They can't be serious....

Avoiding certain stores cuz of their music?

Get a life

My sister is a Jehovah Witness. She sounds like these people. Has avoided our family like the plague for every holiday for the last 10 years.

My mom calls her on her birthday every year and I send her a Christmas card. :D

yes i believe you did read it wrong. partially because it was written poorly. they are not following the pagan religion, they are celebrating a celestial event as an excuse to party at this time, having no god. it just so happens that pagans chose this day as a holy day.

That's a little different though. It is specifically AGAINST their religion to celebrate anything. It's not that they just don't believe in a certain holiday's origin.

No it is not. They do not have a religion, so it cannot be against it.
Specifying a day of gathering and celebrating each other has no religious undertones.

I wonder if they scream out "Oh Me!" during sex?:?:

But you don't totally turn your back because they believe something else.

She has relented a bit. My mother fell down a 50 foot embankment, breaking her shoulder and arm. My sister didn't go to church for 3 weeks because she'd stayed with my mom while she was recovering. The church reprimanded her for missing her designated "door knocking" time. Our mother was 80 when she went down that hill. :bash:

I was talking about people who follow the Jehovah's Witness religion. Not the atheists. :wink:

Yeah, they really are teh suck no doubt about control and whatnot.

Fine, complain about it then. LOL

Of course they aren't celebrating the pagan religion. They are just using the pagans as a reason to make fun of the christians by mentioning them stealing a lot of their traditions.

They could careless about the celestial event. The pagans and the christians have made this a culturally accepted time to celebrate and they don't want to feel left out so they are reaching for anything to try to make it acceptable for them to fit in with the people who do celebrate the holiday.

Christmas has been marketed to everyone now, might as well just celebrate it if you want to party and shut up. It's a mix mash of traditions and religions, might as well throw a little atheism in there too.

I can fix this right here. FUCKING MOVE
