Merry Christmas

And also with you.

"May peace be with you and also with you lift up your hearts ding-aling-aling"

The mass is ended
GO IN PEACE TO LOVE AND SERVE THE LORD!

Yeah it's pretty annoying
I went into mass one day and i was all like "dafuq?"

lol same here, even though they changed it to the same format used in Mexico for many years, so I wasn't that lost. Mexican Catholic Church: The hipster of the catholic churches.

Whole format? They only changed a few words and the songs for the parts of the mass. I wouldn't call that a change of the whole format.

The new translation is better anyway.

By the luxurious beard of Zeus! I am not the only one to say that!

That's a song, isn't it?

may you be touched by his noodly appendage.

R'amen.

how about no...

+1 for u

St. Nick begs to differ.

Making kids believe in a person who watched them 27/7 has a white long bear, and rewards or punished their behaviour seems like preparation for believing in....god..

I will celebrate christmas with my kids (presents,family reunions, christmas tree ect) but no kid of mine will believe in fairy tails regardless of age.

Same. I don't see what the big deal is.

THANK YOU...
If someone's so pathetic as to not say the name of a holiday just because it has the word "Christ" in it, they need to gtfo.

Actually, Christmas isn't celebrating of day when Jesus was born. Originaly it was day when pagan people were celebrating winter solstice

*Actually, December 25 is not the day that Jesus was born.

I fixed it for you. Just because that isn't the day it happened doesn't mean that we aren't really celebrating it.

nice one

wut

I hate 90% of Christmas music, the only music that is acceptable is Trans Siberian Orchestra, Peanuts, and Dreaming of a White Christmas. Everything else makes my ears bleed.

aaaaaawwww yeeeaaahhh.

white christmas every year! canada ftw

Weezer- Meri Kuri

Listen to corey taylor's XM@s

*roll image* I.FUCKING.LOVE.CHRISTMAS.MUSIC

**remmyd rolls 8,465** I lolled so hard at your picture.

It's ok thnx:)
Btw im rightnow celebrating christmas with my christians friends

lol u closed fuck minded

R'amen brother.

Merry Atheistmas.

you're thinking of jehovah's witnesses

Christmas was originally a HUMAN tradition so for atheist's it could be, merry Christmas

atheists celebrate holidays, Christmas isn't even christian

it was changed to X-mas because X is actually a variable haha

it has something to do with X being similar to the greek word for christ or something.. i forget. someone help me out here.

^Correct^
"Chi" is the first letter used to spell Christ in Greek, and it looks exactly like an "x".
If you've ever seen an x and a p laid over each other having something to do with Christianity, it's because the "p" is actually "Rho" and Chi and Rho (XP) are the first two letters used to spell Christ in Greek.

i thought it was x-mas because criss-cross and criss-mas sounds kinda like christmas... i know I'm retarded

Never mind boss , I'm Sorry

It's time John

I'm sorry John

**teenagedrebel rolls 20** Dubs and he dies. Singles and he dies.

I know! Religion is so ingrained in society that its impossible to separate it, so why not embrace it?

It's a classic Christmas song, and it shouldn't be changed to be politically correct. That's like changing "Dreidel dreidel dreidel" to "Spinning top, spinning top, spinning top."

yes i agree that wasnt the point of what i said. my point is dont tell people to suck it up, thats just rude. im all for singing christmas songs i do myself!

fuck you. by telling them to have a merry Christmas we are expressing to them that we hope they have a merry fucking christmas. we are not enslaving people or holding their rights down, OUR rights are being held down when we are forced to change the lyrics of a song EMBEDDED in our culture so as to not offend other butthurt cultures.

tl;dr op is a Richard Simmons, and we as christians are actually being stripped of our rights, not the other cultures

k

Saying Merry Christmas is no where near those examples you just gave. Holy fuck you are an idiot!

