I believe nonchristians should not celebrate christian holiday [Spirituality & Religion]

If you don't honor Christ in your daily life than why should you celebrate Christmas and Easter
SW-User
There were celebration dedicated to this time of year waaaayyyy before Christ was born. The way Christmas is celebrated is heavily affected by those. I believe people like you should educate themselves.

@Mountainlady16 I hate to break this news to you, but you are wrong in your belief about Christmas. It is a holiday that was around much longer and Christians took it over making it their own in an effort to do away with the other observances and traditions. Sorry, but this is fact...IDidNotFart2 is correct.

Well, here's the great thing.. you can believe whatever you want.. go for it.. most people don't care what you think and they will celebrate it however they want. Merry Christmas to you.. I wish you a huge dollop of tolerance for 2020, may you learn humbleness and non-nonjudgmental ways.

@Adaydreambeliever Can we all have a little more of that? 😜
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Adaydreambeliever i have plenty of tolerance just because i won't associate with freaks and perverts dont mean I don't
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Holy defensive, Bat(shit crazy)girl. Please, don't let the holidays impose on your militia practicality.
You are truly living the spirit of Christ. I think that's exactly what Jesus would say. 🙄

The church appropriated a pagan holiday and called it Christmas.

Easter is the same situation.
Neither day has anything to do the christian faith.

The truth is there.
Graylight · 51-55, F
Right! Only the truly chosen and dedicated get to hang with God and his bad-ass son! No letting in stragglers or the poor or those who never heard of him or those seeking a better life or tax collectors or foreigners or sinners or... wait.

Way to monopolize a universal deity for your own greedy insecurities.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Yeah, I know. I only wish I could explain and complex and exquisite irony of your statement to you.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight there's only one way to heaven simple. You can't live anyway you want and be like I'm a good person dont work that way
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 And did God come down and have coffee with you while you conversed or is this just opinion wrapped up in religious entitlement?

And don't mention the Bible. I don't offer medical cures from a 9th century physician's reference.

That doesn't seem very Christian like, disinviting others from joining you in your Christian activities?

Christ didn't disinvite people... he welcomed the sinners.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 NEVER in the ancient and thereby truest translations. Not once.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight another excuse of gays to continue sinning. But they could also fall under another sin premarital sex and fornication since the bible doesn't recognize any marriages but one man and one woman too. So Even a gay married couple is committing that sin
Viper · M
@Mountainlady16 Yeah this is conversation is going in argument circles, which I don't like so I'm gonna step out.

But I just hope you realize that you're version of Christianity is more political conservative religion than it is biblical religion.

Which perfectly explains why the the political liberal religion completely upsets you. Which is also not the biblical religion.

You're living in a hell of your own making. Happy Christmas.

Maybe Christians shouldn't be Celebrating on Yule, and Ostara if they don't believe in the Pagan Gods. The Pagan gods owned those holidays first.
I suppose you put up a tree in your house....a pagon ritual
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@NightsWatch nope because its a pagan tradition
Quizzical · 46-50, M
@Mountainlady16 Strictly speaking, ALL of Christmas is Pagan or borrowed from prior religions. 🤔
Quizzical · 46-50, M
Well, I sort of understand where you are coming from.

I'm not Jewish so don't observe their celebrations.

I'm not Muslim so don't celebrate theirs.

I'm not Hindu and don't celebrate theirs.

And I am also not Christian...

It's not MY religion and I don't want to observe it.

Hard to convince people of that though 🙄
Who decides who is a Christian?

Fuck Christ!!! Imaginary friend.

Christ wasn’t a white male with blue eyes. First change the image of him you have in your mind and then we will start over.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 No, that's an untrue statement. Some radicals who are also Muslims are terrorists. Many more domestic Anglo-Saxon American citizens are also terrorists. So are any radicals who profess any random faith or ideology.

Some Christians murder physicians known to perform abortions. That doesn't equate to "All Christians are murderers."

(Funny - my 11-year-old niece could comprehend this.)
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@Graylight abortionist should get the death sentence
Graylight · 51-55, F
@Mountainlady16 Good to see all that tolerance on display.
redredred · M
Because I want to and your opinion means absolutely zero to me. I observe groundhog day without believing in the animals predictive ability.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@redredred all this Santa and crap cheapens the real reason for the holiday
HannahSky · F
It's about family, that's how people celebrate and come together, regardless of their beliefs.
Mountainlady16 · 22-25, F
@HannahSky its about Christ everything is madr up bs
HannahSky · F
@Mountainlady16 I'm saying that people come together this time of year for family, which I don't think requires any religious affiliation. There's history and there's reality of it. It's family and children that bring people together. Am I supposed to uninvite a relative if they aren't Christians or don't go to church, no.
marybmom · 41-45, F
so i assume i was wrong to go with jewish friends to a hanukkah celebration? that would truly suck to lose a dear friend because we worship differently
No problem. I don’t celebrate those holidays.

They celebrate and show their beliefs by going to Walmart and buying China made junk. Tons of it.
