Question from an ignorant atheist: who are you talking about?
I'm Henry the Eighth, I amChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

"I'm a Christian, but as of yet, I have not found a congregation that I can feel welcome, and where I enjoy expressing my belief/faith."
That's because you live in eastern Illinois, one of the åssholes of the United States."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

Um -- I've only been in eastern Illinois since early August.
I was talking about when I was still in my home city in eastern Iowa and my experience with this one, particular Episcopalian priest's offish attitude.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Yeah well, there's no huge difference between rural Illinois and Iowa, from my perspective. I don't like either of them, and I probably never will."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

What, you think the C of E went somewhere? In the U.S., they became the Episcopalian Church, because it wasn't considered good form to have the head of your church be the guy you just lead a revolt against, but they are still part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. As we used to call outselves (when I was still Xian), "country club Christians."

And Fun, Xmas was stolen from the pagans. It is a holiday celebrating the rebirth of the sun-god and his victory over darkness.
If we Jews can take a bunch of (probably Canaanite) agricultural festivals and turn them into commemorations of events in Exodus, why shouldnt the Christians get to turn a sun god festival into christmas. Reinventing things is part of the GENIUS of religion, not a mark against it. When religions CEASE to reinvent, when they become rigid and unchanging, is when they die."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

). We just want Fun to acknowledge he's celebrating a holiday that was completely lifted from paganism. He's in denial.

I guess he could point out that by putting new meanings in Christians completely transformed the holiday, rendering it into something new.Originally posted by chegitz guevara
