You would not have to blah and blah about it if you did a little reading. It is a pagan celebration.
Christmas is not a 'pagan celebration' simply because it falls on the same date, dude. Many holidays fall on the same date or very close together, but that doesnt mean one 'stole' the date from the other or is really secretly based on the other.
Lol, I am a Christian and pro-Christmas.This is from Wikipedia.
Mosaic of Jesus as Christus Sol (Christ the Sun) in Mausoleum M in the third-century necropolis under St Peter's Basilica in Rome.[16]
Sextus Julius Africanus, a historian of the second century, maintained that Jesus of Nazareth was conceived on March 25, which the Christian Church came to celebrate as the Feast of the Annunciation.[17] With the term of a pregnancy being nine months, Sextus Julius Africanus held that Jesus was born on December 25, which the Western Christian Church established as Christmas.[17] Recorded in Sextus Julius Africanus's Chronographiai (221 AD), this thesis is corroborated by an interpretation of Gospel of Luke that places the appearance of Gabriel to Zechariah on the observance of Yom Kippur that occurs around October, as "the worshipers were praying outside of the Temple and not within" for "only the priest could enter the Temple at this time to conduct the proper rituals"; because Jesus was six months younger than his cousin John the Baptist, Jesus was conceived in March and born in late December.[18]
In 274 AD, Emperor Aurelian made a festival for Sol Invictus ("The Unconquered Sun"), originally a Syrian deity who was later adopted as the chief deity of the Roman Empire.[19] While some writers believe that this may have influenced the Christian feast of Christmas, other historians such as Louis Duchesne, Hieronymus Engberding and Thomas Talley maintain that the Christian feast of Christmas was already being celebrated and that Aurelian established Dies Natalis Solis Invicti in order to compete with the Christian feast of Christmas.

Oh so here we have another thread--we will have many this month, I assume--wherein non-Christians attempt to make themselves feel better about wanting to celebrate Christmas, when all the year long they hate on Christians. So we will be treated all month long to diatribes about how Christmas is pagan; Christmas is at the wrong time of year; Christ wasn't really resurrected; Mary wasn't really a Virgin, and blah blah blah.
All so the angry atheists can have their Christmas too. That's how juvenile and petty they are.
How about this, angry atheists. How about you just celebrate Christmas and get over it. And let us celebrate Christmas without having to dump all over OUR Christmas too.
You whiny little children.
Maybe you should read the post prior to responding to it?
The article is titled "Christmas Controversies", and yes, I read it. And yes, both the wiki article and this thread had already turned into one wherein atheists attempt to make themselves feel better about celebrating Christmas.
That is is very likely to not be the actual birthdate does not change the celebration.

Atheists have to make themselves feel better about celebrating Xmas? Or do they react to the multitude of people saying they can't or shouldn't?
That is is very likely to not be the actual birthdate does not change the celebration.
I am not responding in anger or to rebuff you, so please dont take it as being intending to offend you in any way at all. You are an intelligent and h onest participant on these forums in my mind.
But I think the timing of the Roman poll and taxation attendant with it to the olive harvest and the time it took to manually press it into olive oil and store it makes it pretty certain to have been in late November to early December that Jesus was born. The reason Christians used December 25th is entirely because the average farmer would be able to know when that day was at the time as they followed celestial events closely to know when to plant, etc. The heavens were their form of calendar and so things tended to get clumped around those dates.
Why do you think it the opposite and surely not that He was born in a December-ish time frame?
So in other words, anyone that does not agree with your beliefs. I mean really, where does the 50-50 thing come from?Yes, there are arrogant, militant atheists. But they are the minority, for sure. Just like the arrogant, militant Christians.
Jury's out on that. I would say 50-50 for atheists.
No, I think the militant obnoxious atheists are only about 20% of the total. Most atheists I know in real life dont bother trying to browbeat Christians.
We just have that impression because the militant minority among atheists get 110% of the air time, kind of like anti-Evolutionists get almost all the air time and most people think that most Christians are opposed to Evolution Theory..
I guess it would depend on what you call "militant". If you were just going to categorize militant, I agree with you. If you want to go with "obnoxious", I have to go at least 50-50 on that. But then, most of them are Progressives, and Progressives are almost always obnoxious...so there is that. heh
I'm an atheist, and not threatened at all by your beliefs. I do wish you would keep them outta places like courthouses and schools though. It gives people the wrong impression.I don't think we need to "make ourselves feel better". I celebrate Christmas because I like tacky Christmas decorations and the excuse to.give presents to.my kids and such.This is from Wikipedia.
