X-Mas is a fake pagan holiday created by equally pagan men

[sitarro]

As a member of the Church of Christ I don't celebrate Christmas since it is essentially a made up holiday in place of a pagan holiday, but I don't knock anyone that does.

Yet you felt the need to start a thread calling it "fake"

Fugg off douchenozzle

It is fake, no one knows when Christ was born and Christmas only became a holiday in the 4the century A.D. If people are going to celebrate something at least know what the hell you're celebrating and not be blind lemmings who follow tradition over truth.

Funny you should say that since that's what half of the country did in 2008........ they blindly followed a fake that nobody knew the truth about and amazingly many still do...... just like lemmings.

Speaking of bullshit holidays, could you give us a history lesson on Kwanzaa...... I've heard it's a holiday that only elite black people celebrate by stabbing each other over a pair of sneakers....is that the jist of it?

Come on. A story about a guy wearing a suit, flying through the air delivering presents to little girls and boys everywhere is THE best of all time. Deal.

i never believed that BS even as a kid, I was raised in a family that told the truth.

That explains it then. You're jealous.

awesome and wise

Here is a wonderful site to give better detail about a few things. Ask mainstream what a pagan is and sometimes 'we' don't get the answer 'we' most hope for. Paganism

Paganism – What is It?
Paganism has been broadly defined as anyone involved in any religious act, practice, or ceremony which is not Christian. Jews and Muslims also use the term to refer to anyone outside their religion. Others define it as religions outside of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while some simply define it as being without a religion.

In the strictest sense, paganism refers to the authentic religions of ancient Greece and Rome as well as surrounding areas. It originated from the Neolithic (Stone Age) era. The term, pagan, is derived from the Latin word, paganus, which means a country dweller. The pagan usually has a belief in many gods (polytheistic), but only one is chosen as the one to worship which represents the chief god and supreme godhead.

As Christianity progressed into the present age, a pagan became referred to anyone not being a Christian, and paganism denoted a non-Christian belief or religion. If the religion did not fit into the Judeo-Christian-Islamic or Eastern mould, then one practicing that religion was said to be involved in paganism.

Paganism – What is the history?
History records that worship of many gods, goddesses, and deities was viewed by people as important in worship. It was thought that everything had a spirit and was polytheistic, so people had gods and goddesses of the forest, sea, and all aspects of nature.

When the civilizations began to change and develop, the gods grew and changed with the people as they began to acquire gods of their occupations, or gods relevant to their village life. The old gods remained, but were changed or conformed to the changing lives of the people. Gods played an important role in every aspect of society influencing everything from laws and customs to general workings of the community. Reincarnation (rebirth of the body into another bodily form) was believed by the people, but they did not believe in the existence of heaven and hell.

Today, Paganism (neo-paganism) celebrates the Earth, living creatures, nature, and so on. Most modern-day pagans believe in more than one god, while others are atheistic.

Paganism – How does it compare with Christianity?
It is difficult to compare paganism with Christianity since the term pagan can be used to identify many different sects and beliefs.

These are the major differences, out of many:

• Biblical Christianity professes one God, where paganism often teaches many or no god.
• Biblical Christianity teaches that the Bible contains God’s words and message to mankind. It is infallible and inerrant. Paganism does not have one main religious text or set of beliefs to follow.
• Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus, God’s Son, came to earth as a baby, died on the cross as an adult for the sin of the whole world, and rose to life again. Some pagans believe in Jesus as one of the gods, but do not put significance in Him as Christians do.

Due to these differences and many more, a person cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ (a Christian) and a pagan at the same time.

While I, too, am Christian... There are many pagan things that make perfect sense to me and I respect too much to condemn or to be intolerant of. I expect, however, that no matter my labels, my spiritual depths of choosing also be respected.

Why does that bother you so much? I live in America where I can celebrate what I want how I want. Why is that anything to YOU?

It doesn't bother me number one and two and never said people shouldn't celebrate it, people can celebrate taking a dump if they want, the question is whether people know what they're celebrating and what has been taught about Christmas being Jesus birthday is a lie, a myth, but if you get enough people believing it then it becomes like truth.

I guess it's similar to the liberal media telling us everyday what a great President we have..

I guess it's like that huh?

Like I gives a damn about your punk neg, lol, the truth is on my side, you threw the first insult at me, punk.

How Christ-like of you!

Merry Christmas!

celebrating X-mas isn't going to get people to heaven.

Please post where anyone said it would.

The UPS guy brought mine. And there's not a damn thing he can do about that either!

The FedEx guy dropped off another one as I was reading your post. Woo hoo!

God gave me my gift, my triplet daughters, no fake St Nick could ever do that.

Well you never know. Supposedly Santa has no children because he only comes once a year and that's down the chimney. But maybe, just maybe, one year he found your wife particularly attractive!
