So how many atheists and/or non-Jesus believers celebrate Christmas?
Without me being labeled a religious freak, it's pretty well known that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, son of God. So how many non-believers are hypocrites and celebrate this anyway?
 Christmas has become completely commercialized, but even the Santa Claus myth was created by St. Nick, yet another Christian founded thing. But when push comes to shove, Christmas is still meant to be about Jesus... and it boggles my mind how so many evolutionists/agnostics will say how God doesn't exist etc, yet turn around and celebrate Christmas and Easter.

Like 99% of all of the "christian" holidays, it was a pagan feast holiday, and the missionalries attributed the day to something in Christianity. They did this so that the local people they were trying to convert would not "loose" a holiday.
"I can't convert to christianity. Then I won't be able to celebrate huanamag!"

I do not believe in god
yet I believe in religion without religion, what would happen to our society? religion, to me, is a way of life, a guide, a path of "right" and "good" I am very greatful religion exists in society, I praise it! one of my biggest morals in life is friendship and family christmas brings both of those closer to me, I am greatful for it  in conclusion I dont know why I just wrote this but CHRISTMAS ROCKS! |

I think if god gave a crap about what we think about him he'd just tell us himself, not test us to see if we win the heaven lotto.

As for Serge's assertion that a Creator must exist because the world exists... well the non-sensical circular logic speaks for itself. By the same logic then there must be some supreme being who created our God. God+1? And then a God+2 who created our God's God... |

people celebrate valentines day and it was made up by the card companies wasn't it?
also just because you don't believe in god the way christians do , doesnt mean you can't learn about their beliefs and take something they celebrated and celebrate it in your own way. am i making sense? people started giving each other gifts to honor the birth of jesus and people that came bearing gifts right? ok so why can i say since so many people are honoring that hell, i just think of it as a good day to make sure im sharing and doing something nice for people. it feels good to have a specific day to relax and where everyone can be happy and nice every single year.  |

I celebrate Christmas and Easter because my great great grandparents were religious. My great grandparents were not but continued celebrating... and so on.
Now we just do it like every other athiest. Presents, eating food and getting together with family. Christmas to me is a gathering of family and passing of gifts that just happens to be on Dec. 25th.

We human beings have incredible imaginations. People will believe just about anything. And the more people around us who tell us something is true the more likely we are to believe it, even if there are NO real facts or data to back it up.
For example 67% of people in a recent poll believe that Bigfoot exists and is either a rare ape, prehistoric man, or the missing link. Only 20% see through the bullshit and believe Bigfoot is a myth. 94% believe in ESP. 24% believe we will be reincarnated when we die, but 36% disagree and believe we will be transported instead to "another dimension" (not heaven or hell, but someplace else). (Source: http://paranormal.about.com/library/weekly/aa083099.htm ) The moral of the story: people will believe ANYTHING, even with no evidence whatsoever. We are natural born suckers, it's in our DNA, that's how we were so audacious as to think we could fly, or go to the moon. I wouldn't give a damn about my fellow citizens' belief in God except for all the fucking wars it causes. |

Christmas is a pagan holiday. It falls in line with the winter solstice, when the days begin getting longer, hence, the celebration. It's origin has nothing to do with the birth of the man Jesus. Jesus was born about the time the crops were coming in, and since their weather patterns are much the same as ours... that would make it .. probably September. Not December, the middle of winter. Christians "gave" pagans the holiday to try to help them make the change to christianity easier. The star as well as the lights on the tree are from the pagans. The star is a pagan symbol and the lights represent the spirits. The tree represents the earth based religion. Yea. We celebrate Christmas, I like candy and food.

are christians hypocrites for celebrating christmas when originally it was a pagan celebration?
It's a stupid question, much like yours. Christmas has almost nothing to do with christ these days, primarily it's about consumerism but most importantly it's about family. There is nothing hypocritical in an atheist spending the pagan festive season with their family and celebrating the ability to gather together and enjoy each other's company, not some bible fairytale. |

christmas is a federal holliday to honor the birth of the historical figure jesus. Whether you belive hes the son of god, or just a philosopher that had good ideas (love your neighbor and so forth).
The extreme left aclu has a hissy fit with any display of christmas that has to do with the birth of this historical figure. If they have such a problem with it, why dont they work to get christmas to stop being a federal holliday. Im sure the kids will just love it when you tell them theres no christmas next year. |

I didn't state what my beliefs are any further than I believe in God AND evolution.Webster's definition of Christmas: Main Entry: Christ·mas Pronunciation: 'kris-m&s Function: noun Usage: often attributive Etymology: Middle English Christemasse, from Old English Cristes męsse, literally, Christ's mass Date: before 12th century 1 : a Christian feast on December 25 or among some Eastern Orthodox on January 7 that commemorates the birth of Christ and is usually observed as a legal holiday 2 : CHRISTMASTIDE - Christ·mas·sy or Christ·masy /-m&-sE/ adjective I guess Webster is one of my "know it best" bullshit friends
