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.

Please build yourself a time machine and go back a couple of thousand
years and tell Jesus NOT to turn that water and just leave it as wine.
There's just so much you could tell him...

I pray that God will strike you and your kind down as in the days of
Lot. I want the Devil to personally force feed you his feces. I want
you to choke to death 1000X on the molten crap that flows from Satan's
anus.

Ah, it is such an honor to meet a xian who loves his neighbours
and in an argument turns the other cheek.
Who loves others like Jezus did.......

Now that "choke-to-death on hot molten crap from Satan's anus" is that
old time religion I was praying for, and hoping I wouldn't miss if I
took my sweet time to read thru all this xmas rigmarole you guys are
sweating about, thank you lord and HALLELUJAH for not disappointing
me.

Now If I didn't find it, I was going to have leave on some some lame
observation I made about somebody here saying "that religion depends
on good relationships with people" or something to that effect as
cited below ... but what do I know ... it's been a long time since
I've been to divinity school NOT!

money was made. *One day the woman appeared at the door and told the

At this point the woman was ready to hear the story of Jesus.

So the woman had it exactly right.
Christians *give* for reason/expectation.
There is her expectation of your mocking
her common sense. Fruit of her seeing straight
through the usual shallow christian ****.

We give of ourselves, we expect nothing in return and we wait for them
to come to us.

Full up on contradiction in just a single sentence.
Not so amazing as it is, ****tards fail
at seeing the message in the utterings
they make in the name of saving themselves.
Again, an expectation of that brand of "giving".
This christian **** really is a dum****ers trip.

I can see how you would interpret in that way. *You see it as someone
paying someone to hear the word of Christ. *I see it as no
obligation. *Had the woman never come over to ask why the couple gave
her the money, it would have been left at that, a random act of
kindness. * And if that is all that is acheived, that the woman
realizes that strangers can care, then that is also, as Scientologists
put it, a win. * If the woman comes over to ask why, telling the woman
that the couple was influenced by the example set by Jesus, does not
brainwash her into instantly becoming a Christian. *Someone with a
long history of poor relationships with people is not going to jump
gung ho into a religion.

There is no payment expected back from the woman. The help is
genuine. *If she asks why, she is told and she has the ability to
decide whether the story is real or not, and again as Scientologists
put it, is true for her.

Note to self: now don't get Scientologists and Christian Scientists
mixed up.
