BecaciaBarbie: . do you have to believe something to make the most of it? yes a pagan practice even warned of in the Bible and whose Santa Claus (St. Nicholas) is of dread origins.. yet fills Christian Homes every year as a gift to Jesus Christ the Son of Man.. a wonder how many Christians care to know of the origins of some of their practices 1 Like 1 Share |

I wonder what will be the gain in search of greater wisdom...when life in itself is a passing phase! What if it's true-that death is not the end but the real begining,after dying and walking through that path/journey alone? Will there be rewards/consequences? Time shall tell,let him who thinks that he stands watch well least he fall. |

sonofthunder:Yes, I believe that he existed. About his claims, I first believed it, then completely doubted it and now I'm in the middle. He might either lied or preached what he dreamed or preached what Aliens told him or preached what true God/gods told him or anything. I'm still a non believer but recently I'm starting to feel as if there are paranormal things like God, gods, ghost, sprit, etc......... The God could be anything. It can be Alien or the kind of God Christianity for example says or any other form. I'm also to question our existence at all. I'm completely open minded from now on. Anything can happen. I wouldn't be surprised if I see my loving dead father alive or if my mother or anyone I know an is Alien. Sorry for blabbering. 1 Like |

Christmas is the celebration of the time when the days start to lengthen, which in the Northern Hemisphere, is in the middle of winter. Many religions in history have claimed the winter solstice as a holy day. The "reason of the season " is a combination of different traditions. It includes sun worship and pagan nature religions who have venerated the natural cycle for many thousands of years. Many traditional elements of Christmas pre-date Christianity1 . Nowadays it is laid upon by various Christian stories, and Christians even say, quite wrongly, that they invented Christmas. In combination with these religious sources is a heavy dose of commercialism - many "traditions" are in fact invented by commercial companies trying to find nifty ways of selling goods. A sensible and modern refrain is that Christmas is simply a secular midwinter holiday season; it is important to all families as one of the three holiday seasons in between children's school terms. Christmas is a multicultural festival with a long pagan history, and can be celebrated by anyone. http://www.humanreligions.info/christmas.html |

Seun:what evidence do you need?...tell me You know why I like you ...? because unlike so many self professed atheist, you have respect, not like the others, they call themselves atheist yet attack Christians (how can you attack what you believe don't exist), they are more like haters of God and the God-kind...but you...there's hope of salvation for you |

Re: Do Atheists Celebrate Christmas? by Chachangi: 8:11pm On Dec 11, 2017 |
Seun, Seun, I'm sorry to disappoint you, we have nothing to PROVE TO YOU (as I presume that's the essence of the EVIDENCE ) asked for. Our mandate is to PREACH (i.e PROCLAIM, ANNOUNCE) that Jesus, the Son of God, came in the flesh, died for the sin of the whole world (Seun of Nairaland inclusive ), resurrected on the third day, ascended onto heaven and is coming back for those who believe in him. Our mandate is similar to that of a town crier. Do you tell a town crier to give you EVIDENCE that the message from the KING IS TRUE? God loves you, Seun. Today is the day of Salvation. God bless. |
