Ok, just wondering how an atheist doesn't believe in God.. Isn't their religion centered around the fact that HE.. God.. doesn't exist. Without God, they wouldn't have a religion. 
Atheism is not a religion. It is a lack of any religion. I don't believe in aliens either but nobody has invented a word for that yet. The concept of atheism was invented by religious governments to persecute those who did not follow their religion. |

Halloween and St. Patty's day are the only two holidays I celebrate...I don't want a bloody christmas, or an easter, or a fourth of july, might as well just do away with the most of them.

Ya know, I bet if someone tried to create a holiday and get a bunch of followers, it would turn into that whole Waco, Texas deal. What a fantastic idea indeed.

I was raised to believe Christmas is mostly a time of hope for peace, harmony and friendship. Anyone can celebrate it. And in case you didn't know December 25th hasn't always been a Christian holiday. It was originally a pagan holiday that was celebrated centuries before Jesus was even born. The holy bible doesn't even mention the date of Jesus' birth. December 25th is the birthday of the Unconquerable Sun, the Sun God, in Roman history though. The Roman Catholic Church stole the holiday in the 4th century to try and force pagans to change their religion.

I would give a Atheist a kick in the balls for ruining such a special holiday.They don't even print "Christmas" on the school calanders anymore as they don't want to offend anyone.They also dont want any more lights or Christmas trees as they say this is a Christian holiday.It is also forbiden to say "Merry Christmas" to anyone.Thanks for what you have done.Now we can all sit around depressed and miserable. Are you sure you aren't the one that ruins it by filling the air with negativity? It amazes me how people like you act the complete opposite of what your religious teachings encourage. Get a life and stop blaming others for your own unhappiness. |

its amazing how people can be so easy to disrespect other people's beliefs.
guess my momma taught me different. my catholic mom fell in love and married a moslim man (my dad) and he loved christmas so much. not for the christian belief of it... not for yule.. or any other background. he loved it because it was a time for giving and family and friends and togetherness regardless to whats happened in the past. its a time for forgiveness and respect of everyone around you. and if an atheist doesn't believe in it or believe in hell thats their right. no one should mock them for their beliefs. nuff said.

Elanher it is just my opinion and nobodys elses.As far as spreading negativity....I don't see any Christians suing,protesting,blocking traffic,rioting,or trampling on anyone elses rights or beliefs despite the fact we are under constant attack from every other religion and non religion out there.I think it's fair to say that Christians are probably the most peaceful and most civilized people out there when it comes to dealing with these problems and issues.
I am often puzzled when people say they are offended by a Christmas tree in a public place or Christmas lights on a government institution.Are you going to need counseling because you saw a Christmas tree?Do you think you should be compensated by the government because someone said "Merry Christmas" to you?Do we not have gay pride parades in cities all over America once a year that are paid for with tax payers dollars?If someone is offended should we stop all the gay pride parades. My point is this...The majority of people in American love Christmas.We love the lights,we love the Christmas trees,we love watching children sing Christmas songs in our public schools.Christmas is a not so much a indivual holiday but one where the community as a whole(including government,city,and other public places)comes together to celebrate Jesus's birth.It has worked well for hundreds of years and I understand people get offended but it is a very small majority and I belive we live in a state where majority rules.It has now swung the other way where usually one person ruins it for the entire community because he/she is offended.Worse yet once they get rid of the Christmas decorations they seldom(if ever)return. As far as you telling me I should "get a life".I have one,and I have one where I stand up for what I and tens of millions of other believe in....the right to celebrate Christmas any way we see fit including decorating the entire town with lights and Christmas trees.If you are offended I could care less because maybe you need to be offended!Nobody seems to care too much about offending the Christians. As far as me and the bible is concerned....I hate to break the news to you but its not all flowers,little puppies,holding hands and singing "we are the world".The bible clearly does not like Christians being killed,taken advantage of,trampled over,or other wise disrespected. God has wiped out entire towns,and even flooded the entire earth killing everyone because he was upset with the way they were acting.Even Jesus was clear to not waste your time with people who will not listen to you.He also denied healing a womans daughter(but later did)because she was a gentile.Something for you to think over.... Ezechiel 25:17 The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. |
