the anti-christmas thread

knox · 12.21.2009, 04:50 PM

I keep getting christmas cards addressed to to other people.
Perhaps the postman is dyslexic, its only the order of the numbers.
I dont know if I should find them and give them this shit, or just destroy them as an act of kindness.

Hang out with the family.

Also 'no' to the Jesus stuff.

pbradley · 12.21.2009, 06:42 PM

I'll be going to Christmas mass.

I haven't visited my parents' church in so long and I should make appearances as a social thing. I hope the sermon isn't shit but it probably it will be.

terrible. I'm nice enough that I feel bad for guy who bought it, but too cheap to not feel ripped off.

I doubt that he has a lot of money and had it been a present "from" him instead of "the cheapest crap he could buy and still receive a gift", I would have been politely thankful.

instead, I say (loudly, because I'm loud) "OH GREAT. a 40 of Ol' E. I doubt that my wife will even drink this crap". he waved and said that he "hoped I enjoyed it".

ffs fml etc

when's Kwanzaa? I'm regifting.

Jesus wasn't born in December. The church stole the Winter Solstice from pagans to get them to convert to Christianity.

I'm not saying Jesus didn't exist or that he didn't do good things, but I don't believe he was the "savior" of mankind, Mary had him without Joseph fucking her, or that he could've been born in a barn in the winter.

The Bible was written by people with little to no understanding of the world around them, and has been re-written so many times to fit the winners' idea of history that it cannot be relied upon as a source of information.

ni'k · 12.21.2009, 07:23 PM

i wish christmas on my enemies, the food the family and the television.

They understood how to write persuasive and pervasive literature. And the Bible's not been massively revised in getting on 1200 years. It has, however, been pared down considerably.

'Pagans' don't exist. It was a by-word for non-Christians, same as barbarians in ancient Greek. The recent (20th-century) reconstruction of 'paganism' shouldn't be confused with the older Christian use of the word 'pagan' which referred to possibly hundreds or thousands of folk religions (including Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Valentinian gnosticism).

The 'Winter solstice' consolidation is right, but it's not clear if it was a religious festival (like Ramadan) or just a festival (like the Saturnalia).

Sorry, just wanted to pick holes unnecessarily. I'm going back to my hole.

jon boy · 12.21.2009, 07:40 PM

Glice · 12.21.2009, 07:42 PM
