@LxE100 Christian are moronic that believe in a magic man in the sky

Also just because im atheist does not mean i can't celebrate a day. I get drunk and have a good time at my m8s birthday just as much as at mine.

Christmas in Ireland at least, is a social event not religious very few and i mean no one i even know would go to mass/pray on Christmas most people get pissed and go to there friends house with there spouses.If it was not for kids i bet you 90 percent of even religious people atleast here would not care for it. I actually worked on xmas last year and most shops are open pubs/restaurants.

Atheists are moronic. They'd believe anything, except the one true God. It's a shame.

WTF - The first one had nothing to do with Atheists and Christmas

[brokolay]

Well said bro. Your children should have an open mind and make her own choices. But christians are for christians and NO one else. They are right and everyone else is wrong. This is the dumbing down of civilization and what keeps us from coming to a mutual utopia.

@jezuzfreek777 Those who pointed out that Christmas was initially a Pagan holiday did so to mock your logic that Christmas should only be celebrated by those who accept Christ. No one should have to exclude themselves from holiday celebrations because their not of a specific faith. My friend is a rabbi, and I took part in Chanukah celebrations, and he went to our Christmas party. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with saying "happy holidays" to respect all traditions? You just don't get it.

4:13 - You read the wrong entry! Of course 'Christmas' references Christianity first! 'Christmas' is what the celebration of Saturnalia and other solstice festivals got called by Christians once it was appropriated by them! 5:45 - Christians stole the holiday successfully, therefore it's okay for you to celebrate a previously pagan holiday, but hypocritical for me to do it? Really? The winner-takes-all approach to cultural festivities... that's certainly a new one!

3:20 - "Why as an atheist would you celebrate a Pagan holiday?" Wow, you really didn't get it. We don't celebrate a pagan holiday - we appropriated fun traditions (like decorating trees and giving presents) from pagans because we like doing it! Christians did the same thing, which is why we brought up Saturnalia - to show you that we celebrate Xmas for very similar reasons. P.S. If you knew we atheists were going to bring up Saturnalia - why didn't you just address that in your first video?

2:26-2:32 - Really? Every day you can do that!
