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'm sure there were presents before that.

we will complain that you stole someone's holiday and now won't give it back.

celebrate jesus's birth in september, please, if you don't want non-christians celebrating christmas.

How would there be Christmas presents before that if that if those presents were given on Christmas, starting the tradition of the Christmas gift.


I think we should celebrate Christmas in September. But, then people would still celebrate Christmas on the 25 and call it Christmas................ Maybe December 25 should be called Presentmas? Or Giftmas??

if this is true and he loves everyone equally, then when everyone is dead wouldnt god and jesus let everyone comeup and party wit them? so why is there a hell, i dont think your gonna let somoone you"love" go to tthe flames that burn but doesnot consume.

I dont hate the people, i just hate the religion, i dont understand the fact taht supposedly if god is everywehre then why do you have to go to this church every sunday and listen to someguy that looks like dracula tell you wut you must belive in..... YOUR HUMANS!!!... belive in wut you wanna belive, personally i choose no religion.... spirituality is key

But if you reject God and don't belive in him why would you even want to go "party with him"?

God is everywhere. The church is his 'house". You go to church to be closer with God and to have fellowship with other Christians.

So are you bothered with people using the now seemingly patented term "Christmas" instead of Winter Holidays because that's what I am feeling. It seems that while people want to spread the word and love of Christ, they also want the love of Christ to be exclusive. Meaning, only Christians are allowed to say Christmas... If that's the case, then blame the Pope for choosing Christmas to be on December 25th

Christians are not bothered because they don't want to share Jesus or anything... The idea is that people are taking a religious holiday and shoving the religious part out of the window. Then, using it as a secular holdiday and a reason to accept and accumulate mountains of physical possessions insted of just accepting Jesus.

I think that's the point, not that we want the holiday to ourselves.
