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!

Holidays may have become commercial, but that doesn't mean they're any less special. I mean, aren't the delighted faces of children all around the world opening up presents on Christmas just as special, loving and joyous as the birth of Jeus Christ? Are you saying that just because people don't believe in God, they shouldn't have that great experience? Maybe the "true" meaning of Christmas is being slowly erased, but that's all part of time. When you were a little kid, did you even think of Halloween as an ancient pagan celebration? No, I didn't think so. People have to just go with the flow..

And that's all I have to say..
