MadManMike Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 The thing about Christmas that annoys me is that I don't believe, even remotely, in the stories we are told about Jesus. So, I shouldn't celebrate right?But then you have people inviting you round and get offended if you don't bring gifts...So I'm a hypocrite, but have no choice. I like drinking beer, eating turkey and giving and receiving stuff but to me, Jesus & The Bible is no more than a collection of fictional stories.

JonMack Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) I'm still waiting for a reply to:No Christmas is his birth and easter is his resurrection. I thought it was commen knowledge! Bearing in mind the content of my post a few replies after, some kind of admittance of ignorance or lack of intelligence would be good.

Tomm Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yeah but everyone *should* know that Christmas represents the day Jesus was born - this is common knowledge, surely? Whether he was technically born on that exact day over 2000 years ago (which no one knows anyway) is not really relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) In fairness, both dates are considered by christians as the 'Celebration of the birth/death of Jesus', not actual dates...Edit: What Tomm said.

Tony Harrison Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) What did Jesus ever do for us anyway? Where was Jesus when the council wanted to send bailiffs round for an old unpaid tax bill?FFS... got to go back into the town centre because yesterday's 'mission' was such a write-off. I hate it. It's not just the queues and the crowds, it's the idiots buying so much stuff. Christ (hey, there he is again...), I'd be happy with just a mug of foaming nut-brown ale for Christmas! That'd be fine!(edited for poor spelling and general spasticity) Edited December 19, 2007 by snappel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Yeah the whole "I've got this, this, this, this, this & this and some other stuff too" is annoying - who cares?Showing off that you've wasted over £500 on one person?

JonMack Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Yeah but everyone *should* know that Christmas represents the day Jesus was born - this is common knowledge, surely?Yeah I get where you're coming from, and it is common knowledge that Christmas is the celebration of Jesus' birth, but when I say I thought Jesus wasn't even born in Christmas day?and get a reply such asDid you even go to school? it's a bit rude not to apologise.Also saying this and then not coming in to apologise for the error, or to attempt to stand his ground, which is what most people do in an argument.No Christmas is his birth and easter is his resurrection. I thought it was commen knowledge! It's not common knowledge, it's a common misconception.I guess he just doesn't want to swallow his pride and apologise for being wrong.(Edited because of excessive line breaks)PLUS, it's my thread and I'm allowed to be an idiot in it... at least, that's what a lot of people do, so I assumed that was okay?

GaZaa Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I love christmas but its a real anti climax after it all. I'm not keen on the fact that crimbo shopping begins at the end of August and its a 3 month build up for the sake of one day.But every year my family and my girlfriends family always do something different so its something to look forward to. Like a few years ago we went to feureteventura and we have family get togethers away from our own homes as the family lives allover the country so we hire a big house for a weekend a few weeks before christmas. I think the reason people dislike christmas is all the shit that comes with it, like shopping starting way too early and the money and crap that is not necessary.I like christmas with my family becuase its varied and friends come back from uni and people you dont get to see a lot come out of the woodwork.The tellys quite good too, gives a kind of warming feeling for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're cool for that, I think you've got more money than sense.Yes, like..."I spent £300 on 'the missus'!"Er, yes mate, you're only about 16, and I know you think you're 'in love', but what else could you have bought?! Oh look! You've bought the A2-sized card! How f'cking tacky!Christians can f**k off. Unless they're going to do a midnight mass where they hand out a jar of downers and a bottle of scotch to each member of the congregation. That'd be an experience...
