An assortment of my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and poor attempts at humor, all rolled into one easily digestable package.

Odie: Kudos to you, as well, and I whole-heartedly agree with the sentiment. And I conquer with Depp too!
Loke: Stop trying to make everything about you and Depp.Posted 12-07-2009 at 10:51 PM by interesting -

I Don't Like Christmas
By 'another whole can of worms', I didn't intend to mean to have a holy war here, I just meant that religion would end up being more fuel for my rant. But after reading all these comments, I have some things to point out, some very similar to those above. And while I don't want to exclude anyone due to religion, it is a part of this holiday.
>We don't know when Christ was born. Not a clue. The best estimates are actually in early September. December was chosen just for the fun of it, a 'why not' decision. How can you support a 'why not' based holiday?
>Yes it is good to remember the day God gave us Jesus the Christ. He gave the ultimate gift, so we show his love through buying gifts for others. While we can do it extra on this day, we are called to show his love daily. It would hypocritical then to 'turn on and off' love like a light.
>The 'old men' are actually wise men or sages. Everyone assumes that they were there right when Jesus was born from the thousands of nativity scenes out there. Actually, Jesus was over three years old when they showed up. Just an example of how this holiday skews religion.
People assume that this holiday, Christmas is perfect becauuse it is religous based. Once you see the faults in that, then yoou can see the how we humans have screwed it up.

Surely it being true would make it even more reasonable for him to say it? If jesus has never been born then the whole of the new testament is less factual than a Dan Brown novel... re-written to include characters from Harry Potter... set in Middle Earth (ok, maybe more factual than that... but not by much)Posted 12-07-2009 at 11:38 AM by Jacques -

It was indeed of Pagan origin- the feast of the son of Isis.
As an aside- there is NO evidence that jesus was born on December 25th, and he was according to historical record about two years old when the three Magi visited.Posted 12-06-2009 at 03:23 PM by Jacques -

Quote:Christmas is and never really has been about somerandom kid getting born in a barn. Its always been a festival one way or the other, Christians just did their usual thing of barging in and trying to take over, luckily Coke saved us from them!
I love Christmas/Xmas/Cokesmas/Drinkandeatyourselfsillysmas I HATE December. I HATE getting asked ooo have you done your christmas shopping yet (in the first 2 weeks of December) I HATE the stress people put themselves under for Christmas I HATE constantly being hit in the face by OMG CHRISTMAS IS COMING etc etc.
What other culture spends 5 or 6 weeks preparing for a 3 day festival that is celebrated in small groups within the home?Posted 12-06-2009 at 11:32 AM by Night-1991 -

I doubt everyone gives gifts because of that as I've never even heard of your vague description of why gifts are given.Posted 12-06-2009 at 10:23 AM by Trixie -

That isn't the only reason people give gifts, it's the only reason religious people give gifts.Posted 12-06-2009 at 09:31 AM by Trixie
