the 25th of december was choosen from the pagans, we celebrate the winter solstice on the 21st or 22nd of december. the “christmas” tree is a pagan tradition to ward of evil demons from plauging your house during the winter months. a “yule” log is constructed on the yule holiday by, you guessed it, pagans. so i come to the conclusion that christians stole our traditions and are hypocrits for celebrating a pagan holiday in disguise.

As far as I know, most Christians don’t believe that Christ was born on the 25th, but they still celebrate his birthday. The choice of day is arbitrary yet traditional. Think about it, if you just find a young child floating around after a tragedy with no parents or records, you’d still celebrate his/her (unknown) birthday, but on an arbitrary day (possibly the day of the year when you found him/her). That’s how I think of it anyway…

OY!! For the record, I’m not terribly offended. Actually, I’m not offended at all, just mildly twitchy about pseudo mockery-isms this time of year. Silly me, I know.

Dave loves you Chris, no one else will…

Ben, look over there! See that? See it? That was the point! Aaaand you missed it!

There was no insinuation at all above that Christianity is defined by Christmas, it was merely mocking the belief that Jesus was born on Dec. 25 and that this is why we should celebrate Christmas (and it’s not like just a few people believe that; hop on down to the elementary school as see how many are being taught that by their parents). Nothing more was intended. And of course, it was to try an’ convert a few people to Davidians. *shrugs* Shameless, I know…

And must I always sound mean? Dude, look at the title of the site. I know I’ve told you before that, well, that’s mostly the reason I run this place: Venting. But take solace in the fact that this is the 2nd update in two months, so if nothing else, I’m less frequently mean.

Christa, you have a talent for sounding like you don’t know what you are talking about. A gift, you might say, nurtured by hand for many a year. Dummy.

Chris… you make some good points, as always, but damn dude, must ye always sound so mean? Satire, amigo? Or just cynicism? Not all Christians find holidays to be the defining light of Christianity, it’s mostly those excessively loud mooks that the media portrays that give justification to your vehement rants. Ah, where would America be without people to misrepresent us? Oh woe are we, steeped in misery, through all eternity, ’cause of the stupid Christmas tree… oh golly gee, for such a slight fee, you can be like me… free.

Freestyle!

Merry Christmas
