Do I understand you correctly? Palatine Send a noteboard - 24/12/2010 05:17:03 PM
Of course that's not Christmas at all, and of course I don't approve. It's not a flaw in Christmas itself, and in that respect I'm with Palatine, but saying that you hate all the non, or rather, un-Christian material things now associated with Christmas is one thing, and saying that you're merely apathetic about the rest is quite another. That really is washing your hands of Christmas entirely, which I understood to be his intent, and I can't really endorse that either.


You can't endorse atheism? If so, I get that. If you're saying atheism is somehow wrong during this time of year, I don't get that.

And actually, my intent is more precisely that we shouldn't need holidays to remind us to be good. I understand that we do and probably always will, but we shouldn't, in my opinion.

What, you'd rather it remained a Bronze Age pagan fertility rite? Joel - 27/12/2010 11:17:09 PM 382 Views
That's kinda funny because Christ wasn't born in December. Good one! *NM* Dark Knight - 23/12/2010 01:53:37 AM 187 Views
