Taking the Christ Out of Christmas

[skatingmusic3]

xmas works too haha

[angelinemartin313]

great video

[rationalwarrior]

Great video! They're so self centered with this "war on Christmas" crap.

[lsynno]

You do realise the mas is short for mass as in a session of worship

[jboritzki]

Of all the things to cry about tax dollars being spent on, you pick plastic figurines on lawns.... Actually I think it's more of a case of wanting to offend people for the sake of being offensive.

[smashbeans]

damn pagans.makes me wonder why we dont celebrate the day of pentacost! we as christians have our own holy days.makes me wonder;am i the only christian to read the bible?

[valu777]

Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, fulfills Old Testament prophecy. The Lamb of God recalls the Passover Lamb, whose blood was sprinkled on the houses of the Israelites to protect them during the Exodus from Egypt (Exodus 12). The Messiah as the suffering servant will give his life as an offering for sin (Isaiah 53). The Lamb anticipates the victorious Lamb of the Apocalypse (Revelation 5-7).

[beautyqueen620]

People have the right to express their beliefs. so if someone wants to say Merry CHRISTmas then let them do it. That's where we got this whole thing in the first place, is because Jesus was born.

[butchkitties]

The extra hilarious thing about the so-called war on Christmas: the only time Christmas celebrations have ever been banned on this continent, it was banned BY CHRISTIANS (the Puritans) for being an unholy pagan holiday.

[davemelnick]

Oh...yea...I nearly forgot about FauxNew's usual annual 2 month long rant on The "X-MAS War". I'm sure Beck & friends are licking thier chops now. At least, Jon Stewart & Colbert will have plenty of ammo fr/ this eh. ;)

[popeyroach]

similar thing to xmas but with more consciousness raising power. i likes it

[Nibielari]

kick the baby

happy fesitvus day

[qYnBzWFc]

LOL

-- Love, Jonny Angel

[EliteAmericans]

My video reply explains why its a bad idea to take christ out of christmas.

[mikevalla]

Dude, make Baby Christ football happen, and I guarantee even the Christians would pay big money to see that shit.

[PirateNaziZombie]

You know, it really is silly how so many people forget what Christmas is about. I mean, CHRIST! It's in the name! It's originally supposed to be about the birth of Jesus, but now it's a time for people to go out and buy gifts for somebody. And if you're poor? FUCK YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

[MyOldName]

@PirateNaziZombie

I didn't even have to facepalm after this comment - my forehead reflexively formed a red handprint.

[OGjimbo]

@MyOldName lol

[PirateNaziZombie]

@MyOldName SUCCESS! Although I was hoping your forehead would have caved in.

[spinnersmetal]

I just tell people "merry christmas enjoy your pagan rituals"

[garydupuis]

You just earned yourself a new subscriber, bro! It annoys the living piss out of me whenever I see the signs up that say "Keep Christ in Christmas" when the fact of fucking matter is, is that it was originally a Pagan holiday called Yule. Now, I'm not religious but I do know a thing or two about religious history. Peace and Love, brother!

[phillozoph50]

Happy Santa Days!He's one doing hard work during this period of year,and getting not enough credit for it.What has Jesus done?Was born,fucked up few jews and died.Is that something I couln't do myself?No:)Santa is my man!!!

[breadwinnner]

Merry commercial profit-making scheme in the guise of a holiday.

[CyberNeticRodent]

i never associate Jesus with christmas, i still call it christmas because i did as a child and even then i was never into the religious side of it... just the gifts, the meal, the parties, the family, the warmth, the colours and fat old father christmas.

it was a magical time for me as a kid and religion had nothing to do with it.

you wont change peoples minds by campagn, you will only phase it out by raising your kids in a different tradition......and so on.

[Florence00pi]

lol I am glad we don't have that problem in Germany, because the German term for Christmas (Weihnachten, something like a holy night) does not contain any reference to Christ and Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas are used synonymously over here ... The equivalent to merry Christmas would be happy holy night here

[8DX]

I don't get it.. it's Christmas. Who cares if people don't believe in Christ any more. I'm not offended by people having Hanuka or Ramadan (although I find the last one really stupid) and if I was gonna celebrate these with someone I'd definitely not care what it's called.

The main annoyance is that people get so pissed of and stuck up about it in the US I guess.

[PluralOfEverything]

I've been referring to it as xmas and consumerfest for years. Christ was taken out of christmas when they started spelling it xmas or x-mas. It's an old idea.

[8DX]

The X in x-mas is representative of Christ. It's an old Christian shorthand for Christ. (X = cross / Christos). So it's just as religious with the X in.

[PluralOfEverything]

@8DX Ah, I did not know that. I stand corrected. I'll use Mas instead then.

[8DX]

@PluralOfEverything OK, but you do know that the "mas" part of Christmas is etymologically mass or maese, i.e.: "the Eucharistic celebration in the Latin liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church". So even "Merry mas" is a religious greeting. Um I'll go hide under a stone now. (I know the vid was just for fun but I think the old non-Christian names for xmas, like "season" or "holidays" or "yule" are perfectly all right.. me I've fine with Christmas despite being an atheist)

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

marry mas, it can be followed back to this video, so it's forth taking Christ out of Christmas that way.

