470 BILLION spent this holiday season, and you think you own the holiday?
It doesn't belong to Pagans anymore. It doesn't belong to Christians. It doesn't belong to any sub group. Christmas belongs to everyone, and feel free to do what you want for the holiday. Screw anyone that tells you you can't celebrate it the way you want.

Keep it up, and I'll cancel it next year, and we'll turn this car around and go BACK HOME!

This is a very fine video because it addresses a major theme among the deniers of science. I have spent 9 months trying to educate deniers of human-caused climate change in the Usenet newsgroup alt.climate-change and I have found that *NONE* of them retain the correct answers to the questions they ask for longer than a few hours. They constantly demand the answers to the same questions, daily, and they ignore the correct answers. I have spent hours answering physics questions, and they retain 0.

Wow! One of the best videos I've seen on this subject for a very long time.

I don't think that most Theists understand just how gentle most aTheists are in their conversations with them. People, like jezuzfreek and TogetherforPeace, put on an air of engaging in rational discussion but they'll only go so far. I've seen many aTheists who have taken much time and effort to gently console a Theist that opening their mind will not only NOT send them to Hell but actually will be rewarding. Thanks.

I say Merry Christmas. I also say Happy Hanuka. I also say Happy Saturnalia.

I just dont get Jezuzfreek777. He does not like to listen when people try to explain things to him.

If a Christian asks why you celebrate Christmas, ask them why they celebrate Halloween.

@1140Cecile Ahh, I thought maybe you were doing the lameass "atheist = a theist" thing, but thought not just because of the tone of your comment.

[1140Cecile]

@Gotrilliten I began purposefully typing aTheist rather than atheist about 6 months ago for the following reason. While some people understand the etymology of the word "atheism" very many seem not to understand and, because the word ends in "ism", these people assume that "atheism" is a belief system. They don't understand that it is only the latter two parts of the word that refer to a belief system i.e. "The" god + "ism" belief. Putting the "a" in front just means "not".

@ReddmanDGZ I tried to post a link to the report, but YT wouldn't let me. Anyhow, there's no need for a study: anyone who's ever had a fish knows that they remember the point of the aquarium where the food comes and they swim towards it whenever you pass by. How could they do that with an 8 seconds memory?

I'm only commenting this because that urban legend has always bothered me.

[Gotrilliten]

@1140Cecile Are you purposely saying "aTheists" or did you just typo that twice in a row? If not, then why?

Longest 8 seconds of my life.

Hey! I like canned cranberry sauce XD

religion divides families, the opposite of what Christmas is supposed to do. Conservatives make technology progress more slowly and people less economically proficient, Christmas is about the middle class spoiling themselves with what little they were able to save, so that they had a nifty little thing that injects a little bit of joy into the entire year. If anyone us anti Christmas it is conservative Christians.