ok little boy, or grown man with a 5 year olds learning capacity. my point if, and its also very fucking clear, that if everyone told all the other religions and races to just suck it up, there would be only white christian males in this world. it's called being tolerant. which is my point.. you didnt need to come into this conversation and make yourself sound like a dumbass. my examples clearly show how if we all submitted to the dominant religion/race/gender, we wouldnt be getting any where! people need to recognize all the other religions and this time of year people need to acknowledge other holidays being celebrated, not just christmas. fuck you and have a nice night.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

classic response from someone who has no other argument and has conceded. you have no other points and know im right, so you brought out the dictionary and tried to sound like you're some what mature and have a wide vocabulary to verbally assault me. i love it when someone tries to challenge me and gets fucking scraped hahahahahaha

Rofl, this is the internet, you are not going to change peoples opinions. Also, no one thinks you are right. Now stop trolling cause you fail at it.

i agree, nobody will care what i have to say, but im showing that i have the balls to say it even though i know 20 people will come down on me and start raging how im stupid, simply b/c my beliefs are different. i also find it humorous that people think its getting to me that i have all red thumbs on all my comments, i could care less. just b/c some morons on the internet dont agree with me doesnt mean what im saying isnt 100% true. the people on here that try to act all tough and say my beliefs are dumb and they know more then me blah blah, are the little kids that get picked on so they come on here to try and reverse the roles. and you, im not trolling, and i dont "fail" at what im doing, you coming in here after all of this shows you're the type of person that tries to act all cool after everything is done and over with. you're the kid that comes in after the fight is over with 2 big kids and kicks the one that got beat up right in the face after hes been knocked out to try and make yourself seem tough. due us all a favor and fuck off

All i was saying is what you were comparing it too was ridiculous. Now you can go fuck off and stop being an asshole on the internet.

god would have more mercy if he existed but sadly that is a figment of your imagination . but aside from me having to say that I actually agree with what this guy is saying he actually made a fair amount of sense and I don't think he actually rambled one iota now if you couldn't understand him I think that has more to do with your low iq then his lack of intelligent statement .

Im not gonna be tolerant to something I don't believe in.
I'm a christian. I will say Merry Christmas
Suck it the fuck up.

dude you realize that none of the rituals used for christmas have anything to do with anything christian right ? the gift giving is from an old roman holiday , and most of the other ones are from yule .

yup completely agree.

it always amuses me when everyone is all like " it's jesus' birthday and we are christian " and others are all like " I can't celebrate that holiday I'm not christian " I mean I'm not christian but I'm not belittling the faith by saying that christmas is not really a christian holiday .

wow you are a very sheltered and rude kid. you dont believe in hannukah and kwanzaa? they arent some made up holiday, they're more real then christmas. think about it, christmas is to celebrate christ, and yet we put up christmas trees and decorations and give out presents? hanukkah is celebrated due to an actual meaningful event, after an attack on a town a temple was destroyed but a candle stayed lit all 8 days, so jewish people celebrate for those 8 days, jewish people have gone through more than WAY more than christians, and if you dont agree with me its because you have no knowledge of anything else besides what your parents brain washed you to believe in. you are going no where in life, and please thumb me down, the more red thumbs i get the more people i know ive educated and the more i know im right. fuck you for your intolerance. happy hannukah fâggot!

Lets not even stick to the original quotation... I was a little harsh last time. I more meant to say I am tolerant.
But we need to be able to say what we want.
Merry Christmas.

I don't really care if someone comes up to me and says Happy Hanukkah. I'm not gonna flip out. It's covering up the fact that I believe in something that pisses me off.

k thank you for that. my point is, this time of year isnt just Christmas time, its not fair to only say merry christmas b/c people do get offended whether we like it or not, i dont get offended if someone says happy hannukah to me kuz i just dont care, im not religious at all with any religion, i accept everyone. i do get your point now it was just hard to reason with you at first b/c you just sounded intolerant, but you ur good now

We don't need to go around changing words to song though. EVERYONE knows it as we wish you a merry christmas

yes i know, what your school did was wrong, all im saying is that you didnt need to say "suck it up" you could have just said it made you mad, your school should have just sang a jewish song to go along with it if they really wanted to show how they accept and recognize everyones religion

It's completely fair for a Christian to say Merry Christmas. It's not like we're telling Jewish people they have to say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Hannukuh. I don't know why you think you have any right to decide who's tolerant or not, because from what I've read, you seem like an extreme ignoramus.

