@ConfederatePatriot Yes, I realise all that bullshit. I understand the process of the pagan holiday being twisted into a holiday the bible doesn't even condone. Thank you, you're through.

@ConfederatePatriot And you can't forget that it's still a stolen holiday and old St Nick is hated by more jesus freaks every year. Sad how you need a reminder of something "so important". You theists go to church over and over again as if reading the bible once (as if you've done that already) isn't enough. You need to be reminded something you claim can save your life and soul. Pathetic.

@clipsryan continued... ...The lights are just a reminder that the "light of the world" has come. And you can't leave out the old time Christian "Saint" Nicholas, who is a representative of the biblical wise men bringing gifts to young children.

@clipsryan If you would do some real historical research, you would find that the celtic christian tradition of cutting down and putting up a tree was a representation of the resurrection. The point of it being an evergreen is that God lives forever. And it is put in a place of prominence in the household to show that Jesus should be at the center of our lives and families. The tradition of gift giving started with the 3 wisemen that gave baby Jesus presents of gold, frankincense, and myrr.

@ConfederatePatriot Once again, you're wrong and there's nothing christian about trees, presents and lights. The only thing "christian" about it is the hybrid Xmas carols.

@Carlton21488 No, as soon as kids were picked on everyday, schools had shootings. Don't you dare claim that the church hasn't done some horrible shit to children. Prayer can't even save kids of cancer so don't you selfishly force non-theist and non-christian kids to respect something you can just do in your head or before you come to school. Please read the whole bible and a history book and remember that CHRISTMAS IS NOT A FUCKING CHRISTIAN HOLIDAY!

[ConfederatePatriot]

Either way is Christian

Merry CHRISTmas

Happy HOLY days

"God Bless Y'all"

(never say X-mas)

(Forget Political Correctness)

DO NOT take Christmas out of stores and schools. That is the WORST thing we could do. As soon as prayer was taken out of schools, shootings started to happen. "When you take God out you let the devil in" Separating Christmas and schools is the WORST idea I have ever heard.
