Are we Hypocrits?

[easyrider]

Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have.


Most of celebrate Christmas and yet we don't believe in God or Jesus or anything.

I guess its the mad worls we live in.

 

[Raymond Lin]

I don't celebrate it

It's just an excuse to get presents, get together and get drunk.

Hands up those who actually said a prayer before their Christmas dinner?

 

[cm1179]

not at all. i'm not massively religous but i never lose focus on the meaning of christmas and easter but i still see it as a party time.

 

[JBuk]

I don't celebrate Christmas, I merely follow a tradition of getting drunk, eating loads & giving gifts one the 25th of December

 

[Sho]

Don't celebrate xmas.

 

[easyrider]

Don't celebrate xmas.

So you have had just a normal day?

 

[wannabedamned]

Its more commercial than religious now. Obviously the religious people still see it as such, but i celebrate Christmas for reasons nothing to do with the religion.

I believe more in the father Christmas aspect of Christmas! Atleast the spirit he gives to the day anyways.

Yep, it sure is a crazy worls.

Why?

The tradiition is clear enough. You taking part without believeing is contrived somewhat?

 

[Randomface74]

I don't believe in it - I don't celebrate it.

I will however eat an epic plate of food if someone makes it for me.
And I'll accept gifts, at any time. Thx.

So you have had just a normal day?

Yes. Been at home all day. Relaxing, playing around with my two little one's.
And of course been on Steam

Christmas stopped being about believing in anything religious a long, long time ago. Its almost as silly as saying "Do you not work on Sundays because you believe the bible, and God rested on the seventh day?".

No its not

Christmas by this notion is nothing but BS and you are a sheep then?

 

[Morba]

No Christmas tree or presents for the kids?

So you never gave any gifts?

 

[TheCenturion]

I've said this for a while now.

I'm not a christian - why should I celebrate christmas?

Also for Christians, the birth of Jesus is a very important event. I feel that people buying presents for each other, and snow, santa, blah blah blah, is not the best way to celebrate. However, this is an opinion and therefore can be debated

Santa & the Christmas holiday have little to do with Jesus, and the holiday existed prior to Christianity

And TheCenturion, Jesus (were he even real) would not have actually even been born today

 

[Randomface74]

So you never gave any gifts?

No - it's just me and my mum really, and we always agree to give it a miss because we don't believe in it.

Complete non-event in my house.

They will probably turn out well adjusted and polite.

Unlike some of the spoilt brats I have seen today.
