I don't see anything wrong with this topic though, since it is a historical fact that christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth. He's just exasperated that alot of people don't even know the reason for the season.

But have a lot of people who don't think like this.

This is a day to celebrate and do good things to the others peoples ! The majority of the people thinks that is a day to gain gifts ONLY !

Santa's ?

WTF is going on ??? A nice coca-cola-american-frodo-capitalist symbol is now the only meaning of the Christmas ??? Give us a break, it's killing us all ! Imagine... you ask to a litle child:

- "What is Christmas day ?"

And he answer:

- "Oh, it's the santa's day ! We buy a lot of things, waste our money and turn on the cars alarm !"

I'm sick of these people who don't even know what this day means. :flame:

Think very much about this guys ! This day is comming, hope you will do something useful... :cheers:

i thought it was gifts,..no j/jk
hehe but really WHAT GETS ME MAD IS WHEN PEOPLE WHO ARNT RELIGIOUS AT ALL CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS WTF~! omg they dont even know what it means :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame:

Perhaps you are the one that doesn't know what Christmas used to be about, Pauly.

If you want to say it is about Jesus... good for you... but that would be strange seeing as the same celebrations at the same time of the year were around for hundreds of years before Jesus was even born, albeit under a different name. When they started calling it Christmas and saying it was about Jesus it angered the Christians because it was still inherently a pagan holiday. So why do you now claim that Christians are the only people that are allowed to celebrate it?

I guess it's somewhat like the "N word"... it used to be used only by white people, now it is used only by black people and if anyone else uses it they get offended.

EDIT: Don't take this all as saying that I'm an atheist. I'm not really sure about the whole subject of religion... but what I do know is that the slightest variations in two religions can start a fight. Even between two groups of Christians there is much hostility. Why does it anger you so much what other people do or believe? The God described in the Bible would not be happy about what religion has done in his name.
