It's ignorant to believe the Christmas holiday is still only a fundy pastime.

Oh wait, nevermind. I'm sure Jesus really wants me to buy that rad X-TREME Super Soaker down at Walmart going on a special Christmas price reduction.

That's the most stupid thing I have ever read. If anything, you will make it like that. What you peckers are doing is like... For example, there is a WW2 veteran get together on the weekend, only veterans and their families are invited to think about the things that went on during the war. Then, some kids wearing nazi head bands come and say "Hey! Where's the food!?" and they proceed in eating all the food then leaving.

It's the same thing with any catholic holiday, you come and mock us, and because of the sixth commandment you are alive to tell people about it. Afterwards, you yell at us with phrases like "who gives a ****"

And you also tell us why it sucked.
 
There's always been a celebration at this time of year, which makes people cheer up at the lowest time of the year. (dark nights, cold etc)

And the Christians adopted this holiday as their own when Christian Theocracy came to Europe.

That analogy about the WW2 veterans is bullshit, since people aren't coming to your midnight mass at church just for free food. Noone's crashing your party. You're comparing non-Christians to Nazis. Nice one.

Get over yourself.
 
You come to midnight mass? Free food = presents, because that's all you people think Christmas is good for. And the nazi head bands in the analogy symbolize the difference of the people who fought for freedom and the people who contradicted it. That's not at all what I mean though. It's just that those people really aren't suppost to be a part of the get together are they? Especially since they are against it (people against the belief of God).

I don't care when it was "adopted" or how, or why. I just know it's ours. Do what you want, but when you start mocking me openly, I have a right to get pissed off.

EDIT: It's not because you aren't welcome, it's because you don't respect us.
 
Yes, giving each other gifts = free food. Wonderful. I'm not exactly fond of the ceremony of giving presents, but I'm not arrogant enough to claim people who give gifts are stealing food off me.
I used to goto midnight mass when I was younger, but now it doesn't hold too much meaning to me, I don't know any of the people there. I know my family and friends though and that's what's important to me.

You generalise people here as "you lot"

So if everyone here are heathens, what's the point in coming here? Did you even verify the religion of each member? All I know is, I have been sweeped up into your heathen bucket of names before I even posted, accused of "being against freedom" "being a nazi"

About people mocking you: You kicked it off by mocking/cursing people who didn't worship God.

EDIT: It's not because you aren't welcome, it's because you don't respect us.

Me? I respect everyone initially, then my judgement of them varies depending on how they treat their fellow humans. I feel that you, and a lot of Christians don't respect me though, because I give gifts to my heathen family.

Celebration at winter has existed in different cultures and before Catholicism, so please drop the notion that you might Christians birthed the concept.

And what does it matter to you what other people do on Christmas?
 
How do you pull all these things out of your ass?

I'll explain to you what all those things mean:

1. gifts/free food = the stuff you come for. You don't care about anything else.
2. you lot = the people who disrespect our traditions. Not all of hl2.net.
3. yeah I started the verbal mocking, but who provoked me? "who cares" - speak for yourself.

No, I never implied that. I don't care, I was reminding people what Christmas is for, and someone decided to say something about how not everyone believes in God. No problem, but why are you celebrating what is modernly a catholic/christian celebration if you don't believe in it? It's insulting.

Clearly a sign of your great profundity and enlightenment.

Gifts/food are not free, you pay for them like any other item. I care about my family and friends, and want to enjoy my time together with them on Christmas Day. Having a week off work is a much valued luxury for some people, why not celebrate with the family? As I said, I'm not a fan of the gift giving ceremony, but that exists in all cultures and religions.

2. you lot = the people who disrespect our traditions. Not all of hl2.net.

Where did I state or show that I disrespect your traditions?

I never said that. But someone else saying that obviously led you to generalise and show your disrespect for other people's traditions.

It's very simple. They just don't pray to the Christian god at the dinner table. There's nothing that forbids people engaging in acts similar to those Christians partake in.
 
Well... I haven't read a single word in this thread but I imagine it's a flame war, how about we just end all our differences by kissing my testicals.

Honestly, I don't want to drag this on, but you're just insulting people now. People don't need religion to have a celebration. The fact is that society now is not actually that bothered about the birth of Jesus. They're more bothered about seeing their families, having a good time and exchanging gifts. If this didn't happen at Christmas, when would it happen? It wouldn't. By saying I have no real right to do this unless I belong to a particular faith, well, frankly that's just being tight.

Especially in Western Europe, there was a long standing tradition of celebrating around December 25th, as it was the shortest days part of the year, and one of the coldest. Christmas doesn't really belong to Christianity. I can only guess that they did this so that they could stay happy during a pretty miserable time. And I suppose that follows through to today. So, if you don't mind, I'll take my one time to enjoy myself with friends and family in the year and go with it.

Be glad for what you've got, foo'.

I got socks. Do I need socks? F_ck no. Will I wear? F_ck no. But I thanked my sis' anyway.
 
After think for a bit last night I came to 2 conclusions:
I hate the PSP, it's illogical but I do. But I'll have to learn to apreciate it
I'm an idiot who always focuses on the bloody negative, even now, I'm focusing on the the negative parts of my f*cked up personality.

yep, before the Christian Theocracy the party was on winter solstice, the birth of Minthra
 
My X-Mas was fvcking awesome, so Poo-Poo on you guys :p
 
ROLF.

I had a good Christmas, despite the fact we had to take back gifts we bought to the store because due to our finacial status we couldn't afford to buy everyone we wanted gifts. So we got creative, and family members were saying our gifts were the most special to them because of the thought and input we had to put into each and everyone of them.

If you want any fullfillment from the Christmas season you'll get more out of giving than receiving... that is assuming you actually care about/love anybody in the first place. Otherwise don't waste your time giving to others, you'll still be unhappy.
 
And now my mam has sugested selling the PSP and that just makes me feel worse.
 
Tie your kangaroo down mate!

Considering your sister bought you an amazing (not to mention a expensive) present, why not just try some of the features, I currently have my PSP loaded with some anime (GITS: SAC 2nd GIG), music, and I'm gonna get some homebrewed games (Bejewelled, Hexic, etc.). Its quite amazing, though, I wonder what some people are smoking, .avi works fine on my PSP (2.50), its more compressed and has better quality then MP4.
