Christians we should pity and pray for the Atheists at this time of year more than ever.

At the time of year to celebrate the winter solstice? Christ was not born in December, putting a tree in your house and decorating it is a pagan ritual.

Maybe we should pity people who claim to be religious but don’t actually know the details.

The only hard thing about this time of year are ridiculous comments like yours.

Are you really under the impression that people associate Christmas with Christianity? Christmas is possibly the most materialistic concept in the entire world. People think of gifts, trees, colored lights, snow, Santa Claus, and above all else, shopping.

Honestly, I feel sorry for practicing religious people around Christmastime. It probably sucks seeing a commemoration to a deity having been turned into the world's biggest commercial holiday.

I do not recall a Bible passage where Jesus spoke of "the venom and spiteful negativity" of the persecutors who crucified him.

Jesus said, "Forgive them."

Perhaps you don't intend these posts of yours to be scornful, but that is exactly how they come across.

I think those whom you address as Atheists love God more than you. Let me wish that all of them will together pray for you. Such a hateful and provocative statement this 👇[quote]Christians we should pity and pray for the Atheists at this time of year more than ever.[/quote]

I don't know which world do you live. Looks like you carry a lot of venom towards people. I have friends from all other religions and even people who don't believe in any God. They all celebrate Christmas 🎄

But people like you are more focused on spreading hate. We should be respectful towards others. On the other hand how many of the festivals of other religions do we celebrate ?

After reading your posts and comments of few fellow Christians out here, it seems that we are the source of hatred in this world. Before trying to change others and the world, let us try to ok change ourselves. Let us learn to give respect to others and automatically others will start respecting us.


[quote] Pity them, don't scorn them.[/quote] We feel pity for you.

I'm an atheist who LOVES Christmas. Why pity a man who both honors and celebrates pagan holidays? I embrace them!

Wherever I look there are reminders that the christians are celebrating their christian festival.

I hope they all have a good time

Why does that seem to upset you so much?

I pray that people will see through all the trappings of tinsel, snowmen and santas, and experience the real gift of Christmas, the Saviour who was born to die in our place so that we can be reconciled with God!!

Without Christ Chistmas would be very meaningless to me.

Talk about a ridiculous view of atheists. Must be hard being a Christian and so filled with hate.

@IndigoSavage You would probably call me an atheist, but I'm actually agnostic; are you aware of the distinction? Regardless, the few true Christians I know despise all the marketing and consumerism far more than the non-religious people I know.

Ask some real Christians; they'll explain to you that pine trees and strings of lights and tubby gentlemen in red suits have [i]nothing[/i] to do with Jesus. It's kind of amusing how mixed up you are about the difference between marketing and religion.

All hail baby jesus birth 🤣

That being said, Atheists are just as bad as the Religious both are on the extremes near the different ends of the spectrum

The venom and spiteful negativity they bear all year will intensify

NOW THIS IS THE CHRISTIANITY THAT I LOVE come on can you feel the love here and a most holy day ? or this person that likes to make fun of others. in the guise of caring.

Most people celebrate MALL MAS and if thats their true belief,not to believe,thats fine with me

It is quite easy to believe in the good will of one man to another and choose a day to celebrate it. In the Trenches of World War 1 soldiers came out to No Mans Land and played Football. Now if you want to credit god for that, go ahead. Neither of us can prove it. But in the end it was men who had the humanity to do it. Not gods divinity..😷

I try not to scorn folk anyway, regardless of time of year. Each to their own, I guess.

Christmas has absolutely nothing to do with religion anymore bud 😂

You have to be kidding! We atheists love Christmas. Christmas trees, mistletoe, holly, gifts, food, snow (in the north that is), drink, friends, family, all at once!

Not to mention a chance to see old films that you haven't seen since last Christmas, to hear some brilliant music sung in glorious buildings, and more.

Nothing fails more than prayer.

I'm an atheist who loves Christmas. And it's not because I care about Geezus, but because it's one of the happiest times of the year and I love Christmas trees, Santa, gift giving, snow, decorations, eggnog, mistletoes and everything. It's a wonderful escape from mundane life

Are you kidding ?
Happy holidays !

if what your are being is christian. or act christian would you really ask these questions to make venom and spiteful negativity to all atheists. shame on you for that. you are a sad sad person .personal thought there . look how it went for these folk. it was a war

You got that right, sister. 👍👍

Which, in turn, is the epitome of Christian privilege, being bombarded with their stupid holiday and attitude that everyone should either be or become Christian. Not all non-Christians are atheists, you know.

It’s not hard this time of year. Christmas is a time where all can see that the god myth is no more real than Santa Claus, flying reindeer or toy making elves.

I pray for the enlightenment of those who think non Christians are venomous and spiteful, and necessarily atheists. 🙏😇

Please do. All that venom and spiteful negativity really does get to me. I find it unbearable at times. ;)

I think we also shouldn't troll them
