C´mon, what did you get?

[Magrathean]

Because i'm not a catholic and thus Jesus was just another guy to me (if he even existed) and because i simply do not believe in what christmas is supposed to stand for. Just another day in the year, except everything's closed.

Fair enough... I'm an athiest and don't mind admitting it's a huge excuse to spend 10+ hours amongst masses of other shoppers trying to find the ideal gift for too many people. Perversely, I enjoy Xmas shopping...

 

[Magrathean]

Indeed.

perhaps you wanted to say "because i'm not a christian".

 

[rahvin]

I didn't get anything because i don't celebrate Xmas and because i spent december 24 and 25 with my grandfather and father, who don't celebrate it either.

for some reason, this evokes images of three generations of undocontrols sitting in austere armchairs, looking at each other glumly, arms crossed, and shaking their heads in formal disapproval of the festive day they're forced to endure. every once in a while, one of them will call the nearby 7-11, where a lonely pakistani is warming up some hot dogs.

thanks marduk!

Man, I saw the same thing after I had read that! But I think you quoted the wrong post.

my family doesnt believe in god nut we do celebrate chrsitmas. Thaugh its just a family meeting, we don't go to church or dont do anything with religion. We juste have a big party and diner.

No presents, but I offered myself the best present ever . I even had to pay twice for it

Siren: I'm not sure, is it jews and christians that are catholic of jews and catholics that are christian?

Dark_Silence: What'd you get?

ah, i'm not sure what you said there, but jews and christians are two different religions. the christian religion has subdivisions (ie slight variations in belief of some groups, but the main core is the same in all of them), two of which are the catholic church and the orthodox church.

 

[Magrathean]

No, i know that. See, as far as i know, either

Christianism contains
a) catholicism
b) judaism

or

Catholicism contains
a) christianism
b) judaism

Which way does it go? Or am i totally off?

 

[Siren]

You're totally off.

Christianism contains catholicism.
Judaism is a whole different story, just like islam.

But christianism has its roots in judaism, maybe that's what confuses you.

 

[Magrathean]

Ah, thank you. That clears things up quite a bit.

"Jew is just free-thinking christian" - Nietzche
I second that.

@Fredy: Depends on which side you see that from.

 

[Dark_Silence]
