Since there is no credible evidence of the mythical event it is reputed to be based upon, Christmas is an illegitimate holiday. The holiday was invented and placed on the calendar to commandeer the millennial long celebration of winter solstice. For that matter, for similar reasons, Easter is just as illegitimate because it too is a celebration of a mythical event and was placed on the calendar to commandeer the millennial long celebration of spring equinox.

I dont think many Americans take it seriously. Just the liberal/leftard panderers who thought that they could garner votes and so foisted it on us, and even THEY dont actually believe in it except as another tool to get power.

Oh just shut up.

Right............

So Jesus of Nazareth wasnt born and he didnt die in execution for being who he was.....


Pray tell, what do you believe in that we can just as ignorantly label a 'myth' ????

And if you claim to be an Atheist, that itself is a belief in something unproven.

Since I know of no creditable evidence that you exist, why should I not celebrate the birth of Jesus?

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

There is credible evidence that Moses was real. Tons of it... Moses wasn't a Christian. It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy. The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of an earthly monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses. Historically, this is proven over and over again with the successive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. (This includes the idolatry of cultural Marxist paganism.)

Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Anyone with an ounce of research skill (and the desire) can find out the basis of the modern celebrations of Christmas and Easter. They are pagan celebrations adapted to serve modern christianity, just like the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath. Why people insist on following their forefathers' blind ignorance is something I don't understand.

There is nothing illegitimate about Christmas, while it actually marks the date of the Holy Conception, what better day, 'winter solstice', shortest day for some of us to remember the day when God came and dwelt --

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same: That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

For that matter, for similar reasons, Easter is just as illegitimate because it too is a celebration of a mythical event and was placed on the calendar to commandeer the millennial long celebration of spring equinox.

I have no argument with your take on Easter, cause it is basically what you describe. Not one of the disciples, let alone Christ had anything to do with the 'bunny and egg' rolling.

[Nathan Zachary]

Your birth was a mythical event.

[hoosierham]

Well,at least one international corporation 2007 calendar has dropped both Easter and Christmmas in favor of Spring Holiday and Winter Holiday!!(I got the memo Wednesday).

[TaxRelief]

You are correct about Christmas, but incorrect about Easter.

The celebration of the birth of Christ was randomly selected because his actual birthdate was unknown. Indeed, many Christian sects give only a secular nod towards Christmas.

However, there is no randomness in the date Easter is celebrated. Christians have convened hundreds (thousands) of times to pour over the records and scriptures to determine the historical accuracy and timing of the events leading up to the Resurrection of Christ. Easter is tied intimately to coincide with Passover and attempts to stay as closely timed with luna events as possible.

Christmas is an illegitimate holiday.... For that matter, for similar reasons, Easter is just as illegitimate.

Not so fast my friend. The life and death of Christ is of little dispute. Just because the dates may be incorrect does not deligitimize their occurance. On the other hand (and back on the subject), Kwanzaa is totally made up from whole cloth to celebrate a culture and philosophy that never knew each other. Debate that.
