Poll: Should Christ b removed from Christmas?

[Freefaller]

Should Christmas be renamed? No.

Should Kedge be removed? No, let's bring some forgiveness - but lock his thread? Yes.

 

[Redz]

but lock his thread? Yes.

But it is the season to be jolly.

 

[Freefaller]

Good point well made. Lols are good.

A more important question is what do I put on top of my non-religious holiday tree?

 

[Fulax]

but how cunning is he?

Kedge is quite the debater, though. A master, in fact.

This isn't based on much more than unreliable websites, but I was under the impression that there are numerous similarities between christianity and pagan religions. A quick google certainly shows lots of Christan websites trying to argue why this is not the case, which implies to me that there has to be some truth to it or they wouldn't waste the time.

Can a mod rename kedge as Christ B?

This, this and some more of this.

There are extreme similarities between Christ and about 15 other saviors and deity's that all pre-date the story of Christ.

Of course you wont find mention of these in any church or christian teachings.

I think we shouldn't remove Christ, we should remove the oppressive way we do Christmas - the fact that it's rammed down our throats from November, the subliminal message of "spend spend spend", the rage inducing Christmas music everywhere. It's not religious anymore, it's all about consumerism and labelled Christmas. [/rant]

 

[Cosimo]

Christmas stays, Kedge gets locked.

Threads like these always make me glad there is a GD.

Where the hell do these people come from?

Bravo anyway OP. Because of you, now there are 2 people who know the truth, that's a 100% increase from yesterday!

I shall spread the word immediately!

I do find it amusing that a lot of people didn't understand he meant to write 'be'

Christ B lol

Really?

I think everyone knew but Kedge having the track record he does, chose to play along.

 

[Frightful Boar]

Wow, 198 people too clever and cool for Christmas. Genuinely surprised.

 

[Pestilence]

So we'll just call it "mas" from now on?

It amused me to find Romans making the same complaints about Saturnalia ~2000 years ago. Apart from the music, anyway.

 

[pitchfork]

I can't think of anything I care less about.

If some weirdo christian fundies want to believe the earth is flat who am I to stop them.

How about No mas, like breaking bad.

 

[ToxicTBag]

Amen to that
