Kind of the other way around, considering Christmas traditions vary wildly all the world around.

I could very easily say that God created this relationship between the Sun and the Plants for a very special reason.

Then the cycle repeats itself with neither side being swayed because the Theists versus Atheists argument is one of the oldest and is basically impossible for either side to convince the other.

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.

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

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.Heirosoloa wrote:The Akkadian Empire wrote:GG? What?

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?

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.
