Ya, Religion has killed people, and Christians most of all should lament that fact. But the atheists got 'em beat by the hundreds of millions. They have no moral code except that which they place on themselves. In the west they are restrained because of a moral order the they've borrowed from religion. Once they can't stand on the moral order they inherited, they will start killing by the hundreds of millions again. The cynicism, vitriol, and hate they already espouse for certain groups is a foreshadowing of that.

Most holidays weren't even started by chrisitians but they tied their biblical happenings into seasonal celebrations, from the fall to winter to spring, then capitalism got in there and attached buying a bunch of shit to celebrate. Holidays are what you make them. I find myself gravitating towards all the fun religious holidays, hindu, buddhist, muslim, chrisitan, native american pagan etc Im fucking always partying!

And what year is it!
What a fuckin joke that is!
The best thing to come out of this 12.21.12 thing is maybe people will start to follow some type of lunar calendar instead of a calendar around the birth of a God's son!- 12:12:12.... what about .............. hmm.... Ezekiel 23:20?!?!?vaxorcist
- and two of those months were added by roman emperors.zarkonite
- lunar cycle doesn't match solar cycle, that's why you need an extra 1/4 day a year.monNom
- so a lunar calendar would drift and eventually have xmas in summer.monNom
- nommon thats why you christ believers have the gregorian calendarteh

Once again... War is upon us and our culture.

War: An organized, armed, and, often, a prolonged conflict that is carried on between states, nations, or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality.[1][2]
A disagreement over where to stage a nativity scene is not war

Standing up for the separation of church and state is not war.

Why do we need government and public schools sponsoring religious events? I thought conservatives wanted government to be eliminated as much as possible, and that it's always better when the private sector or individuals handle things. So let non-government groups handle the religious stuff.
- there was no government sponsorship. it was a display on public land... oh no!whhipp

As a spiritual person I see the celebration of decorating a pine tree with lights and decorations. I see it as a thankfulness for these pine trees that continue to grow, keep our air clean and protect us from the sun and cold all through the winter, but some how a specific religious group adopted a tradition from the dutch and ruined it. A general seasonal celebration has turned into an unnecessary religious war.
