Well, seeing that I'm given time off and all, I suppose that my observing Xmas is mandatory, unless I want to go into work and kick around an empty building.

Really, this is a very self-important question. It presumes that Christmas is a non-trivial event in the lives of non-Christians. Suggesting that non-Christian observance of Christmas is de facto hypocricy presumes that non-Christians are against Christmas; to such a mind, if you do not love Jesus, you must hate Him. The kind of Christian who would ask this question cannot imagine a world where the Christ of the Bible does not exist, much less matter at all.

But many non-Christians do see Christmas as the equivolent of a local custome. Many non-Christians have nothing particulary against Christianity and so partake happily in the Christmas tradition without being in the least hypocritical.

I think the kind of Christian who would ask this question is deep in the throes of his/her persecution complex--Why do you hate the baby Jesus? type deal--all non-Christians hate Christ/are of Satan/are unrepentant and therefore wedded to evil.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

Yeah well, it sounds like you're presuming a lot too.

Technically, the author of this thread didn't say anything about practicing Christmas as a custom or even a whole lot pertaining to Christmas. He asked a pretty straightforward question with a pretty straightforward answer. Now, I don’t know what the hell his point is, but maybe you’d like to wait and hear his point before you start bad-mouthing the kind of Christian you think he is.

when i was quickly reading your comment, i totally read "kick around an empty building" as "kick a puppy".

Happy Festivus!

You’re point was to propose a textbook example of hypocrisy with no underlying context? Doesn’t that sort of make this thread a waste of time? You could have just looked 'hypocrite' up in the dictionary.

AHH... THE SECRET HISTORY OF XMAS

Quote:



"Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen.
For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They deck it with silver and with gold;
they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
They are upright as the palm tree.
Every man is brutish in his knowledge.
My tabernacle is spoiled.
For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD:
therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not."
-Jeremiah 10 (KJV)

For 100s of years it was illegal to celebrate Xmas, according to the Puritans who ran the British and American colonial governments.

Christ Mass is celebration of the Jewish Sanhedrons' murder of Rabbi Jesus, according to the Catholic church.

Yule logs (Feast of the Dead) were made from the fat of child sacrifice, just like Jack-o-lanterns on Halloween.

The US Supreme Court ordered that Christmas has nothing to do with Christianity (Lynch v. Donnelly, 465 U.S. 668, March 5, 1984).

Christmas was historically a pagan orgy for Saturnalia, aka Satan (aka Santa).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia



Xmas is Satan's birthday, according to Jewish Christians.

Xmas trees represents Satan's penis. Xmas wreaths represent Satan's vagina. Satan's an hermaphrodite, BTW. What does that say about pagans?
www.fossilizedcustoms.com/asherah.html

85% of artificial xmas trees are manufactured in Communist China, which outlaws Christianity under penalty of death.

9-million US citizens are suffocated every year by cutting down Christmas trees.

George Bush Jr's ancestor President Franklin Pierce was the first to put an Xmas tree in the White House.

Bush Jr forbids any mention of Jesus on the official White House Christmas card.
www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42027

Bush Jr's official Air force One Xmas tree ornament is the Jewish Satanic Star of Soloman. Jewish King Soloman had 700 wives and built temples to Molech in Jerusalem, so the Jews could perform child sacrifice. The Star of Soloman was adopted by the Satanic Rothschilds as their family crest, then the Rothschilds illegally invented Israel and made it the Israeli flag.

Jewish Rabbis say Israel has no right to exist.

Bush worshiped Adolf Hitler and masterbated naked in a coffin at Yale Skull & Bones, performs ritual "simulated" human sacrifice to a 50-foot-tall idol of Molech at Bohemian Grove, and carries a Jewish Babylonian Talmud to class in the White House with Rabbi Ari Fleischer and Rabbi Dov Zakheim.

The Talmud requires beheading of all Christians for blasphemy with Rabbi Jesus who is burning in Hell in excrement, according to the Jews.

I think it's hypocritical for those who follow a religion where they are commanded to love their enemies and not to judge to act like hate filled judgemental jerks.

That's hypocrisy.

No more hypocritical than non-Irish people celebrating St. Patricks Day by wearing green and eating corned beef every March 14th, or non-Pagans carving pumpkins and dressing up in costumes for a party for Halloween on October 31st.

You don't happen to celebrate either of those do you?

I don't believe in God, but I still celebrate holidays like Christmas and Easter with my family, not because of what they represent to Christians, but what they represent to American society. A time for us to reflect on what is really important in this world. Family and friends. I look at those holidays as another Thanksgiving.

I was thinking of the reason for the question in the first place. It seems to me that some Xtians are afraid of the secularization of Christmas. They feel that if you celebrate the holiday you must accept all the baggage that comes with it; there is a feeling of ownership attached to the merry-making. I guess they must feel that it's one way to get people to accept Xtianity: place a bit of food, shiny gifts and twinkly lights in a trap.
