Siris Wrote:I always celebrate Christmas on Christmas day. I always enjoy it but this year I will be kind of down Because I am away from all my friends and family in the states since I am in japan. Still should be a good time though.
I would like to say however, that Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus or god. It was a pagen holiday that was coverted to Catholic when emporer constantine converted the masses to christian. If you are truely christian and follow god's teaching from the bible you should celebrate christmas or a few of the other holidays.
If anyone cares to repute what I have givin then a new thread shall need to be start as this is niether the time nor the place for such a thing. I shall, however, enjoy disputing this further if anyone wished.
Natural progression huh? You must not of saw his last paragraph. Seeing as he was the first to mention it, as if trying to piss someone off, he determines where it heads. And he said for it not to go farther in this thread.

What most of us had to say on the subject was mixed. In fact there are what two responses to what Siris said? Jedi talked about what Christmas meant to him, in fact the whole "Jesus wasn't born in December" part of the discussion was started by Aemath. My comment didn't warrant a seperate thread as it was only a clarification of someone else's information. Frankly I think it makes the thread more interesting than just, "Do you celebrate on the 24th or the 25th?"

That's fine and all. But thats what the flame room is for. The OP really doesn't give a **** about how you think the holiday really is. Just asking what day do you celebrate. Saying how you celebrate is the progression of the thread.

Anyway, for one who's *****ing about it being offtopic, you sure are contributing.

The Steam Room? We're not flaming anyone or ranting about anything. We're pointing out facts, you're the one turning this into a thread that belongs in the Steam Room.
Seriously Blue, you need to go get some friends or something because clearly this forum means way too much to you with how butt hurt you get all the time.

I saw he said he'd make a new topic. I wrote him a message on his profile telling him to make it and he didn't right away, so I threw down some postage anyway. I'll make an attempt to steer it back on topic, though.
I celebrate on the morning of the 25th. It's tradition. I dun open any presents on the Eve, either. I like it all at once. (that's what she said)

I go to midnight mass. Then I travel to various houses and celebrate with various parts of my family.
And thanks Spoon for the observation. Yes, I'm oh so upset about you two being tools. No one cares about the so called "facts" of Christmas.

Sorry. I want to start a new thread but I have been so busy lately. I want to pull up facts and references, but the Marine Corps has taken all my time. I will start a thread day after tomorrow with all my facts.
And Nethran, sorry man. I wan't ignoring you, but like I said, I have been unbelievable busy. I start one as soon as I have time.
And I would like to say the discussion on history thread should not be in the flaming thread. It is a good discussion that should resort to petty arguing. I present what facts I have and what I believe to be true and others can choose to either believe or no, to dispute or not. I think Blue just wants to start trouble and has nothing real to say.

I'm a tool? You're the one who believes every word a bunch of dead people claiming they were telling the word of God tell you.
Seriously, we were discussing civily until you came in and started your freaking roid-rage or whatever is wrong with you. Nobody was attacking you and your religion, we were pointing out things about the history of the holiday and you had to go and turn it into a flame thread. Seriously, you do realize while you're sitting there acting high and mighty thinking that you "got me" or something...everyone reading this is laughing at you and your pathetic attempts to squash and insult any attempt to say something you disagree with.
People like you are a waste of my oxygen.

Roid-rage? I think you have it backwards. I came in here and barely said a couple words, and the people discussing it civilly were all over me like I was raw meat. In that you felt you had to justify your point so much that you wouldn't let it go. You say I'm obsessed, but you write this whole essay just to try and cut me down. Yes, indeed you do have it backwards.

This old arguement again?
You're beating a dead horse, this is the same thing you pull up everytime.
You are in fact the reason this thread turned out this way, but i'm not even going to discuss it with you, because you just pull the same old same old "OMG EVERYONE ATTACKS EVERYTHING I SAY" shit.
Attempt this sort of idiocy again in any thread and you'll be on a short holiday.
I ain't kidding.
No further discussion.
Let's try and turn this around instead of letting it get wasted by one egotistical git eh?

You're right! The same shit goes down the same way. We argue over two different points, my little posts get you so aggravated you make huge ass big posts, and eventually someone comes in calls me obsessive and that I care so much. You do't realize how repetitious you are?
But obviously you arnt attacking me. I never heard one diss from you, not until that thread. I say the truth, would you like me to quote it?
(BTW: "You" was not necessarily meaning you, Aemaeth, in the first paragraph.)