[pureevilfnord]

Have you ever heard the song "Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goal Post Of Life"?

[lordwindowlicker]

You do know that the "Mas" part of "Christmas" refers to Mass, or the religious service.

[JuryDutySummons]

@lordwindowlicker FOILED!

[MyOldName]

@lordwindowlicker

Meh, we'll just go with mass, or the property of matter.

[theeyeisblind]

i will be content with Xmas

[F0xism]

Didn't we try Happy Tylzmas last year?

[brettlooney]

Please don't drop kick my imaginary baby... please!

Ok.... all give you a pass... just this once... BUT I'm watchin' you buddy!

[k1dpresentable]

I am an atheist... and I LOVE Christmas! Won't be changing my holiday salutation. I'll just be embracing the family and philanthropic things while ignoring the jebus stuff.

Cool Idea OG... just not my kind of thang :)

[OGjimbo]

@k1dpresentable Yeah it's cool, I just thought it was a funny idea. I am gonna start hanging diapers full of skittles on my Christmas tree though.

[damaxman]

I'd prefer to use the term "Merry Satunalia" if you don't mind. =)

[barnbuddy101]

think i'll string up some rainbow skittles for my merry mas tree

lol

[Tgclove]

Merry Mas mr OGjimbo.

[SRH911]

I'll just say, "Happy Winter" or something, even though no one really enjoys winter because its cold as fuck and I hate everyone.

[MindAndMarzipan]

It's a little early for that, isn't it? Happy ween!

[MyOldName]

@MindAndMarzipan

Well, since we're not far from the time when Mas shopping season starts two months before the previous Mas, I think it might be a little late.

[xchainlinkx]

I'm gonna say "Have a great winter solstice"

[Linkacious1]

Ha ha, love it. Merry Mas!!

[rtottenc]

We could also merely replace Christ with some other long haired bearded guy that people all over the world love and cherish.

Marry Napalmmas Jimbo.

[MyOldName]

@rtottenc

Merry*

Also, who loves and cherishes Napalm? Guy needs to calm down; switch from napalm to charcoal...

[rtottenc]

@MyOldName

You sound like a Napalm denialist. Oh well.

How about Merry Pookamas instead?

[OGjimbo]

@rtottenc Merry WillieNelsonMas to you my friend.

[kelliko70]

I don't care what people say to me as long as I can get my shit and get the fuck out of the madness.

[progressthruscience]

The kick is GOOD!!!!!!!!! 

Merry Mas!

[h8red42]

Good idea!

[lardo444]

Merry Ma's Roadhouse.

peace, lardo.

[mynameaborat993]

Ha, that thumbnail was genius. for a split second I thought you were covering the X somehow (like, for aesthetic purposes or something...) and then I realized the real point of that.

Then I said it out loud, and I chuckled inside.

[recyard12x]

I would help your campaign, but I would have a hard time telling people to have a merry death. It amuzes me that when you say "merry christmas" you are actually saying merry death of christ :) lasttrumpetministries . org /tracts /tract4.html

[phenixwryter]

Man, that was funny!

Merry Mas : )

[EliteAmericans]

I'm currently working on a vid reply :)

[gothatfunk]

Merry Mas is good. i also like Merry Atheistmas.

[OGjimbo]

@gothatfunk Damnit, that gives me another idea, I might have to make a video response to my own video cause I just realized that this Christmas especially would be perfect for uttering the following phrase.............

Merry Hitchmas.

[qdragon1337]

why not x-mas?

"X the the Christ out of Christmas"

[ReasonableMe]

@qdragon1337

"X" is actually shorthand for "Christ". Look up "Christogram" in wikipedia for details.

Merry Mas!

[OGjimbo]

@qdragon1337 That works too, I don't have a problem with it.

[OukaKisa]

@OGjimbo The X in x-mas is the greek letter chi, not an actual x. It is a shortened version of the greek word for Christ.

Also it would be pronounced mass (like the Catholic church gathering) or miss (like an unmarried female). I do not know of a single person who would pronounce it Chriss-mas. Almost everybody says Chriss-mass or Chriss-miss. (You say the latter.)

[C0ct0pusPrime]

@OukaKisa then what's the deal with "ped xing' signs?

[OukaKisa]

@C0ct0pusPrime For those the x is an x. In X-mas it is a chi (I am insane when it comes to facts that have no real use on the planet)

[saxmanchiro]

As soon as the day after Thanksgiving(start of the holiday shopping season or official Mas time) comes, I will be trying my best to spread the new name.

Kick Christ out of the season. Sounds good to me.

[bushonomics]

I would like to suggest that everyone who hasn't been blocked by shockofgod go over to his channel and leave a Merry Mas comment, with the /watch of this video... I think that would be just swell.

