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! |

mm well christmas was orginally a pagan holiday...the birthdate of the sun god mithras. jesus' real birthday was during the springtime. and easter symbols such as eggs and bunnies were all part of pagan religions. but yea, in the context of the spiritual and celebratory part, i dont feel its right for non-christians to "celebrate". heck, they can give each other as many gifts as they want for no reason just as long as they dont claim to be doing in "the christmas spirit" or the "easter holiday"
