Agnostics and atheists, do you celebrate Christmas?

[ragincaucasian]

Why wouldnt we celebrate the Winter Solstice / Mithra's birthday?



There really isnt anything more humorous than the hubris of.christians......

I love the retards who get offended over "Xmas"...what was the first NT book after Acts? What is the Roman letter for "Chi" (Christ)? Dumbass

I think I can celebrate Mardis Gras, too, without being Catholic

 

[Spleen]

I don't celebrate the religious side of Christmas, I believe that is becoming rarer these days. Instead I focus on what it has become, a time for family to get together, eat food, get drunk and share gifts.

 

[Rattrap]

I personally don't see Christmas as a religious holiday it's just a time to get together and be with family.

This is the way I see it. I take every excuse I can to get paid extra, have a day off, and drink - be it Christmas, Easter, Independence Day (though I obviously get little benefit of that holiday outside of the States), whatever.

Life's too short not to celebrate...well, life.

 

[LukeEl]

How do kids raised in the Church of Satan celebrate Christmas though?

 

[zell]

I'll have dinner with family,and that's about it.No exchanging of gifts or any of that nonsense.

 

[Straight Shooter]

For some reason my family celebrates Easter even though we don't go to church again I think this is just tradition but it baffles me.

 

[averageJoe]

Why not? Just because I don't believe in a god or religion doesn't make me an asshole who doesn't believe in having fun.

 

[feller469]

How do they even know what year it is?

 

[edirons22]

No I don't.In fact I hate Xmas.

Easter was named after Eoster (The Saxon Goddess), and there were festivals near/on the spring equinox every year.

And it got mixed with the story of Attis, who died every year and was reborn 3 days later.....


That and a bunch of other twists and turns, but thats a novel all to itself to explain.

Easter comes from the Greek term Paschal, actually.

Nope, its named after Eoster, at least that's what a lot of researchers think.

Like I said, its convoluted.

 

[Ulysses31]

No I don't.In fact I hate Xmas.

Especially if you don't have much going for you in life or you aren't a naturally jolly person. This can often make xmas and the new year an ordeal at best

 

[JoeV]

No I don't.In fact I hate Xmas.

Jew or Muslim?

You seem to know way too much

 

[_stylez]

I'm an Atheist and no I don't celebrate it. I will "celebrate" it when invited by those who do celebrate Christmas. I like the "inner" part of it. About getting together, but that has drifted away. Today Christmas has become so artificial, it's drifted away from it's traditions. So in a sense, not many people truly celebrate it either, non-believers and believers alike.

 

[edirons22]

Jew or Muslim?

Neither. Ex-Christian :elaugh:
