Comments on: My Problem With Christmas http://www.qwertysqoncepts.com/2006/12/09/my-problem-with-christmas/ thoughts so deep they're written in a diving bell Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:37:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: nottelinu http://www.qwertysqoncepts.com/2006/12/09/my-problem-with-christmas/#comment-4608 nottelinu Sun, 02 Dec 2007 06:33:54 +0000 http://www.raisemyrank.com/qq/my-problem-with-christmas/#comment-4608 nope, you still sound like an idiot. People like that are in the minority. And you to, sir, are in the minority. For someone so "opinionated" you sure let others dictate your actions. If you really truly felt as strongly as you do, you would just not celebrate it and not let others tell you otherwise. And as someone who doesn't want others to tell you how to live your life, you wouldn't do that to others either. and a big huge "whatever" to religious types "getting on their soap boxes." They won't even play religious holiday music in retail stores. that goes to show how little power the religious aspect has anymore. Sure, Churches can talk about jesus a little more freely around the holidays, but just as many people totally ignore it and preach of the generosity of the fat man flying around the world giving presents to all the little children. Get over yourself and let the holidays be. You don't have to participate, just tell people "I don't do christmas" and leave it at that. I myself would much rather be around someone who just doesn't celebrate the holidays than someone who participates but complains about it the entire time. Nobody likes a complainer. Though, I don't see why you can't just see it as some winter time with your family/friends. with presents. everyone likes presents. whats wrong with you? I know athiests, and strong athiests at that, who love christmas and tell me how much they are looking forward to christmas. Why are you so angry? Did the Jolly diabetic not bring that GI Joe you always wanted? Did finding out that fat man didn't exist effect your entire life? Like I said before, get over yourself. I stumbled upon this page by accident when I was looking for santa pictures to use on a "I'm an anti-santite" banner i was making as a joke for a message board i go to. I don't regularly read your page (and I get the feeling not a whole lot of others do either), and if anything else on this page is like this pointless rant, then I'm glad to not have wasted my braincells. nope, you still sound like an idiot.

I'm not saying that anyone is putting a gun to my head. I'm saying that people refuse to accept me excluding myself. Yes, they expect me to celebrate it, one way or another. If I don't view it as the birth of the messiah, I am expected to participate in the secular winter festival of gift giving. When I tell people I prefer not to decorate or exchange gifts, I'm accused of attacking the religious holiday and the secular celebration. And my point about it being hypocritical to bring up the true meaning of the day only refers to those who would have it both ways. I'm speaking specifically about the people who attack the commercialization of the day. They say it's a religious holiday, but if one were to draw the logical conclusion that it's therefore not a secular holiday, that's unacceptable to them. My point was that they want it both ways, and the fact that it's so commercialized only gives them the opportunity to get up on their soap boxes and remind us about the religious aspects. If it were strictly a religious holiday, then they wouldn't have the whole world listening to them. OK, last attempt. I’m not saying that anyone is putting a gun to my head.

No one can have "control" over christmas (and even if someone did, it's definitly not christians). Now it just is. It's there, it's not going anywhere, and even if they took it off the calender and made a world wide announcement denouncing christmas as a holiday, people would still celebrate it, and they would celebrate it how they want. no one expects you to celebrate it. if you don't want to, don't. No one is holding a gun to your head saying "CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS OR I'LL SHOOT!" Get over yourself. And it's not hypocritical for someone to bring up the "true meaning" if that person actually believes in the "true meaning". It's only hypocritical if that person is an atheist. because as a christian, I can definitly tell you christians don’t have “control” over it.

Now it's just a world wide holiday that exist on the calender. People choose to celebrate it, and they celebrate it how they want. Sure, it started out as a Christian holiday hundreds of years ago, but over the years people have raped it with in an inch of it's life, and now it's a holiday glorifying greed and a fat old pedofile in which retailers promote the crap out of to make enough money to last them through the year.

Please think about what you're ranting about and if it makes sense, and I mean really think about it, or don't say anything at all. You just make yourself sound like an idiot.
