Atheists shouldn't celebrate Christmas

Source of what?

The one where there is disagreement about whether jesus was born in spring, summer, or fall.

[Pujols_Teh_Destroyer]

Well there is a good amount of historical evidence that he did exist. Do I think he was the son of any god? Hell no, just saying....

And exactly, it's stupid and hypocritical for Christians to oppose anyone celebrating Christmas.

Really? Please do elaborate if you can. I'd love to see evidence of his chillaxing in the old world. I'd search myself, but frankly, I'm tired, lazy and couldn't give a fuck at the moment.

Wouldn't you want more people celebrating your holiday, keeping it popular?

there is more evidence that support existence of man named Jesus than most of other important historical figures. only thing up to debate is if he is son of god or not.
and mind you same thing is said by secular scholars and scientist so its not some religious biased thing.

[Remnants]

Some atheists enjoy the season and its meaning, while not necessarily believing that Christmas is Jesus's birthday. I don't believe in all that hooey, but I really enjoy Christmas because it's just a happy time of year. Is there anything wrong with that? I don't think so. Plus, the way it's celebrated nowadays has very little to do with Jesus anyway, so claiming that atheists shouldn't be able to take part in a celebration because of their beliefs is stupid.

That's not what they asked.

I'm torn to be honest.

I celebrate Christmas so my father won't find out I'm an Agnostic.

And for the presents. So to answer your question, yes. It's very commercial.

[DeathBoat]

Christmas is supposed to be a religious day why should they celebrate it when they don't even believe..
Do you think people have forgotten because christmas has become very commercial now?

You sound as if someone just took a piss in your cheerios and a dump in your new shoes.

Yes it originated from a certain religion but people celebrate it for various reasons, other than the one you celebrate it for. I celebrate it because it's a time for family members to gather and just be happy, and ignore the shit that may occur in the other 364 days. The present and food is a way to achieve this, although I'll agree with you that it's become more commercialized.

Christmas actually meaning "Christ's mass," I wish non-Catholics would come up with a new name for the holiday. Y'all don't even go to mass on the day you celebrate Christ's mass.

wtf

who has time to go to mass when you have PRESENTS!?

[RAM3N-N00DL3S]

What people actually forget is that Jesus, or whatever other false prophet the Christians basically forged from another faith, doesn't really have a shard of evidence proving his existence. That being said, this isn't a religious debate, so no need to start a fire.

Fyi what the fuck are you talkig about? Sure Jesus may not have been this messiah nonsense but there is solid evidence he existed. Maybe you should learn what the fuck you're talking about before posting next time


Anyhow, the beauty of being an atheist is religion has no impact so if you want to celebrate Christmas, DOIT
It's no worse than the Christians who cast aside the true meaning of Christmas. No matter what the religion is, most people don't give a fuck

I'm falling for you!

[YahooSeriousFestival]

I disagree. Christmas is both secular and religious. An atheist can celebrate the secular aspect of Christmas.

[The_Green-Goblin]

If you piss me off I just might start celebrating easter too..

[Scarlet-]

My boyfriend is an atheist and he celebrates Christmas. For me Christmas is more about spending time with the people I care about rather than religion.

Dude, Christmas coincides with the Pagan mid-winter festival. Pagans decorate trees too and have feasts. This was taken and mashed together, so technically, they can celebrate. They can if they want to. -.-

That's what they all say. New material plz
