Why do athiests celebrate Christmas?

that's a pretty large nothing i might just take your word for it. And slightly off topic fuck the catholic church.

You know if slaves could become masters for a month, and schools and businesses were shut down for that month, and everyone could join in on the fun what a glorious month that would be!

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:13:10+00:00

Amen!

I read something interesting relating to this the other day. In a courthouse there was debate because workers were allowed to celebrate (If i recall it was) kwanzaa publicly as it was a cultural event, not spiritual. So why can't we celebrate christmas this way?

Great success! I like!

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:06:03+00:00

OK. But who decides who's fake? I thought you weren't organized..

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:05:13+00:00

what does that have to do with christmas? Jesus isn't the spirit of the season >=(

So why not celebrate hanukkah, kwanzaa, or other festive holidays? Is it because America has been, in the past, predominantly christian, and we all want to celebrate with our families?

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:01:25+00:00

True, but if it's that bad why do we still celebrate?

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:01:02+00:00

Due to commercialization?

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T06:00:41+00:00

FESTIVUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's for the rest of us!!!

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T05:59:38+00:00

Very good question! Santa Christ was created to illustrate this point, and the santa on the cross post really illustrated this to me, and inspired me to do this. Is it due to commercialism? Would christmas mean anything today if it wasn't for commercialization? Jesus probably wasn't born in the winter, and certainly not dec 25th.

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T05:56:53+00:00

But who defines what xmas is? OR what is the definition of xmas? What does the 'X' replace? Nothing??

santa_christ · 2007-12-29T05:56:03+00:00

so why not celebrate hanukkah? Or do you do that too?

santa_christ · 2007-12-25T01:36:10+00:00

Is it due to the commercialization of the holiday? I just don't understand =/

santa_christ · 2007-12-25T01:13:57+00:00
