The question:- Can a Christmas-enjoying atheist be considered hypocritical?


Not in any way. They're getting a charge out of the mainstream part of the season and not having anything to with the Christians that have co-selected it.

Christmas, and every one of it's trappings, are from Pagans Rome. It was the celebration of Saturnalia which occurred toward the year's end beginning from Dec 21st or the Winter Solstice. This was, as indicated by the Roman logbook, not a real piece of the year so you could do anything you needed to. What's more, individuals did. They ate excessively. Drank excessively. They offered blessings to companions. They finished trees with trinkets and candles and so forth. They sang tunes in the streets. Furthermore, they occupied with bunches of sex. You know, a similar stuff that goes on today.

But when the Christians came to control they understood that individuals needed a reason to party so they said it was cool to do each one of those things however it was for Jesus and not Saturn. So individuals at that point observed Jesus similarly.

The main contrast is Christians of today have overlooked this and trust it was constantly about Jesus. So when you're having your Christmas supper, giving presents, singing songs, enriching the tree and engaging in sexual relations with your sweetie you can thank the Pagans for thinking of everything.

Christmas has a place with any individual who needs it, and in light of the fact that I surrendered having confidence in a divine being doesn't mean I surrendered having faith in the adoration and delight of family. I didn't surrender the delight of festivity with my relinquishment of the crazy. So to my religious and non-religious companions, I wish them every one of the a Joyful Christmas or a Cheerful Hanukkah from the heart and I trust they take it with the genuine soul with which I give it – that of the spirit of mankind – something we would all be able to celebrate.

Not "a god", but rather "God"… "Enormous G" God, God of The Capitalised Letter, God of The Bible.

Truly I can. It basically requires demonstrating that the meaning of said god is impossible. For this situation… we just have one objective† definition to work with, the one in the Bible.

† I utilize the term freely

So how does the Bible characterize God. How about we begin at section 1…

Genesis 1 reveals to us that: God made the day, then the earth, then dry land and ocean, then grass, then natural product trees, then "lights in the atmosphere", then the sun, moon and stars (as unmistakable from atmosphere lights), then creatures, then Adam and Eve together

Genesis 2 discloses to us that: God made Adam first, then plants, then a group of named waterways, then creatures, and afterward Eve from one of Adam's ribs

So we have a God characterized as having the capacity to:

make plants before man and furthermore man before plants

make creatures before man and furthermore man before creatures

make woman after man when both are made at the same time

Given that these are on the whole fundamentally unrelated, they're sensibly impossible

furthermore, given that God is characterized as having done these coherently impossible things, this definition can't depict something that genuinely exists

therefore, God (of the huge "G" can't in any way, shape or form exist

Preetiex:
