The True Meaning of The 25th Of December

[emjay]

It must be horrible growing up with a birthday on or near Christmas... even if you did get two rounds of presents somehow I doubt they'd be of the same individual quality as if the dates were far apart, and if there were expectations of that, there would probably be an unfair and irrational attribution of greediness on the unlucky child's part. Ie waiting six months for one good present and another six months for another good present should be the same as waiting twelve months for two good presents but somehow I doubt it plays out like that in most cases.

I am currently alone eating a whole tub of strawberry ice cream to myself.

It's the true meaning of Xmas.

I remember hearing it was estimated Jesus would have been born in March. I have no idea if I'll be able to find a source for that now.

But I'm also born in March.

I'm not saying I'm Jesus. That is for other people to say.

Well I haven't seen you and Jesus in the same room together. That has to be worth something.

Recently I was in a busy queue and I accidentally stepped on the foot belonging to the guy in front of me and just as I was about to say "sorry" he yelled "JESUS CHRIST!".

I rest my case.

If we've got the correct year of his birth then through celestial events we can determine he was born on Dec. 25th. [...]

Horsesh*t. 

I've tried for the past two Christmas seasons to get some unbeliever to get a copy of the dvd, The Star of Bethlehem and take a serious attitude going into it, but no one has and I guess no one will. Makes me feel like people are afraid of science because that is what's used to test the Bible story of Jesus birth and death.

LOL...

Hey, buddy - you can beat your meat to whatever propaganda nonsense you want - during the holidays, or otherwise. Those movies are made for you and by dimwitted a**holes like you, with no understanding of science and only interested in proselytizing and circle-jerking. There's an idiotic video made for everything nowadays and selling Jesus crap to dipsh*ts is a great business.

Have yourself a Happy Pagan Holiday, numbnuts...

Now here's a person who goes about the day in fear of the science he claims to believe in, can't even muster the strength to see it in action, fear is the killer to understanding.

Shouldn't parents be teaching their children to be grateful for any gift they recieve, wouldn't that keep them from disappointment at the very least and a life of great gratitude at best.

No more apologetic nonsense, G-C.  Signs and portents in the skies were important to ancient superstitious clods.  Today, not so much.
