!. Christmas is not a thorn in my side. It’s a great holiday. Your own Christmas card points this out when you ask people to circle the religious or Christian symbols and then have pics of Santa, trees, gifts, etc… How are magic reindeer, stockings full of candy, gifts, and happy children a thorn in my side? You are simply celebrating the Holiday ‘WRONG.’ If you don’t like the way YOU are celebrating it “STOP DOING IT THAT WAY.” If you don’t like the holiday, “DON’T FUCKING CELEBRATE IT,” No one gives a shit.
It’s called “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” you 'TARD." It’s the exact same “FREEDOM” that allows you to come on this site, open your ignorant trap and say inane bullshit that would get you killed in an Islamic country. THEIR FREEDOM IS YOUR FREEDOM, you moron. Speak out against their reasoning, challenge their logic, educate them, BUT DO NOT CHALLENGE THEIR FREEDOM TO EXPRESS THEIR BELIEFS.
You are engaged in pure bullshit and adhomonim attacks. Why in the fuck are you even going there. No one on the site has brought up the authenticity of the Christmas holiday or the existence of Jesus. You are off on a wild rant against religion and you sound like a moron.
Pick a topic and stay on it. You are all over the fucking map, politics, abortion, christmas, bla bla, bla. What you are is a religious bigot.
WTF??? AND WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK MODERN ISLAM OR CHRISTIANITY IS?
Islam: Total submission to the will of god.
Christianity: Proverbs 3:5-6_ 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Romans 8:5
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth
I can do this all day…
Confusion about sun sacrifice being religious? Are you insane? Have you not heard of the Aztecs? Huitzilopochtli, also spelled Uitzilopochtli, also called Xiuhpilli (“Turquoise Prince”) and Totec (“Our Lord”), Aztec sun and war god NOT RELIGIOUS MY ASS! (Seriously, on a side note. Did you graduate high school? You sound like you are 16 years old and on a mission to save the world without the intellignece to blow your own nose.)
And modern Christians, Islam, Hindu, Whatever… are not? WTF are you on about? Your arguments are moronic.
You are a Moron: I have already cited the aztecs. You are engaged in a “Historical Fallacy.” You are attempting to see the religiosity of the past through the eyes of modern religion. Since it does not look the same, you think it is not there. People also do this when they look at China and say it is secular. BULLSHIT. I am really familiar with China. Not even the Comunists in charge of the country are secular. Ancestor worship is EVERYWHERE and deepy engraned in the culture. SHAMANISM survives in all their religious celebrations and superstitions.
Pretending the Sun worship or Anamissm, was not religious or that it was a ‘good religion’ is pure ignorance.
Egyptian Sun God Worship: Ra - All forms of life were believed to have been created by Ra. In some accounts, humans were created from Ra’s tears and sweat, hence the Egyptians call themselves the “Cattle of Ra”. In the [myth of the Celestial Cow] it is recounted how mankind plotted against Ra and how he sent his eye as the goddess, Sekhmet, to punish them. Egyptians hunted ibises in large numbers and offered them as sacrifices to their gods.Scientific Reports Magazine reported that the Egyptians offered these birds as sacrifices to the gods Horus, Ra, and Thoth.
Do you know the difference between sympathetic magic and parasympathetic matgic? Paganism practiced sympathetic magic. A one to one relationship between the physical world and the spiritual world. Later developments, and the end of paganism, brought parasympathetic magic, (symbolic magic). One no longer had to kill a man and dring his blood to gain his power and strength as in the pagan beliefs. Now, a man could symbolicly drink the man’s blood, in… let’s say… a glass of wine… to gain his power and strength., This is a key distinction between paganism and modern theologies. Sympathetic and parasympathetic magic. Most of today’s religions are parasympathetic; however, you can still see the sympathetic practiced in Judaism, Shaminism, Shinto, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc…
Where the fuck am I at???
Saturnalia, held in mid-December, is an ancient Roman pagan festival honoring the agricultural god Saturn. Saturnalia celebrations are the source of many of the traditions we now associate with Christmas.
Saturnalia, the most popular holiday on the ancient Roman calendar, derived from older farming-related rituals of midwinter and the winter solstice especially the practice of offering gifts or sacrifices to the gods during the winter sowing season. In addition to other celebratory practices, Romans gave their friends and loved ones small terracotta figurines known as signillaria , which may have referred back to older celebrations involving human sacrifice. On the first day of the festivities, a young pig would often be publicly sacrificed at the temple, which was located in the northwest corner of the Roman Forum. The cult statue of Saturn in the temple traditionally had woolen bonds tied around his feet, but during Saturnalia these bonds were loosened to symbolize the *** god’s liberation.***
YOU JUST DON’T HAVE A CLUE!
