It MOSTLY came from Paganism, with, sure a few Jewish bits.

Pointless to bray any more breath with some of you people. I follow a Faith that my family line has followed for centuries, you choose to not follow that Faith and that is your own will. Quite frankly I am glad to see that this thread is now less about insulting Jesus Christ with this pathetic "HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY" nonsense and just people wasting each others times.

So goodnight, Western and Eastern Christians, and of course those of Judaism I hope you have an enjoyable and sociable Easter Sunday. For the rest of the you, I hope you can calm yourselves and have a sliver of respect for your fellow human beings.

Flee, fallacious flagellant! Fie!
Condescending coward!
Vile, virulent- vehemently verbose villain!

It amuses me that whenever a creationist numpty such as this gets his back intellectually against the wall, and people bring evidence to bear ... They run away and resort to their usual fallacies, after their long-debunked rubbish they try to pose as philosophical or statistics-based evidence are blown apart.

Oh well. Good riddance.

Happy Zombie Lich Jesus day to all. < Willing to change to fit the evidence.

Yeah, thanks. Just slight the Muslims, European Pagans, Taoists, Buddhists, Hindus, various cultists, folk religion-ists (Shinto, etc.), Mormons, Baha'ists, and more.

Who's culturally superior now, eh?
If you say so, you know within that it was not my goal to insult Muslims, European Pagans, Taoists, Buddhists, Hindus, various cultists, folk religion-ists (Shinto, etc.), Mormons, Baha'ists, and more.

Please don't do this. Please.

Yes, I get the day matches up with Pagan stuff, but it also matches up with the Jewish Festival of Lights, so it's not necessarily Pagan.

Does anyone else here find a sort of detachment between the Christmas you grew up with and the Christmas you hear about from Christians?
Let me clarify, when I was a child Christmas was A Christmas Carol, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, spending time your family, enjoying time off from work/school, Santa Claus, Jack Frost, Frosty the Snow Man.

In the movie A Christmas Carol, what did the Ghost of Christmas Present say Christmas was all about?
Peace on Earth and good will towards man. THAT'S Christmas. I don't need any virgin birth to make this special, it already IS special.

Sorry bout that J&D, wasn't ranting at you.

When did we exist, how do we know the exact date of when the universe was created.

Because of the decay of radiation, the slow expansion of the universe at a steady rate, and the fact that the big bang is still affecting instruments in a way easily extrapolated from Much like the doppler effect combined with knowledge of the pitch at rest can easily give the speed of the object.

Oh, it's fine.

I sort of keep the two separate, the secular Christmas and the Christian one. I do my own quiet little reverence, and then I spend my time with the family in the secular way because, hey, they're not religious, but I still love'em and the secular Christmas.