Christmas gives me a winter break. Therefore I say Merry Christmas. Because I like Christmas (and the present giving =]). I ain't even Christian.

its not christmas, its not like the only reason we get a 2 week or 3 week break is because of christmas, its b/c of all the other holidays at this time of year, christmas is only one day and it definitely is not the only reason why we get a break

fact is that i find it hard to believe in a candle staying constantly lit for 8 days and considering how far back the holiday goes I would say that it would be hard to prove however christmas is not really a christian holiday as it is a collaboration of rituals from different pagan holidays and a roman holiday . obviously jews have gone through more as it is a far older religion . so that isn't saying much .

To paraphrase what the person above me said:

"I'm going to use my basic knowledge of Hannakuh that I learned in grade school to make myself seem better than you, and then go on to tell you how much more intelligent and educated I am, but in reality, I'm just a total dick!"

Also, I have no problem with black people at all, but seriously, fuck Kwanzaa. It was just made up in the 60's, it's not a real holiday.

hahaha good job my friend, making yourself seem like a complete dumbass! i have a very deep understanding of hannukah, and quite frankly you dont know shit about any holiday. christmas is a holiday where we hand out presents, sing songs about the snow and presents, and the major figure is a big fat man in a red suit that flies to kids houses and gives them presents. theres no meaning at all behind christmas, nothing relates back to why we celebrate it, Christ. he was born on this day and yet, we dont do shit to remember or thank him, and also, theres no factual evidence that Christ even existed, the whole damn bible could be fake but you're too brain washed to realize that. we dont know if Christ really was a miracle worker, but we believe it simply b/c it originated soooo long ago that it "must be true" fuck you, and i hope you enjoyed being slapped in the face with facts. goodbye.

And that's where you're wrong. The bible, whether or not you believe in it, never states that Christ was born on the 25th of November; in fact, context tells us that it was sometime during the late spring. I don't believe in the Bible for the most part, so you don't have to be a self-righteous douche and act like you know more than everyone because "you're enlightened and know there's no God, and everyone who follows a religion is brainwashed etc.". December the 25th was actually chosen by the pope at the time, I don't know his name. Since the pagan Yule, or winter solstice, was celebrated on the 21st, he picked the 25th for Christmas to compete with and attempt to convert the pagans.

im sorry but this whole thing ended a while ago... im not even guna respond to the trash that you just said. opinions are like assholes, every body has one, and you have a big asshole

Eh em...

"i remember when i was a little kid and used to say "dont respond i wont read" thats the first sign that you've given up and have no other argument and conceded.".

Sound familiar?

eh emm.... maybe you dont understand english very well... i said i wasnt going to respond to what you just said, in my response to what you said. i still responded to it, but i wasnt going to recognize that you mad yourself look like a dumbass. hey dipshit, this argument ended like 2 days ago, see ya

*December. Not sure why I said November.

.... So you are claiming Christmas pretty much has no meaning and that it really doesn't thank Christ or anything.

A few posts after claiming it is unfair to just say Merry Christmas?
You just proved yourself wrong. If Christmas was something that has no meaning, why would it offend anybody who celebrates another holiday?

> Claims to know EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN about Hannukah

> Rants about Christmas instead to distract the fact that you really don't know shit

You're a fucking idiot, don't reply because I won't read it. GTFO my internet and go be ignorant and simple minded somewhere else. Merry Christmas bitch.

hahaha your internet? way to contradict your whole argument. i never said i knew everything about every religion dumbass, stop pinning stuff on me then claiming i said it. thats a very clear sign of immaturity. oh and i remember when i was a little kid and used to say "dont respond i wont read" thats the first sign that you've given up and have no other argument and conceded. thank you for giving me an aneurysm due to the lack of intelligence in your whole argument, I WONT READ YOUR RESPONSE TO DONT EVEN BOTHER I WIN YOU LOSE INTERNET FIGHT GTFO MY INTERNET

you're the type of person that goes no where in life. you dont believe in other peoples rights but your own. you are cancerous to the world and we'd all be better off if INTOLERANT assholes like you dropped dead, right now
