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!

Geez, now I have to celebrate 'pine tree day' just because some Christians think I'm undeserving to celebrate their holidays...

hahaha...uninspiredfae i LOVE ur humor

This is so discriminating, it's not even funny anymore.

don't listen to them. who care's what other ppl think? especially if they're ppl you've never seen before



who cares if other people celebrate it the "wrong" way? i'm Christian, and i celebrate it because it's a day that was set to commemorate Jesus's birth. We still give each other presents, but that's all just the traditional/cultural part of it. i go to church on xmas eve (to celebrate his birth), but besides that, the rest of my xmas holiday is mostly traditional

for those who say that its not fair that non-Christians get to celebrate Christmas...keep crying and keep whining. if you're really that serious about it. don't put up Christmas lights, don't give/receive any gifts....don't do anything except celebrate his birth by praying/worshipping (which is perfectly fine w/ me...but i'm not one of the people who says its unfair)

the only way i'd be pissed about the Christmas issue is if they got rid of the holiday all together (kinda like how they're trying to get rid of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance). if people wanna celebrate it, let them celebrate it. but if they don't want to, then they don't have to.

i think the reason christmas and easter are festive and include presents, trees, eggs, santa, and the bunny is because parents wanted their kids to enjoy christmas/easter, so when they grew up, they could hopefully gain an understanding for what those 2 days really meant. but now, some just celebrate it because its fun, and i have no problem with that (as long as they don't make fun of the religious aspect of it)
