  1. The gifts say "xmas". Okay, really? Stop taking Christ out of everything. It's Christmas, not xmas. Jesus ia the reason for the season.

    Yeah, i'm also going to six flags, so I won't be on at all today. :)
     
  2. Thanks for heads up noob. I'll farm you til you get back :lol:
     
  3. :) Have fun getting through pot max, along with me farming back. .-. Gonna get the emotion app, real quick.
     
  4. With my big account :lol:
     
  5. .-. I'm too weak. Hopefully.
     
  6. I doubt it.
     
  7. The reason for the season... Idk. I associate winter with snow, not Jesus. :p
     
  8. >.> Errm, "christ"mas, Jesus "Christ". .-. Christmas, jesus' birth.
     
  9. Errrr, the season is called winter 
     
  10. Happy holidays everybody. 
     
  11. .-. Your arguement is still invalid. I don't mean to preach, but God created everything, and Jesus is second to the trinity.
     
  12. Actually "Christmas" has absolutely nothing to do with "Christ".

    Back in the 1800s Roman Catholicism and Paganism were the 2 major religions at the time. The fought over believers. So instead the Roman Catholic Church adopted the pagan holiday of the winter solstice. On December 21-25 (depending on the year) it'd be the longest day of darkness. So the pagans would worship the returning of the sun on this day. So to convert the pagans to Christianity the adopted this holiday and said Christ was born on this day.
    In fact according to facts based of the bible Christ was born sometime in April - May.

    Therefore Christmas has nothing to do with Christ. So it is ok to say X-mas.

    Learn your facts before making foolish comments 
     
  13. This is not disrespectful to put the X in Xmas. The X is actually the Greek letter chi, the first letter in the Greek "Christ". The term "Xmas" has been used for hundreds of years starting around the early 1600's. It also means "the anointed one". So putting an X is not disrespectful. It's actually following a tradition that dates back further than you care to realize. Open a book first instead of your mouth and stop being ignorant.
     
  14. Yes, I know he was bornin april(ish). .-. How would everyone feel if they abbreviated a religious holiday? like: Qza.
     
  15. But reason for the season rhymes, you can't argue with logic like that
     
  16. Not 1800s earlier than that (for my previous comment)
    Lol. I think like 1400s or so
     
  17. Also: Some people aren't religious so, they may not want to say "Christ"mas. So some people can say Xmas if they choose to. Also, it's a free world. ,_,
     
  18. Not everyone here is Christian, but people still celebrate stuff like christmas
