Athiests and Christmas? (page 2)

Ex Pat Brit,

If you where really consistant then you would'nt call it Christmas, more like Winter solstis. But I suspect you really get into Christmas spirit when your singing songs about Jesus this time of year, Like Charles Westley's "Hark the Harold Sings" Set to Mendelssohn's tune. Hmmmm your singing christian tunes.... not bad for an athiest.

So go ahaed expat and sing that Handel's Messiah during this time of year and deny in a practical way and scoff Athiesm.

Christmas, the goodies you enjoy from a Christian world view.

It could be worse you could be a JW, Islam or Athiest and live in misery with no Christmas

Ho Ho Hooo Mary Christmas

Gloria in Excelsis Deo,

Yes Sirona and Aztec,

You gals are pagans and hold to some mystical deity somewhere out there in outer space where ever this deity of yours is and thus removes you from the camp of atheism which you deny. I do thank you for your Participation

Sirona

Clash - it really is refreshing to meet a fundamentalist atheist like yourself. LOL.

I actually celebrate X-mas the consumerist holiday. I'm a good little consumer and I buy my son all the presents I can afford cause he's just so damn cute.

I'm not a pagan I just play one on tv.

Merry X-mas to all!

Speaking of Christmas Donkey speaks:

I don't celebrate it. It has pagan origins.

That maybe so but to what extent is debatable. The point is that Christmas has a Christian intention and thus is full of Christian Thiesm.

Yet what puzzels me is that those athiest who deny God suspend thier futile campain against the One and Only Holy and Almighty Creator every December and get really geeked up over and cellebrate Christmans, a birth of the God/Man Jesus Christ. Athieist cellabrate the birth of a King, a Savior who on judgment day is not going to save the athiests who deny the truth of his exestance. Yet, they (these atheist) cellebrate Christmas.

Maybe sentamentalism is stronger than athiestistic dogma.

Go Raiders,

When my cousin who is a dub found out taht I'm an atheist and that I celebrate xmas she said, "If you don't believe in jesus you shouldn't celebrate Christmas." I told her that that was the nice thing about not being a dub, you don't have to look at everything in black and white. So what if I don't believe in god, I can still do the profane parts of xmas. It's hard to give up linear thinking after being a dub.

Great point Aztec,

But then they shouldnt call it Christmas, they should call it National run up your Mastercharge day..... But yet that is a by-product that has attached itself to Christmas but is not really part of the intention of Christmas.

The cool stuff you enjoy on Dec 25 comes from a world View you deny but yet invalidate your own objections to this Christian world view even worse reduce your anti Christian objections to meaninglessness and pointless drivel when you enjoy the fruits of and borrow from the very world view you deny. That is when you celebrate Christmas you demonstrate that your objections to Christian Theism are invalid and pointless by your participation in this Christmas activity fueled by the Christian World view.

BTW it is this world view that judges you.

Just a thought,

jr

Cute Sirona

clash_city_rockers,

What you just wrote is a great example of linear thinking. Have you thought about returning to be a dub?

Aztec

Okay Clash, here we go...

Very little to none of what most people celebrate on "Christmas" day are derivitaves of Christianity. From the wreaths to the trees to mistletoe to exchanging gifts: it's all pagan. Just cause someone slapped the name of Christ on it doesn't make it Christian. I call it X-mas cause it has no real spiritual meaning to me other than I get the day off with pay. Woo hoo! I tend to be cynical about it because I worked in a mall for 9 years. You celebrate what you want and I will celebrate what I want okay?

I'm actually an agnostic btw.
