I was told that the "X" before "mas" is a symbol of non-belief.
If you do believe, why would you not write Christmas. It doesn't take much more effort!

it seems that i was asked for a bible verse to what jesus said about loving people equaly but you see i know the bible better than the christians do but yet christians dont know it says that in there?

it may not seem like the exact words but very close to that line. jesus never spoke of sins and sinners and when he died on the cross he looked to the heavens and said "Father forgive them for they do not know what they do" but christians dont even know thats in there i bet.

you christians should sit down and read the whole bible from front to back some time you will see why there are ex christians and atheist out there

I've heard this said often on this forum, but I'm not sure what it means. I'm not interesting in the "Appeal to Tradition" fallacy that says, "If that's how it was, it's how it should be." I'm wondering if the nation was Christian or the founders were?

the act of producing a child. Hench, immaculate a birth was unblieveable to doubters of Christ. Now we have found this is possible with artifical insemination. Yet man still doubts the birth of Christ through measures of divine conception. The ability to do was foretold hundreds of years ago by His birth and man has manage to come as close as he can to reproducing this act. Which gives validation to the possiblity of Divine conception without sex. If this is true how much truer is it possible that The Birth of Christ is REAL???

For full disclosure, I am a recovered christian who walked into the light of atheism several years ago...

One question that always bugged me when I was a christian was the concept of jesus' "suffering" for sins on the cross.

There are other forms of crucifixion that are much worse including breaking the legs of the victim so they suffocated sooner; being crucified upside down, etc.

There were much worse ways to be executed in the ancient world.

Why do you think his crucifixion was so bad that he "took on all the sins of the world"?

Some Pagans celebrate it on the 21st of December, some celebrate it on the day the calendar says it's Winter Solstice.

When do you celebrate it, if you do?

I'm celebrating it today, for those who may be curious.

Merry Yule, Pagans and not!

Have a happy, productive winter season!

According to the CIA website the UK has (under the heading Religions) 71.6% Christians, made up of Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist etc.
There are 2.7% Muslims.
There are also Hindu 1%, other 1.6%, unspecified or none 23.1%

There is a marked absence of Christmas decorations in every Government Office (with access to the public) I have visited recently including the local Tax Office, JobCentre, Local Council Offices etc. The reason I was given at all these places was that it might cause offence.

There have been many Imams giving 'hate' speeches though.
This and the self inflicted Political Correctness has put a dark shadow on the way Government Offices are seen to celebrate Christmas.

The Hindu 1%, other 1.6%, unspecified or none 23.1% have not uttered a word against Christianity.

The UK has been a Christian country for over 2000 years.

does the hijab represent anything religiously?
why do muslim girls wear hijabs, then tight clothes and make-up? isn't that totally contradictory? to be a respectable person, you don't need to cover yourself up like that, there are many women around the world who don't cover themselves like that from head to toe, but are very respectable because they aren't cheap either, should i be less respected than a muslim girl with a hijab even though i never wear skimpy skirts or shirts or make-up? if it is for the respect of a woman, how does polygamy give women respect?

I understand that chronologically, we had the Jewish one then the Christian one then the Muslim one.
But they can't be the same since each one apparently wants to be the only one worshipped ( hence the others are "fake").
So why do some people say they are the same? Do you believe they are?

I have always wondered this. Certainly no one, even one as great as Moses, could describe his own funeral, could he?

christians hate non believers all the time why are you this way anyways.

It's too bad really all these people getting sucked into beleiving in something that doesn't exsist. Is there any way we can help them from their folly? No wonder they are such suckers..send me your money etc etc..anyone who beleives is so gullable.
What can those of us who know better do to help these poor saps out before they end up destitute and on the street?

Some people place their hope in Angels and divine beings. Others elect politicians who seem to fail them on every corner. Where does your hopes and answers lay this Christmas?
