Is Christmas A Religious Holiday ?

[BanGinji]

Then it's not celebrating Chritmas anymore. Christmas is a day in wich we give special honor to our God and celebrate his birth. You do not celebrate it by going to a strip club. You are basically stating that you can celebrate God's birthday without God in it. A paradox beyond any other.

cel·e·brate
ˈseləˌbrāt/Submit
verb
1.
publicly acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity

Since it doesn't stop being Christmas day just because a person doesn't believe in Christ, any celebratory act on such day would be celebrating Christmas. There are plenty of ways to celebrate that does not involve religious influence. ergo, you can celebrate God's birthday without God in it.

If it were your birthday and i knew it and with that purpose i threw a party but for whatever reason i didn't invite you or anyone you knew, it would still be celebrating your birthday. kinda dumb, mean, disrespectful, etc. but totally possible and debatable as to it being paradoxical or not.

Jesus peace be uppon him is not born 25 December.It's an insult to give him the same birthday as Mithra.

And yes it's a religious day celebrated by satan worshipers and unconsciously by others.

Any person who considers themselves a "christian", and has not come to the realization that christmas is a pagan holiday, jesus was not born on December 25th, and the fact that Jesus did not die on easter -- and still considers them a "christian", they seriously need to brush up on theology and the bible in general, nuff said.

if my bday falls on a Thursday this year but i celebrate it on the following Saturday does it not count for anything?

 

[Forbidden Tale]

this applies only for christians.

if you do some research, you'll see that 25th December is the date of birth for other deities too.

You know, all Christians aren't Catholics, i don't celebrate December 25th.

About pagan festival topic:
As long as i know 23rd december is date of that pagan festival.

Also, i could be wrong, but i think that you compare two different calendars, old and new, Julian and Gregorian.

Christmas is a religious day if you're religious. If you are not religious it is just a holiday.
