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!

Really, people at my school badmouth God and Jesus, as if they were criminals. Why hate people who have (in the bible) done so much good? Just because one thinks they are made up doesn't justify their contempt for God. If they must hate someone, hate the false prophets and the ones who give incorrect information (like the people who exploited christianity to make money or the sex offenders). Just don't hate everyone who follows a particular religion.

my contempt for god and jesus stems not directly from them. it stems from:

1. the fact that nonchristians are viewed as inferior by them and the bible
2. a non christian has no changce of geting into heaven in the bible
3. people touting jesus and shoving it in people's faces.

don't get me wrong, i do not hate all christians. my two best friends are devout catholics. i just hate christains who think nonchristians are inferior, etc.

and no, although i hvae not read the bible, i do know more about christianity than some 'christains'.
