i may be an atheist, but i'm not a political correctness gone mad tosser

it will always be Christmas, as to whether people celebrate the mass of Christ...doubt it, more people will be celebrating the film of Bond

meh

it's a pagan festival anyway for winter solstice, highjacked by christianity and then by the god of Mammon, the prevailing forces of the time in Britain

Pre-Victorian times the Church tried to have Christmas banned because of its pagan links & because it has traditionally been a time of debauchery & celebration.

They failed because human beings like celebrating & being debaucherous, but the church at the time certainly distanced themselves from it. The bollocks about it being a Christian festival is a fairly recent thing.

The Church has a lot to answer for. I'm not religious, Macky, I just believe in Jesus Christ. That's my choice. I celebrate the birth of Jesus at Christmas as a mark of respect. I hope you have a great Christmas. Not really sure what you believe but you've obviously got a lot against the church. I'm not a big fan of churches either. They seem to focus on money more than God. :icon_conf

I'm not religious in that i don't follow the dictates of the church blindly. I believe in God. God can be anywhere, not just in some church. I believe in JC, without him I would have no spiritual life. I believe in treating others as you would want to be treated. I believe that LCFC will beat Hull this weekend. :icon_bigg
