Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Christ so what's with this
'merry' crap?

The Online dictionary definition:

mer·ry
adj. mer·ri·er, mer·ri·est
1. Full of high-spirited gaiety; jolly. 2. Marked by or offering fun
and gaiety; festive: a merry evening. 3. Archaic Delightful;
entertaining.
4. Brisk: a merry pace.


It seems to me this 'merry' Christmas crap is just another way for
non-believers to take over and marginalize the true meaning of
Christmas. It seems to me Christ's birth should be celebrated with
solemn thanks to our Lord for giving his only begotten son that those
who believe in Him may have everlasting life.

Getting drunk on spirits and getting bloated on too much food is
debauchery. Is it proper to gives thanks to the Lord's ultimate
sacrifice by engaging in sinful behavior? Making Christmas all about
human vices seems to me to be very antithetical, blasphemous and sinful
and no way to get to Heaven.



You just HATE Christmas.

Keep your religion to yourself (as instructed to do in your bible) and no
one will bother you. Real simple.




As usual you know nothing, Pandora. And, you appear to know even less about
the Bible.

As Christians, the Bible says to NOT to keep Christianity to ourselves.
Rather, the Bible teaches us to spread our religion throughout the world.

Matthew 28:18 - And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 -Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 - Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.

Mark 16:15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.

It is plain as day that Christians are tasked to spread the Gospel.

Heh. I'm actually enjoying being alone today as I just spent the entire
weekend with 20 of my family. We ate, opened gifts, talked, drank a lot
of wine and enjoyed one another's company. It was a special weekend as
our son and his wife and daughters drove all the way from Reno, Nevada to
spend the weekend with us. We had a wonderful time. Sorry you didn't.

I hate the secular version of Christmas because it disrespects my religion.

Does calling women "kunts" venerate your religion, Greg?

Santa Claus is held in higher esteem than my Lord and that sticks in my
craw.

As evidenced by all the churchs to Santa. Right.

They call them toy stores.


Where Santa's image is left up all year and venerated; where people sing
his praises all year long; where they get into bloody, pulpit-pounding
doctrinal fights about what his writings mean for eternal salvation/

Right.
