Why do Atheists celebrate Christmas?

[bcp]

Yes I am. I'm saying it shouldn't matter to you what the holiday is called. You can celebrate Christmas on July 1st if you want. You're getting upset over petty stuff like the name of the day.

its not petty.
its what the day has been for hundreds of years, the desire to change it to holiday from Christmas is an attempt at taking the christian aspect out of it.
If the name was the only thing in question, one could say that the atheists are being petty over the name.

Yeah, that's what it is. Petty. Soo petty that christians have been calling the holiday christmas for a few hundred years.

 

[PsyOps]

Well, perhaps people wanted to have a parade that celebrated ALL of the holidays. :gasp:

And what ALL holidays would these be?

I personally don't care what it's called. I still celebrate it. I think it's petty to worry about the name. :shrug:

 

[Cowgirl]

And what ALL holidays would these be?

Well, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Petezaa....

 

[jetmonkey]

Really? I know one jew. He doesn't celebrate christmas. I knew a jewish family in Iceland...they didn't celebrate xmas, either. They did exchange gifts, though. Is a gift exchange part of hanakuh?

My Jews put up trees and everything. They think Hanukkah is gay, lols.

 

[jetmonkey]

Of course by ####load I mean one family because frankly I don't have that many friends.

 

[bcp]

Well, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Petezaa....

oh come on now.
you know Kwanzaa is made up, not at all in the class with the others.

 

[mAlice]

I know you hard core christians don't care, but here's a link you can start with. You would then need to verify the information by doing your own research, but I find it very unlikely you'll step out of your bubble to do it.

Ok, well, Hannukah and Petezaa and Christmas. Oh, and Festivus.

 

[bcp]

I forgot about Festivus too, its only natural, Seinfeld has been off air for a while now.

[Pete]

Festivus is a sham

 

[bcp]

Festivus is a sham

but it was mentioned on tv, it has to be real

 

[mAlice]

its already been mentioned

...and promptly brushed aside.

 

[puggymom]

Ok, well, Hannukah and Petezaa and Christmas. Oh, and Festivus.

...

 

[Cowgirl]

Festivus is a sham

No it's not. It even has a pole. AND, it came before Petezaa.

 

[bcp]

...and promptly brushed aside.

not brushed aside, but put in its historical place.

 

[bcp]

No it's not. It even has a pole. AND, it came before Petezaa.

coming first does not always make it more correct.
come on, you claim science as your faith, you should know this