Merry Mas :)

[sachamm]

Another great idea; on the level of "Have you seen this man?" IMHO.

[Shydrow]

Mas is capitalistic holiday. Fuck jesus.

Also fuck you for kicking off Mas early before Halloween and Thanksgiving.

[OGjimbo]

@Shydrow I know I'm totally guilty. I agree, fuck me.

[Rachayo]

@OGjimbo : It is ok man, I work in retail, and we had to put up Mas decorations October 1st. So really, you were 19 days late putting up this video. Slacker.

[MyOldName]

@Shydrow

Chill, it's not his fault; Stores in my area have had Santa shit up since July.

[Sendamagicmoment]

Merry Mas to all and to all a good night

[BillOralRushRimjob]

Commercialismas.

I love the idea of the holiday. (you know, how Jesus really isn't involved anymore anyway.) It's a great secular holiday.

[SwineNahNah]

Well, here in Eastern Europe it's not that much about changing name of winter holidays, (from my first language it translates as "winterfest", so Christ is not mentioned at all anyway), but the main reason is -X-tian priests have enough trouble fighting traditional Pagan way of celebrating winter solstice that was never 100% abandoned (and Midsummer night is 99+% Pagan).

Oh, BTW, the tradition of X-mas tree is rumored to come from my town and of course it's rooted in Pagan tradition. 8D

[BillOralRushRimjob]

X-mas. :)

[hosebeatings]

I am wanting a pound of whatever it is you are smoking.

[Tylzen]

Merry Yule! :D As we say in Denmark.

[sparky7718]

Why do you hate Jesus? ~facepalm~ my annual fav.

[Nilsy1975]

@sparky7718 Because he's a twat... oh wait... I thought you meant my local Mexican gas attendant.... Which Jesus do you mean?

[Korkzor]

I´d rather say "happy solstice" since that´s the original meaning of it :). Happy mas just sounds weird :S.

[MyOldName]

@Korkzor

How about Volumas? Or Densitous?

I like Fapmas...

Oooo! The Celebration of the Birth of All-Powerfull Atheismo?

[Royaleah]

That is kittens that fart rainbows.

[420messenger]

there's no Christ on Christmas these days... other days for other gods are cool but no Christ on Christmas? hmm... tolerance bro. tolerance. why hate?

[Vogter2100]

Well we here in Denmark say: Merry Yule ;-)

[OGjimbo]

@Vogter2100 Lol, they flagged your comment as "spam". You say something to upset some people lately or something? The Vogter-haters seem to pop up damn near anywhere these days, you may need to purchase some high power Trollecide to squirt on em or they may never go away.

[Vogter2100]

@OGjimbo You have no idea.. third impoersonator channel appeared to day in less than a week. I tis realman1000000 or realmanpwns fanboys.

[rellik31486]

hey christians! stop celebrating pagan holidays, ur getting one step closer to your "hell" everytime u open a present or put up a x-mas tree

[Vogter2100]

@rellik31486 Merry Yule ;-)

[rellik31486]

@Vogter2100 merry yule to u too

[manlioman]

I like this idea, but can we take it a step futher and take out "Mas" as it is short for the word Mass. Can we just say "Merry"? Or "Mary"? ... or Merry Winter Solstice, may you have a prosperous harvest of grain next year.

[Vogter2100]

@manlioman Merry Yule ;-)

[MyOldName]

@manlioman

Merry Winter Solstice sounds weird. Happy works better, in my opinion.

Happy Winter Solstice...

Meh, why not just use Happy Saturnalia? Retro -and- awesome.

[AncientAtheist]

I'd rather use him as a hockey puck.

Merry Mas.

[gamutman]

I like the idea, but i have been pushing my own meme by saying Merry Mythras for the past few years. I like it because it's a triple pun.

[216trixie]

"Moss"?? should be pronounced "Muh-s" yeah, just say christmas. You don't say "moss". not trying to be a pronunciation dictator.

[tattooskin72]

LOL, shits out skittles.... that's crazy man :)

[123Atheist]

I love how the stories of Jesus birth never happened historically.

[DarkMatter2525]

Baby Jesus almost certainly shits skittles. (just thought I'd type it out so everyone can fully appreciate it)

[corvardus]

@DarkMatter2525 Taste the rainbow. LOL

[MyOldName]

@DarkMatter2525

Those purple ones always did look a little brown...

[dalejr88]

LOL, I'm sticking with festivas . Great idea

[Deathatheist]

Merry Mass OG :)

[Uniqueindividual91]

Your idea is very interesting, however, I will continue to call it CHRISTmas. By the way...

[M0US3P0T4TO]

You sir, are nucking futs! lol

[nelliediddle]

damn it man I just lamb basted someone over playing X-mas carols already don't you start with it! ;)

how about just merry... mas reminds me too much of mass, which is the name of the service

[prestonparish]

haha I love it

[cheetmeister]

isn't it a bit early?

[whitefox998]

I love your odd tangent about baby Jesus football. Very merry Mas!
