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!

i celebrate christmas, but we don't like, pray or anything for it. we just decorate and give presents. i also celebrate hannukah. my mom's jewish, my dad's christian, i'm agnostic and my sister doesn't know what the heck she believes in. we celebrate both to be fair to both sides of our family. my mom's side is heavily jewish, and my dad's side is christian. it's a family thing, not a religious one.

the world is heavily influenced by christmas. our school calls our winter break "christmas break". kids can't go to school and sit there while all their friends talk about christmas when they don't celebrate it. people are influenced when they're young. little johnny would go home and be like "how come i didn't get any presents for christmas?" little kids can't choose whether they're christian or not, it's whatever their parent believes until they get enough information to believe otherwise. you can't tell them they can't celebrate christmas and all their friends can - that could traumatize a small child.
