I'm sad to hear you say that  :(

 

Christmas is fun if you spend it with fun people  :)

 

You should spend Christmas with me Gabs  ^_^

 

I pretty much agree with Gabs. Christmas is a fake holiday used by early Christians to subvert the Winter Solstice to convert pagans which later developed into being an overly commercialized holiday built on greed.

Hey, don't blame me that society turned Christmas into this mockery.

Tell me in more detail what it is that bothers you about Christmas. Is it just the fact that it has something to do with Christianity (although it really shouldn't since Christ was probably not born in the winter) or is it something a bit more specific?

 

Or do you just get really lame presents every year? :(

It is how it was originally used by early Christians to convert pagans by taking over their holiday and then turned into a capitalistic greed for all by today's society.

 

The birth of some half divine git is irrelevant in this matter.

Understood. Thanks for the response.

 

 

Hades, I present to you your new avatar. (hopefully my link works this time :( )

That would make a cool avatar.

Yes, and fitting for the holidays. :)

Amusing how the christians used pagan holidays to combine with their own to get new converts. Especially when pagans are evil and should be put to the torch.

Christianity was founded on such hypocrisy. It is to be expected.

Christianity setback evolution and the industrial age by more than a 1000 years. Should have left the vikings in charge and colonization of space would have been finalized some 500 years ago...of course we would have missed the enjoyment of the oppression of women as they were much more liberal in the viking age and we would also have missed the opportunity to be ruled by utter retards as Kings would still have been a matter of the fittest....and christmas we got, we were probably running out of goats to sacrifice and skulls to drink from eventually ...

Percisely. Humankind went back a few steps thanks to the benevolent christian religion. I don't know much about islam so I can't say anything about how "benevolent" they are.

Jesus loves you. ;)

Yeah Gabs and Hades would be one of those couples you would just love having at your home for Christmas Eve dinner ;)"

It's "Wizards in Winter", from 'Lost Christmas Eve', by Trans Siberian Orchestra. :)

 

So not ELO but TSO? :)

Thank you very much, you're my new hero. ;)

 

I really like the 'Remember' song. I'll have to go out and buy the CD now.

Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

Should I ever want to hear nonstop about how sick and evil Christianity is, they'll be the first on my list. Merry Christmas to both of them. :)

That is so wrong.

Do not turn form your own kind Gabrielle. Think of it, you could wallow in each others cynicism....

The only reason I celebrate christmas is because my family does otherwise I would have nothing to do with it.
