[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends, none of this is important.  None of it matters.  It doesn't matter what you believe, or what beliefs you make fun of.  All that matters is what is true.

It is possible Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our Savior, hallelujah, hallelujah.

It is possible Christmas is ultimately meaningless, because there was no Jesus, or he was not who he claimed to be.

If the former is true, everything matters.

If the latter is true, nothing matters.

That's the conversation we should be having this time of year--not about who gets to celebrate what, but whether there is actually something to celebrate at all.

Peace to all, goodwill to mankind.

I think Jesus was who he claimed to be... I don't think he was who various authors writing years/centuries later claimed him to be. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea for one example of what I'm referring to.)

OP, if you're surrounded by people who make fun of you for your religious belief, maybe you need new friends, or think about how you're presenting yourself. Seriously. I've veered around from Christian to agnostic and back and forth my entire life, and no one has ever made fun of me (or, no one has to the point that I feel all pouty and oppressed about it). Time for an attitude adjustment, sister.

Merry Christmas! ;)[/quote]
