I bet somewhere some internet-atheist or non-christian is actually finding this funny. Personally i hate christmas and i happen to believe very much in Jesus and couldn’t give two fucks about sears or shop-rite not using the word christmas. I think those people should be more pissed off about the pagan traditions being passed off as christian traditions. It would be like celebrating richard dawkins birthday by dressing up in burqas and reciting prayers from the vedas.
Look I am non-religious. Christians can have their holidays, but their are more holidays going on during this season then fucking Christmas and Christians should be open enough to realize this fact. But instead some take it as a time to play holier than thou with their religion. The real meaning of christmas is cool and all without the capitalism crap indeed.
It all boils down to semantics, really. Where we live, “Christmas” is more defined by commercialization and melting-pot cherrypicked traditions than it is by the Christian version of the holiday.
That commercialized product of a holiday is very different from Christmas, and yet it has the same name. The trouble is that people can’t figure out which definition they’re arguing over most of the time.
It’s kind of like gay marriage. One side is fighting to keep a religious term’s definition in it’s purest form, one is fighting to keep a legal term’s protection from discriminating against anyone. Semantics wastes a shitload of time and energy.
You’re both right, but why isolate eachother? For the sake of just taking a holiday — enjoy the company of others, feast, and thank whoever you want to (or no one at all and just be content) for the fact you have the option to do either.
I’m an atheist and I love the holidays! I don’t care if you call if you call it Christmas or Saturnalia. One month out the year that I couldn’t care less if there’s a cross on the hill or a nativity in front of the courthouse, as long as I have my Christmas sweaters, gingerbread and eggnog. Peace on Earth and goodwill to men!
^^^THIS^^^^
now, put up some fucking twinkle lights, eat some fucking cookies, make a snow angel if you have snow, be nice to everyone you meet and…SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.
If history teaches us anything, it’s that the FOX crew will be too busy ranting about whatever their insecurities are telling them to find justifications to be biased against to come any closer to Decemberween than our televisions, which have glorious buttons such as “Power” “Channel” and “Mute.”
But I’d only recommend that last one if you’re going to put on some rap. Energetic, emotional people like televangelists and Bill O’Reilly are indescribably funny set to rap.
I watch all the time, especially Gretchen Carlson – she’s hilarious. Somebody called her an “ignoramus” once, and she didn’t even know what it was – she had to look it up.
One of my favorite moments in television was when Glenn Beck said the peace Corps was “Just like the SS”. His Nazi rants are the best.
Then there was the part when they said the “Terror Mosque” funding was shady and probably from a terrorist organization, only to find the biggest contributor is also a major shareholder in Fox News!
Faux news is the best sitcom on television right now.
You’d prolly lose that bet. Most liberals I know do watch FOX and check out Drudge; we like to keep an eye on things. Mostly though, liberals are looking for a way to try to understand the conservative ideology.
The problem I’ve run into debating an avid FOX e=watcher is that anything negative, that I say, just confirms the paranoid bbubble they seem to walk around in. How do you argue w/ that?
While there are other religious holidays in December, Christmas is the only one that pays double to work on so, thus, is the only one I give a fuck about in the grand scheme of things.
When the other ones start paying double I’ll learn what days they’re on.
I love Christmas, an Athiest I am….
The “War” on Christmas is fabricated. period.
The same poeple who bitch about it are the ones that are in charge of the events anyways, so for the love of whatever you believe in, ignore these fools and have a Merry Christmas !

“be nice to everyone you meet”
oh, except for Bill O’Reilly.
…And the rest of the Fox News Crew.

It’s more about “whatever insecurities the right wingers have that they can exploit to get ratings”
I bet none of you have ever even watched Fox News. You’re propbably basing your whole argument off of what others have said. lol.
I watch all the time, especially Gretchen Carlson – she’s hilarious. Somebody called her an “ignoramus” once, and she didn’t even know what it was – she had to look it up.

Actually I watch Fox News (as long as I can stand it) occasionally just see what BS is in the spin cycle.
I’ve watched it.
It disturbs me slightly more than the other ridiculous news channels.
You’d prolly lose that bet. Most liberals I know do watch FOX and check out Drudge; we like to keep an eye on things. Mostly though, liberals are looking for a way to try to understand the conservative ideology.

You beat me to posting something about Saturnalia.
You win this round…

Greed – the true spirit of the season
it’s Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see the Christians are continuing the longstanding tradition of promoting their religion by threatening people’s lives –
Tomás de Torquemada would be so proud
Torquemada – do not beg him for mercy.
Torquemada – do not ask him for forgiveness.
Let’s face it – you can’t Torquemada anything!
