Christmas is coming!

Friedrich Nietzsche

[CoM_Solaufein]

There are many versions of spelling his first and last name. I got this from a book of quotes.

[Baley]

He was born Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

Reason to like Christmas: extra day off

Reason to hate Christmas: everything is closed (at least in Australia)

Thats because everyone has an extra day off

[Diamond]

Exactly.

Well, you know those satyrs. Easy to please.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If those statues are anything to go by it's the Satyr women who are pleased

Although they have a thing for human women.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

There are no female satyrs. Males are satyrs, females are nymphs.

 

Just picked this up in history class.... Jesus was a guy who was born to a family of middling means, he wan't born as Jesus, he was a jew, he was baptized by john with the name Jesus. He actually had some claim to royal lineage, and he was born in 3 BCE (or BC as those of you christians call it)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Thats somewhat of a fallacy. Jesus was a devout jew his entire life. He never suggested nor would have supported a new religion, simply addition and revision to current holy doctrine. All else is the result of his follower's actions.

Here's one xmas/winter joke before I go to bed:

 

 

[LadyCrimson]

Xmas day is fine. It's all the days leading up to Xmas that I can't stand.

[Darth_Schmarth]

The thing I like about Christmas is that its the one time all my old friends go back to my hometown and we get to catch up with each other.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That is indeed one of those things that's good about Christmas. I don't mind the whole buy-stuff-and-say-Merry-Christmas-to-people thing. I swallow this perfect reason to enjoy the winter a little more whole.

 

But I don't like buying gifts.

Christmas

Of course I grew up in southern california so we never had the snow or the sledding on Xmas... but I always felt this is how the media portrayed it.

 

Xmas to me (as a non-religious person) = family, friends, gift giving, food. YAY! (w00t)

Child you hate christmas... but you plan to be a priest.... I see a logical fallacy in that. You're supposed to revere Christmas because it's when Christ your savior was born...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

if he existed, he was born in the summer. more or less...

 

btw, christmas is really a pagan holiday which the church/christians stole..
