Americans are being terrorized into not celebrating Xmas

[tackattack]

We need an atheist holiday.... but how? lol

We have, it's called Xmas - same thing, same day, no baby Jesus.

Agreed. Everyone should feel a part of Xmas. Give the gift of giving and all that. I don't get offended if someone has non-christian decoartions up or no decorations for that matter. Christmas wreaths aren't christian.. come to think of it neither are christmas trees. Most holidays are secular anyways. That's it no christmas trees I'm offended. People just need to stop attacking each other. What am I saying I'm a christian we've had wars for less.

Bang on.

Christian Christmas tree:----------- Atheist Christmas tree:
Angel on the top -------------------Star on the top
Candy canes------------------------Candy canes
Tinsel-------------------------------Tinsel
Toys--------------------------------Toys
Lights-------------------------------Lights


Big differences huh?

actually I have a thatch star on the top of mine. It's for the kids and I do explain it's meanings. I also have a nativity on the dining table. Maybe I should paint mine a darker color? No it's just a representation as most symbols are. If I made my own nativity I'd probably endeavor to color Jesus (If he does exist .. just got done reading another thread) a more aproximate color.. but the meaning wouldn't change. Do what's good for you and let them have what they want.

I love the racist Jesus

Actually, I have a star on top of mine, too. Does that make me an atheist?

Lol, that's funny. I put present holding monkeys in front of my house, but that doesn't mean that I believe in the present monkeys. If I put an angel on top of my tree that doesn't mean I give intellectual assent to their existence, but rather that I like angels, much as I like present giving monkeys.

I know.

Did I come across as being sarcastic in my last post? I really was just trying to be funny. Sometimes it is hard to get posts to come across like I want.

I thought you would just have a variety of different sized and coloured mushrooms for your xmas tree

[Rhizomorph13]

Lol, that would be awesome! I may have to craft up a gang of stained glass mushies for just such a purpose.
