what bothers me about christmas?

[cimorene]

well, among other things...


kairakume: the main thing is that everything in the Bible is the Word. i don't know yet the full extent of what all these caps mean, but i'm sure i'll crawl towards a linear progression of thoughts.
cim thing: it's supposed to mean it's the word of god.
cim thing: it isn't the word of god.
cim thing: it's the writings of old men who were trying to control other people, in many cases power-hungry and in almost all cases misguided, i'd say.
cim thing: if there were a god, i don't find it likely he'd pick a bunch of assholes at that particular time to tell a hugely inconsistent pack of mostly useless stuff to which frequently goes against the laws of all kinds of things including but not limited to physics and common sense.

don't forget the true meaning of presents...i mean christmas

I like presants. I'm glad there's christmas and i'm glad that my birthday is in january. MORE PRESENTS FOR ME! It is what it is, a holiday where everone feels necessary to remind others of what the true meaning of christmas is. It'll always be like that and frankly it's not such a bad thing. It's another day where people at least feel compelled to be nice to you. Just think, what if there were no christmas? People would be an ass to you 360+ days a year and we'd have to start wars and stuff to boost the economy...
