White House Christmas decorations look really beautiful

[Moonglow]

It looks nice but it's not a Christian tradition...The things you see now only began in the 17-18th century..Including peppermint..Christmas used to be outlawed in England and Boston...

So, things that began 3 - 4 hundred years ago is not tradition?

For a 2000 year old religion, 300 years is a recent tradition, and all of the current Christmas traditions have pagan roots.

History says that Jesus wasn’t born in December and most historians believe he was born in the fall. The basis of this belief is that shepherds were watching their flocks at night and sheep are not pastured in December in that part of the world. Nor did the Romans conduct a census at that time of year because the roads were in poor condition in winter.

Christmas, as we celebrate it with lights, cedar boughs, Christmas trees and feasts is almost entirely based on pagan winter solstice celebrations.

It’s still my favourite time of year.

Except that we are not discussing tradition in the sense of historically. People think in much shorter terms and a significant portion of them are not going to care about when Jesus was born. Why? Because when he was born in relation to the calendar means nothing. It is that we celebrate his birth and have chosen to do so on December 25th.

So change the German christmas pagan tree's name...Along with the lights and separate fact from fiction...Same with Santa, parents should make a habit of lying to children about Santa, or the Easter bunny....

Why? It is what it is and people are going to continue it, regardless of the agenda of anti religious people.

If you want to have pagan symbolism mixed with Christianity God will have a problem with that...

Forgive Me if I don't just take your word for it.

I was referring to Donald Trump who was arrested for housing discrimination, involved in over 3000 laws suits, was involved in 7 business bankruptcies and bragged about the money he made going bankrupt, who admitted to sexually assaulting women.

His personal charity was issued a cease and desist order for illegal fundraising, fined by the IRS for making illegal political campaign contributions, and is currently under investigation by the State of New York.

I can even find a rumour that BO sold drugs so I’m assuming that’s a lie you made up.

You're not looking hard enough.

And by the way: Donald J. Trump is your President. Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will never ever be the President of the United States.

Get used to it.

Donald Trump is not my President, and never will be. I am not and will never be an American.

Justin Trudeau is my Prime Minister.

How about this: You butt out when it has something to do with my great country, and my Magnificent Bastard of a President Donald J. Trump, and I won't say anything bad about your socialist POS Trudeau, and the fact that you stole Canada from the Brits, the French, and the Indians. Deal?

Although I will say one good thing about you Hosers: Your military is good at killing Nazis and shithead Muslim terrorists.

No deal. You elected the POS, we get to deal with the consequences of your folly.

You will have consequences. Because Our Magnificent Orange SOB is the greatest President this country has ever had, we will allow some of that greatness to trickle up to you Hosers. Because when America does great, the rest of the world does great

As usual you’re picking up the peanuts while being trampled by the elephants.

No jobs are coming back. The tax cuts will leave Middle and working class voters worse off, millions are losing their health insurance, and polluters have free rein to destroy your air and water.

The border jumpers are puppy shit compared to the real horrors about to befall idiots like you who voted for him.

Quit quoting badly-written bumper stickers. Have you seen how our unemployment numbers are dropping? Our record stock market? Our greatly increasing economic growth numbers? Our unemployment is now at the lowest point in almost 20 years. Food stamp usage is dropping like crazy. Illegals border crossing are down 80%, there might not even be a need to build a wall.

Millions lost their health care under Obama, or their premiums went through the roof. With our new economic greatness, millions more will be able to afford real health care, not some crappy insurance scam like Obamacare, which doesn't offer much.

Once Trump's tax reform kicks in, you're going to see just how great a country America is.

Oh honey, the jobs are already here.

People are dropping off foodstamps like crazy, too. Because their INCOME IS INCREASING AS THEY RETURN TO WORK. (Cuz they're working..in case you missed it).

Food stamp rolls plummet in states that restore work requirements

It's just a picture, moon. It's a bigger deal to atheists than it is to Christians. We understand that it's AOK.

It must really suck for the Canadians. I mean, how many times can you redefine "mediocrity"?

Maybe they'll take a clue from our Great President and elect one of their own some day. Or maybe not.

Nobody does Christmas better than we atheists.

"Santa is the reason for the season"

 

[cnelsen]

White Christmas is back to White House. How nice...

It has not a damn thing to do with Christ or Christmas...It was indoctrinated to increase consumerism..

Who cares? I like Christmas. I like Christmas carols. I like Christmas decorations. I like the Christmas spirit. I like everything about Christmas except that one song about Grandma getting run over by reindeer.

 

[cnelsen]

Nobody does Christmas better than we atheists.

"Santa is the reason for the season"

Santa is just Satan spelled backwards. Then put the "S" up front. Then switch the "a" and the "n" around.

 

[cnelsen]

It is so refreshing to have that low-life ghetto trash out of the White House this year. Maybe we'll have a real Christmas this year, instead of that politically-correct BS we had to put up with for 8 years.

Rahm Emanuel?

If you are into pagan traditions I suppose so...

I don't consider the nativity scene in the video to be pagan.Why do you?

A Nativity Scene - how ironic. They’ve put up a scene depicting a young Middle Eastern couple having their baby unassisted in a stable because no one would give them shelter or assistance.

Do you even know the difference between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam?

When you say "Middle Eastern" couple, you're referring to Muslims, right? Did Islam give us a savior? Did Muhammad heal the sick, raise the dead, walk on the water, or feed a hungry crowd with literally nothing?

Did Muhammad die crucified on a cross, only the be resurrected? Does Muhammad save the lowly sinner, the drug addicts, whores, thieves, and destitute?

Not hardly. Last I heard, many of those who convert to Islam try to murder anyone who doesn't believe what they do. Tell me this: When was the last time you heard about a Christian killing women and children in a school, with a suicide vest? Or running over scores of people with a truck? Or decapitating scores of people at once, or burning them alive?

Get back to me when you have an answer.

No one mentioned Muslims who didn’t even exist when Jesus was born.

"No one mentioned Muslims who didn’t even exist when Jesus was born."

Neither did Americans. Or trannies.
