Merry Christmas to the Politics Forum

If the date is irrelevant, then why do you pay homage to pagan feasts by insisting that Christmas is still celebrated at the time and with the traditions of Saturnalia?

Why don't you personally celebrate it in February? July?

I wish I felt the need to apologize for the liturgical calendar. Unfortunately, I had very little input on its' development.

there's no emoticon to indicate sarcasm or facetiousness

obviously it wasn't called Passover when it happened, but the way OS13 worded his post makes it sound that way

Oh yes, one must buy into a Christian Bureaucracy completely with its own liturgical calendar to be a proper Christian; don't want any of you Christians standing on principles...

When Christ was born they were already calling it Pass Over as the Exodus occurred just a few years earlier.

It was referred to as such as early as the Twelfth Chapter of Exodus.

gotcha. Now that I think about it, Passover is a Jewish holiday, isn't it?

oh well.

Merry Christmas!!

Ridiculous even for you. There are plenty of areas that I am willing to take a theological stand on regardless of what my particular local church or denomination's stance on the matter. Rewriting 1600 years of tradition over a silly date is not one of them.

You are getting all RainMan on us.

Don't give in to the Man! Don't celebrate Christmas on December 25th!

 

[theFallGuy]

Adios muthfkrz! I'm out. Have a good Christmas!

We always do the Christmas Eve midnight service. We won't be going back to Church 8 hours later.

We are big on the Christmas Eve service, but this year they are having just regular services at the normal times, just on Saturday. I don't get it.

X symbolizes Christ in Greek, so you basically said the same thing.

I know, but most people don't know that and end up *****ing about "putting Christ back in Christmas."

I only said that because it's mildly entertaining to elicit the exact reaction you gave me. People need to lighten up.

Enjoy your holiday.

honest question TRUT...

you think this was a little uncalled for?

Haha. And I was hoping for a reaction from you.

I think nothing is uncalled for in telling persons to enjoy their holiday.

It is what it is, certain people seek attention.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays (holy days?) to everyone in the politics forum. You guys make VN, IMO.

 

[Thrasher865]

I think you should. I just choose to remember it on his Birth day. Did You know the Lord was born on Pass Over?

No. You don't know that either. The actual date of Christ's birth is, once again, unknown.

 

[Slydell]

Happy Festivus, everyone.

By you.
