That awkward moment when you realize you know more...
Blake: okay thats it im tired of seeing it, niggaz need to learn how to spell its, CHRISTmas not x-mas, yinz need to get your head checked for huffin all that glue in the second grade!... but in all serious dont take CHRIST outta CHRISTmas cuz your lazy, cant spell or because your a hater, cuz you know it is what the holiday is CALLED.... just sayings bro...
Amanda: Actually, "x-mas" isn't taking Christ out of Christmas at all. The "x" stems from the Greek word for Christ, Χριστός since this was the first language that the New Testament was written in. And the "x" is meant to represent the crucifix on which Jesus died.
Blake: the thing is probably 95-99% of people dont really actually know that, and they just call it a "pc" version of Christmas because the word Christ offends anyone in this damn country that has a problem wiht anything :/
Christina: Also, don't knock on people's spelling when you keep using "your" instead of "you're." And I will keep the Christ out of XMess. He doesn't belong in my capitalist holiday.
Blake: ^Trollinnnnnnn~
Christina: Not at all, actually. Being 100% serious.
Blake: im still callin it trollin >_>
Christina: Call it whatever you want. The holiday has no religious meaning anymore. And if it did, a lot of people wouldn't bother to celebrate it.
Blake: just because a majority of people call it more of a capitalist holiday doesn't mean the minority of us still cant celebrate it for what it truly is and meant to be for which is a religious holiday.
Christina: And it also doesn't mean you should hate on people because they don't feel like celebrating the birth of some guy who, historically speaking, wasn't even born in the winter.
Blake: ^was waiting for that; anyways thats not the point, the point is howcome Christmas is the only holiday in this country, and around the world in fact, taht gets so much hatred, go to another country, mock that holiday, get your ass grassed, just sayin..., ill hate however i please... Where's Bangs when i need him :/
Christina: 1. Christmas is celebrated around the world. Not just in this country. Actually, Jesus was born in the fucking Middle East. 2. Jews get hated on. A lot. Example: Holocaust. 3. No one is mocking the holiday. 4. Take some anti-rage pills. You need to chill the fuck out. 5. kthxbai
Blake: 1. tell that to Islamists in the middle east who want nothing more than to see the downfall of Christianity and this country,aka anyone who celebrates a WESTERN holiday and wants the world to be ruled under Sharia law. 2. Never use the holocaust as an example, because that was the basis being used by one psychotic nut job with power who had a thing for ho's and had Syphilis, and people killed because when your in an army you follow orders and tend to become to get enveloped in your job 3. tell that to anyone who tries to get anything taken down because they dont think its either "pc" enough or the fact that they think thatll offend someone when in reality it never does we are a litigious society and love to sue the shit outta people 4. Hell no, my piss just got hot and im on fire 5. Hasta Manana, Feliz Navidad!
Christina: 1. Actually, Jesus is a prophet in the Muslim religion. And Christmas is not a Western holiday. It's actually based off of a Pagan holiday -- Yule -- which is a celebration of a seasonal change. 2. You said Christians are the only ones who get hated on. You are dumb. 3. WHO IN THIS THREAD DID THAT OTHER THAN NO ONE?
Klaus: HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE EVERYONE!
Blake: 1. Just because he is a prophet, doesn't mean shit to them, if its a Western Idea, they want it destroyed, and no the Catholic church took over the Pagan holiday for them so people would convert over 2. When was the last time you heard someone bitch about a menorah, or somethign kwaanza related in the news getting hated on this time of year? 3. Trolllllinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn~
Christina: BLAKE. HOW DUMB ARE YOU? Seriously. Jesus is not a Western idea. He was a prophet in the Muslim religion before Christianity was even developed. Are you serious? I feel like I'm talking to a cheeseburger right now. The Catholic Church did not take over the Pagan holiday, considering the Pagan holiday still exists as a Pagan holiday...Yule, the winter solstice. And I've personally never heard anyone bitch about a menorah. Though, I've never heard anyone bitch about a Christmas tree either. I feel far too educated to associate with you at this time.
Blake: CHRISTIANITY IS A WESTERN IDEA holy fuck...
Christina: Christianity derived from the same place as Judaism (it's technically another religion that branched off of Judaism) and Islam. Crusades anyone? Shit, holy wars are still being fought between Palestine and Israel.
Blake: *silent for 30 minutes and counting*
Matt: She's broken records, Christina. SHE BROKE RECORDS!
Christina: Like, she sat on them and they broke?
Mergim: Your obsession with peanut butter is interesting.
Christina: It's my second favorite food.
Mergim: First being?
Christina: Ketchup.
Mike: Why are you wearing that? It's winter.
Me: Winter is not an excuse to stop dressing cute.
