the televangelists. I'm sure the man Christians worship would greatly approve of slapping his name on a product to make a buck. (And, yes, I'm fully aware this is already being done with Christmas, but Christmas was never really about Jesus anyway, it was more a way to unify people under one religion.)

You been taking little jabs thru out this entire thread. Interesting.
But I hope you have a blessed Merry Christmas regardless of your feelings about it.

Peace....

Peace be with you as well. Wasn't really trying to take jabs, just putting my two-cents in. Merry Christmas.

Man, I really believe in God. I'm a religious person (not a fanatic. Some people here will probably call me that, if I say I'm religious, so I need to explain. Though I shouldn't.) Yes, there are proofs, but many people (and I'm shocked to see how many there are here, unlike many other forums I know) want a certain type of proofs. They are ready to believe in anything else, just not in God. That's just sad.

Since you are from Romania, are you orthodox? I'm just asking because I am.

oh and Merry Christmas everyone!

Why you laughing??
I have an 8 and 5 year old........ they asked if we could make a cake for Jesus' birthday..... and we've done it for the past 2 years... this is year 3. We ARE celebrating His birthday, so why not a birthday cake?

It is. That's why I laughed

Not to start an argument, but atheists can and do celebrate Christmas as well. It's not just another Tuesday for them.

 

[Addendum]

There will always be "rebuttals" to this subject. Always has been. Read it for yourself. Can't hurt.

Merry Christmas.

I've read it several years ago. It didn't convert me or convince me.

Happy Yule

 

[Dangerous]

I'm glad it's not Satanmas because then it would be a day of pain and suffering.

This is true, I celebrate getting presents and the cool food.
I also think St Nick was a straight shooter.

That's such a sweet idea, I've never heard anyone do that before.

I got back from the Christmas Eve vigil at my local Church and I am sooo full of the Christmas Spirit! A very Merry Christmas to you all.

Yeah the possibility of christmas trees eating people wouldn't be much casue for celebration.
