I hate seeing Christmas before Halloween. That holiday has lost almost all of it's original meaning to most people. It's just one big commercialized event. It saddens me. :(

Christmas means absolutely nothing now- no one even thinks about Christianity- just presents and fun- it's ridiculous.

Did you know that they don't even know if that was Jesus' birth?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Ikr? It's called CHRISTmas for a reason

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's why I hate when people shorten it to X-Mas.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It's shortened to that because the Greek spelling for Christian actually started with an X, or rather the letter Chi.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I read somewhere that Jesus was actually probably born in June or July instead of december, and i'm trying to remember why, but i think it was because in december it would be way too cold to give birth. so it gives christmas in july new meaning haha

Last I heard, most archaeologists think it's sometime in April.

The only reason Christmas is in mid December is because it coincides with the Winter solstice which Pagans celebrated. It has nothing to do with celebrating Jesus or his birth.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It was because the Pagans celebrated the winter solstice and because Jesus is "the light of the world". But "It has nothing to do with celebrating Jesus or his birth"? It was a date pick to do just that. Just because it's not the exact date (because we don't know the exact date) doesn't mean you still can't celebrate it.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The whole purpose of picking that date was as a means of overtaking Paganism, not to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Also, birthday celebrating comes from Paganism as well.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

But the purpose of Christmas is still to celebrates Jesus' birth, that's why there is a holiday.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Frankly, I love Christmas for what it's become, all commercial and whatnot. It's way better than the religious crap. Especially seeing as half the stuff you do on Christmas (example, putting up a Christmas tree) have nothing to do with Christianity or Jesus, and everything to do with Paganism.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Well, before Christianity people already celebrated winter celebrations which included such things as parties, gift giving and drunkenness, so it really hasn't lost its original meaning at all. The whole Feast of Nativity thing didn't get added to the mix until after Christianity was invented, so ironically celebrating that would be ignoring the *real* roots of the holiday.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Ok. I get what you're saying, but if people are going to celebrate Christmas, or say they are celebrating Christmas, they should at least remember the 'reason for the season.' If they just want to give presents, throw parties and get drunk, then they can celebrate winter. I mean seriously, it's called CHRISTmas for a reason.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't think anyone forgets the reason; they just don't really care anymore. It's become more of a holiday for family, communion, and celebration. We've become accustomed to it. Even as a atheist, I love Christmas. It's my favorite time of the year. :) I see where you're coming from, though. A lot of the time we don't acknowledge the roots of our celebrations, but it's not always a bad thing. For example, we got the concept of wedding rings from the ancient Romans, but it doesn't really hurt anymore that most people don't know that today.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I see what you're saying. And I know what you mean. :)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The original reason was to celebrate the turning point in winter when it starts to get light again.

That wasn't the original reason to celebrate Christmas. That was the original reason for a holiday at that time of year.

You don't "know" there is no God. I'd like to see you prove that there is not a God. If you ask me to prove it, I can't. You can't "know" there's not a God or if there is. Stop being so full of yourself.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Rationally 'God' cannot exist. If you think about it logically that is all the proof you need. I know 'God' isn't real, because if he was then he's made millions of mistakes and a 'God' is supposed to be incapable of making mistakes. They're also supposed to create things in perfection and there isn't anything close to perfection in this world (except for maybe Darren Criss). 'God' would also be a selfish creature and wouldn't love everyone and everything. I don't have to provide concrete proof that there is no 'God' because there is no concrete proof, which is proof enough in itself.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

How can you possibly know for sure they were "mistakes" and not done on purpose?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

If 'God' created man why would the 'God' create men or women that didn't fulfill God's vision of humanity? It seems that it is a mistake for God to create a person that God wouldn't like.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

How do you know for certain what God's vision was or that he doesn't like certain people?

Well for one, it doesn't matter what God's vision would have been because all we have are many different fictional writing pieces by men who think they spoke the word of a being that does not exist.

There's a concept of free-will. He gave us many opportunities to do many things. The Jews, Muslims, and Christians all share the same God.

You cant know there isn't a God. theres no way you can know anything. According to 'science' (yes i put it in quotes because youre being an asshole and putting God in quotes), there's no such thing as knowing something to be true. A law is just a theory that is accepted to be true. You could say you know the sky is blue, but there's no way to know that. blue could just be a figment of your imagination. What if blue is really purple? and a blind person doesnt know the sky is blue. a blind person could just say the sky is actually red. But how would they know? Do aliens exist? Why dont we have proof of those? Does the world spin in a perfect circle? Is there so such thing as a perfect circle? see, this is me making fun of you for trying to prove a point when you have absolutely no knowlege about the subject. or no way of knowing about the subject. People who do believe in God can get really offended by this.
