Harry,
You have stated many times you celebrate the holiday of Christmas,
even
though you are not a Christian. I am sure I can Google it up very
easily.


I don't give a crap what you google up.
I'm not a Christian. I do not pray to or through Jesus, nor do I have
even
the slightest belief that Jesus was who Christians claim. I certainly
don't "celebrate the holiday" of Christmas in any sort of "Christian"
way.

Yes, I admire Christmas decorations, and I like a lot of the classical
Christmas music. I even sometimes go to a church for reasons you do not
know.

To be absolved of your sins you must in your heart truly repent.
Otherwise,
it is just you trying to buy your way into heaven.

That is not the reason he goes to church..............

"Narcissists are totally and inflexibly authoritarian. In other words,
they are suck-ups. They want to be authority figures and, short of that,
they want to be associated with authority figures. In their hearts, they
know they can't think well, have no judgment about what matters, are not
connected with the world they inhabit, so they cling fanatically to the
opinions of people they regard as authority figures -- such as their
parents, teachers, doctors, ministers. Where relevant, this may include
scientists or professors or artists, but narcissists stick to people they
know personally, since they aren't engaged enough with the world to get
their authoritative opinions from TV, movies, books or dead
geniuses/saints/heroes. If they get in trouble over some or another
opinion
they've put forth, they'll blame the source -- "It was okay with Dr.
Somebody," "My father taught me that," etc."




Christmas is just another day to me. If it falls during the week and
nothing is open that I want to or need to do, I sleep in. When I
worked
for The Associated Press, I always volunteered to work Christmas Day.
And
Easter Sunday. In those days, the union contract called for triple time
on
those days.

Why?
