Banned because that's illogical.
You're ruining my depression... I prefer to troll around forums and bug people and not have them come up with a ridiculous response.
Fun is hardly a consistent reason for doing something, in terms of looking at people's ethical and moral reasons.
Why don't you believe in God?
Several common atheist views:
1. if God existed he would show himself to me and then I would believe
2. if God existed then the world would be a perfect place
3. I don't care
4. What reasons do you have that I should?
Believing in God is a faith-based idea, and I believe in him not because it's convenient, but because I hope for better things than this life.
Isn't the entire point of Christmas to celebrate the coming of the Savior to the world?
Henry David Thoreau in his work, Civil Disobedience, stated that man has an obligation to follow the decrees of their consciences. If your conscience has decreed that God doesn't exist, then follow that.
If you don't believe in Christ, then DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS.
I am not looking to exclude people, but it REALLY IRKS ME that people don't believe in Christ and go all crazy around Christmastime.
I know, I know, this is a free country, and you can do what you wish, but honestly think about it, I don't celebrate Jewish holidays because I'm not Jewish, but then why would you or anyone celebrate Christmas if you're not Christian?
It's fun...?
Don't let me spoil your parade, but fun doesn't cut it.
Should I go and get drunk because it's fun?
Absolutely not. Why? Because I don't believe that alcohol is an acceptable usage of my time. My conscience has decreed to me that alcohol is unacceptable.
Your conscience has decreed that Christ doesn't exist. Why? That's up to you. But you have an obligation to follow your conscience, and does your conscience tell you that it is fine to celebrate Christmas? If it doesn't bother you, then you are sadly ignorant of the "true meaning of Christmas" and all that jazz.
[RANT 4 OVER]
Now I am going to go sit in my dark corner and be all depressed. Have fun.
