you can't have it both ways! Options

is it fair that non-christians celebrate christmas with presents and christmas trees? i can't stand it when people openly say how they hate religion and christianity, then come christmas time, they brag about their christmas presents. that goes for easter too. people openly reject jesus christ's resurrection but they celebrate easter. and to add insult to injury, they completely change the meaning by having egghunts and bunnies.

-edit- uh yeah. you can't have it both ways! either become a christian and partake in our holidays, or stay an atheist/agnostic and don't celebrate our holidays, and don't change our holidays either!

to me, christmas is a time for caring, a time for people to be nice.
it is not a religious holiday.

i know christians who don't get christmas presents, they are the ones truely celebrating christmas.

i celebrate the ideal of giving that christmas embodies.

and i am not christian.

and yet i celebrate christmas. not christmas the birth of jesus,
but christmas the season of giving.

same thing, i used to celebrate easter with a nice easter egg hunt, cus it was fun.

and if you're sticking with your argument, then you shouldn't celebrate valentine's day, because although valentine was a saint, the holiday is pagan.
