ORIGINAL: MrsWargamer Sometimes I seriously wonder how some of you can even manage to accomplish any real measure of potential for challenge as an opponent with such lack luster capacity to reason out a comment. Ok Santa does NOT come to all of the boys and girls of the world, even though that's part of the whole silly notion. Christmas is not an event to the greater majority of the global population to begin with. If you consider China and India basically not Christian populations and that is 2/3 of humanity right there eh. Santa is after all predominantly a Christian obsession. And yes, we all know, just about the entire event is originally of pagan origins. They call it Christmas, and I bet most actually DO think Christ was born on December 25th. But considering what mainstream Christianity actually does believe in, nothing shocks me any more :) But then, most also probably expect Christ looks Caucasian as well. The entire Christian event is almost entirely a fabrication. Sometimes I find myself wanting to do repeated facepalms when I hear of people getting so upset over the way the Christian event of Christmas is being treated. But really, it's as Christian as any other day of the year. The day was picked for only one reason, to usurp a pagan event, and steal it for their own. I'm not Christian, but, I don't have any issues with them picking the 25th to make their fuss over him. I do think it's kinda funny though, how easily people become Christian, the moment they're told that they have to work that day :) Then suddenly their work is impinging on their god given rights :) It's also kinda sad the other religions can't justify days off of work. But I suppose if you satisfied all of them, no one would ever get anything done :) Google often has all sorts of reasons why a day should me remembered for some special reason :) Well, you certainly took this thread to a low point. Was not my intent, but Warspite doesn't seem to endure being wrong well :) Which is essentially his cross to bear. Nice as the chat is though, I have tarts to bake, cookies to bake and baking in general to do :) Because regardless of the justifications, people expect a nice meal to appear on the 25th, and I enjoy eating it too :) And remember, the reason for the season is actually axial tilt :) warspite1 Au contraire dear. I am often wrong, about a lot of things too, so I am quite used to the feeling. However, I am at a total loss to understand what on earth you are waffling on about. You said, and I quote, "more of this planet is NOT Christian than Christian and as such, it's again, a pointless event". That comment is about as nonsensical as its possible to get. Because your average Chinese or Mongolian or Japanese or Indian or whatever are not Christian, you say Christmas is a pointless event. Right..... Not sure why you folks even reply to this troll.... just gives credence to statements that otherwise have none. Cheers, Nate
