Merry Christmas, SPS!

[JungRebel]

(Excluding you, John Cohen.) I hope everyone is in good spirits. Remember to check in on those who cannot be with their family today or who are otherwise going through a difficult season.

For the fellow atheists, I wish you a merry day of family fun and material exchange.

A) Keep your ****** mouth shut about Christmas if you’re an anteist.

B) What the **** are you even doing here let alone think it’s cool to post a passing holiday message if you’re an Ole Miss fan?

 

[JungRebel]

If you're from the American south there is no escaping celebrating Christmas (without alienating the people closest to you). It's still a fun time. I don't mean to demean the faith, and I don't intend to get into an argument about it. The post is sincere and in good fun. I hope everyone has a safe and merry Christmas.

 

[Crucifictorious]

The correct and only response to anyone who says Merry Christmas is thank you.
The correct and only response to anyone who says Happy Holidays is thank you.
The correct and only response to anyone who says Happy Hanukah is thank you.
The correct and only response to anyone who says A Blessed Winter Solistice is thank you.

It's called not being a d**k

 

[Crucifictorious]

Thank you

Ditto. Have a blessed day of sodomizing cadavers or whatever you Ole Miss fans do...

Merry Christmas Jung.

High quality bait post

My first read thru was "marital exchange". That too.

Bravo sir! And Thank You.

JR - May you find peace and God during this holiday season.

You atheists all think you're being reasonable when you say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," but if you actually applied reason, you'd notice "Merry Christmas" is one syllable shorter and therefore beats "Happy Holidays" in efficiency.

Not an athiest but not a big fan of organized religion either but I use both. I use "Merry Christmas" for those I think I will see again between Christmas and New Year's. I then wish them a "Happy New Year". I use "Happy Holidays" for those that I don't think I'll see until some time in the new year.

Atheists should not celebrate CHRISTmas

Enjoy your life, it's gonna be hot where you are going

 

[preacher_dawg]

I suppose I have to do my obligatory post about something religious. Nobody will ever win anyone over to Christianity by being unnecessarily rude (notice I said unnecessarily because there are times when just sharing one's faith is seen as rude) or arrogant. Thanks for the Christmas wishes, Jung, you rebel scu...sorry you rebel fan. I hope one day you will see what others of us see.

 

[HotMop]

Enjoy your Festivus.

Christmas is mostly a secular holiday at this point. I have Hindu friends from India that have a Christmas tree and do Santa with their kids. Of course, many atheists celebrate Christmas. Why wouldn't they? Most of the holiday has little to do with Christianity at this point.

The last time Christmas fell on a Sunday, my church let the kids come in their pajamas and only had one service instead of three. Churches have to do anything they can to get people to come to services on Christmas because that's about the last thing most people want to do. Even Christians aren't keen on going to church on Christmas Day because it's become such a secular holiday.

That's ok. All us Athiests, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, and all the other non Southern Baptists will be partying together. As Billy Joel said " I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints cause sinners are much more fun."

I NEVER do this but... a reminder to all of faith on Christmas day

Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise."​

James 2:8 "If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour thyself, ye do well."

"​

And to you Jung, but:

It is not possible to be an Atheist, you cannot know, therefore I suggest you edit your post.

Just like a rebel, the height of arrogance is to believe yourself all knowing....

Not according to Pope Francis

The OP's college sports affiliation may keep him out of Heaven, but his religious beliefs won't.

I mean, you could just as easily say that about being a theist?

 

[WilCoDawg]

This reminds me of the old joke of “how can you tell if someone is an atheist?”

 

[Len2003]

Exactly. There is no proof of the supernatural. Hence, there is no proof of God or angels, or Heaven, ect. It's called faith because there is no proof any of it is actually true. We want it to be true because we are afraid to die, and it's depressing to think we won't see our relatives that have died again. I mean, I'd love for there to be solid proof of God's existence, but I'm not willing to lie to myself. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all. I usually work on Christmas because it's my least favorite holiday. But I hope everyone that enjoys it has a great day.

Wrong

 

[JungRebel]

Again, not trying to start anything, but I will reply to this so we do not misunderstand each other fundamentally. Atheism is for me (and the others I know) a belief, or lack thereof, not a claim of knowledge. That is all I mean by it.

 

[scotchie42]

LIFE IS A TEST TO SEE WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY.

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Thanks, Preacher. Jesus never forced Himself on others and about the only people He ever got angry with were the religious leaders of the day. Christians would do well to follow His example--especially at Christmas.

 

[thatsbaseball]

If you weren't trying to start anything then why not just wish everyone Merry Christmas and left it at that ?

 

[Coledawg]

I mean, you could just as easily say that about being a theist?

Maybe you’re not up to par on Christian Belief which is based on Faith.....

So, then I take it you don’t KNOW or have direct knowledge that there “is no Supreme Being”.

Ok, then you’re an Agnostic....

 

[baddawggy]

Not celebrating a known deeply rooted pagan holiday such as Christmas does not make you an atheist. Early Real Christians did not celebrate Christmas. You can make all all the excuses you want but this holiday is based on lies (santa) and capitalism at its finest with commercialism and greed at the forefront. That is all.

 

[JungRebel]

As was said before, making knowledge a part of the criteria would rid the world of all theists and atheists. No one has the requisite knowledge.

To all a good night.

“Atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist”.

So you are Agnostic, there is a difference. You just don’t comprehend very well. And yes, you were just showing your *** and trying to start some ****...

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year (for all things other than bearshark things).

By your logic every human on Earth is agnostic because it's impossible for any experiment to prove or disprove whether God or any other religious or supernatural being(s) exist. People just have to decide what they want to believe, whether it's a specific religion, a lack thereof, or a "spiritual but not religious" kind of thing.

Personally, I just accept people's labels for themselves. If a person says he's Christian, atheist, agnostic, Jewish, whatever, I'm take him at his word and don't try to say "well, uh, actually I say you're not!!!1"

Thankfully, it doesn't really matter what beliefs (or lack thereof) a person has as long as they treat others well.
