Christmas was originally a pagan holiday anyway. It wasnt until around the fourth century A.D. that the Roman Emperor Constantine Christianized the pagan holiday as to make it appealing to both Christians and pagans alike. So my position is that God looks at Christmas as an abomination either way you look at it since you are worshipping (unknowingly or not) gods other than the one true God.

Christmas has turned into something that all the stores use to make money, and sell us cheap shit that we wouldn't normally get. so whats the point?

I JUST LOVE THAT ANALOGY 'GIFTMAS'' .BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT HAS BECOME..NOW THERE ARE TWO LIES THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH..

THE FIRST LIE IS THAT JESUS WAS BORN ON DEC 25TH. AND NOW THE REAL TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS...THERE IS ONLY ONE WINNER IN THIS THE MERCHANTS'' MANY ARE STILL SLAVES TO THE CHURCH AND ITS LEADERSHIP FILLED WITH CORRUPTION AND LIES. MANY ARE CONFUSED EVEN ABOUT WHAT IS CLEARLY WRITTEN AND NOT WRITTEN IN SCRIPTURES..

GIFTMAS IF I MAY BURROW THAT EXPRESSION IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN SCRIPTURES AND IS VERY MUCH ASSOCIATED WITH PAGANISM AND HIS NOTHING TO DO WITH PURE WORSHIP TO THE ONE TRUE GOD OR CHRIST JESUS...

.IF THE FOCUS OF GIFTMAS WAS 20% OF WHAT THEY CLAIM IT IS ABOUT WE WOULD HAVE LESS BREAK UPS IN THE FAMILY BECAUSE SOMEBODY FORGOT TO BUY A GIFTMAS GIFT.OR SOMEONE DIDN'T MAKE HOME FOR THE GIFTMAS

.THE FOCUS WOULD BE ON WORSHIPING GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS..THEY ALSO CLAIM IT IS ABOUT FAMILY BUT THIS IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN MORE FAMILIES ARE TORN APART THAN ARE TOGETHER IN THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT IT WAS INTENDED..

I COULD BE AS A RESULT OF MANY OVER DRINKING ,ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF IT

YES. IT HAS TRULY LOST MOST OF ITS RELIGIOUS MEANING '' BUT KEEP IN MIND SOMETHING THAT MANY RELIGIOUS LEADERS WOULD READILY ADMIT..''JESUS NEVER TOLD HIS DISCIPLES TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY.. DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME'' HIS DEATH'' ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE.

. A FOUNDATION BUILT ON LIES CANNOT LAST FOREVER.

There never was any religious significance barring distant pagan roots.

Christianity tries to tell us that this was the day that jesus was born so we should rejoice and praise God and be happy but it tells you that jesus was conceived in July or something so there is no way jesus could have been born in december and lived. christmas has turned into something places like Myers and Target make fuckloads of money from.

I don't think it has lost it's religious meaning to those who celebrate it that aren't the shop owners that hold those major Christmas blowout sales.

I still see it as the birthday of Jesus Christ.

When you examine the roots and origins of the holiday, it never had any religious meaning to begin with.

Side: Never had any

Mithra (born on December 25th long before Christians decided to pretend Jesus was born on that date), is the reason for the season.

Praise Mithra!
