Haha, someone sent me hate mail about that earlier, because I said that non-Christians can celebrate Christmas. Some girl went off on me in an e-mail about it. You just gotta love the sensitivity...

Christmas is only celebrated by Christians as the birth of Jesus (even though December 25 is not his actual birth date). Many others celebrate Christmas for a variety of reasons (peace on Earth, good will towards men) and they are entitled to do so, regardless of how loud the Christians howl!

I never worry about why Christians took over the Yule and started calling it Christmas

No offense, but I don't like it when people employ such deflection tactics. I don't like it when someone tries to deflect attention away from one problem by bringing up other problems.
Because the truth is, you're not really concerned about "more pressing things" -- you're just trying to hush us with regard to our opinions on Christmas.
We can worry about "more pressing things" and we can worry about how Christmas is celebrated at the same time.
You seem to think that human beings are capable of worrying only about one problem at a time, which isn't true.

I agree. The entire fate of the world seems to hing on this matter.

"Why are non-Christians celebrating Christmas?"
Because it is not scriptural and a true Christian event.
The same reason true followers of christ do not celebrate it.
It's a festival tainted with paganism.
