    We know you don't believe in God, so why troll the religion section?

    Merry Christmas!

    Ahh yes....up next in the bag of tricks: The Ad homs.

    If you cant debate them, attack them!

    Happy Winter Solstice! Its a time to celebrate the death of one year, and the beginning and hope for a better year!

    I'm miserable for telling the truth? :laughing:

    I find it funny the religious right has to resort to ad homs when the truth gets out.

    Hark the herald angels sing : Lyrics


    Hark the herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!
    Peace on earth and mercy mild
    God and sinners reconciled"
    Joyful, all ye nations rise
    Join the triumph of the skies
    With the angelic host proclaim:
    "Christ is born in Bethlehem"
    Hark! The herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!"

    Christ by highest heav'n adored
    Christ the everlasting Lord!
    Late in time behold Him come
    Offspring of a Virgin's womb
    Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
    Hail the incarnate Deity

    Pleased as man with man to dwell
    Jesus, our Emmanuel
    Hark! The herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!"

    Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
    Hail the Son of Righteousness!
    Light and life to all He brings
    Ris'n with healing in His wings
    Mild He lays His glory by
    Born that man no more may die
    Born to raise the sons of earth
    Born to give them second birth
    Hark! The herald angels sing
    "Glory to the newborn King!"​

    To add on to it. Its funny that the christians high-jacked the Winter Solstice Celebration from the pagans, but if you dare tell the truth of what they did, they toss the Ad Homs at yet. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me.

    Self-righteous, self-proclaimed enlightened Atheists have a corner on 'hypocrisy!'

    No, we just simply tell the truth. And some people cant handle the truth. The anger shown to me in this thread by simply telling the truth about the real reason for the holiday (The Winter Solstice) is proof of this.

    He is simply pointing out the obvious.

    Christmas has more to do with pagan beliefs than it does Christianity.

    Hell, not only did christians high-jack the Winter Solstice from the Pagans, they high-jacked Horus!

    Jesus is the reason for the Season?

    More like Deception is the reason for the Season!

    Dont know anyone like that, myself (nobody I hang with), but I'm sure that you will get some good miles out of it in demonizing old style 'religious' mind sets and classifying/smearing all Christians as such....

    Now:

    It Came Upon A Midnight Clear : Lyrics

    Play Music !
    It came upon the midnight clear,
    That glorious song of old,
    From angels bending near the earth,
    To touch their harps of gold:
    "Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
    From heavens all gracious King!"
    The world in solemn stillness lay
    To hear the angels sing.

    Still through the cloven skies they come,
    With peaceful wings unfurled;
    And still their heavenly music floats
    O'er all the weary world:
    Above its sad and lowly plains
    They bend on hovering wing,
    And ever o'er its Babel sounds
    The blessed angels sing.

    O ye beneath life's crushing load,
    Whose forms are bending low,
    Who toil along the climbing way
    With painful steps and slow;
    Look now, for glad and golden hours
    Come swiftly on the wing;
    Oh rest beside the weary road
    And hear the angels sing.

    For lo! the days are hastening on,
    By prophets seen of old,
    When with the ever-circling years
    Shall come the time foretold,
    When the new heaven and earth shall own
    The Prince of Peace, their King,
    And the whole world send back the song
    Which now the angels sing.

    What anger?! Methinks you've been staring in a mirror too long....pot & kettle.

    I see several 'joyous' folk on here, and a couple of kill-joys...BTW, 'Joy' ONLY comes from God, as it is a state of mind and an attitude!

    I notice in your joy tactics, you mention nothing about the truth of the holiday.

    Why is that? I guess you simply cannot handle the fact that christmas is a fraud? That jesus is a fraud?

    Live your life that way, if you must. But why accuse people of being kill-joys for simply stating the truth?

    Try telling the truth and then we can attempt to see if you telling the truth makes a difference in you.

    Luke 1:14
    "You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth" [except of course the atheists].

    Luke 2:10
    But the angel said to them, “ Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; [except, of course, the atheists]

    Sorry, wet-blankets, but you cant steal 'my joy' this time of year in celebrating the coming of a Savior.!!! As has been said, we Christians celebrate Him daily, but join the world in setting aside this day & season to celebrate together...so you'd better go hide in the darkness of your futile minds.

    Except the truth states otherwise. Not only did your brethren high-jack The Pagan Winter Solstice Celebration, you also high-jacked the story of Horus.

    Be my guest and celebrate a fraud. Personally, I have too much honor to celebrate a fraud or fraudulent activities. But then again, I do find that non-christians do have higher moral standards.

    You keep repeating yourself like a [​IMG]

    as if it makes any difference!

    I could put my response as a [​IMG]

    if that would help get them thru your thick head!

    Maybe you & Neutral could wear each other out?!!


    BTW, How does that last 'statement' <cough, hack> mean anything when atheists have no absolute morals to violate?!! ha ha [​IMG]

    Again, I notice you start with the Ad homs. You simply cannot handle the fact that the christians stole Horus and the Pagan Winter Solstice celebration.

    If you cannot handle the fact you are celebrating a fraud and fraudulent activity, that is not my problem, but there is no need for ad homs.

    BTW, morals need to change with society. So having 'absolute morals' really is advocated the destruction of the human race.

    To sum up this all up: you advocate celebrating a fraud, fraudulent activity and now the destruction of the human race. And people wounder why i find religion to be so dangerous.

    No, not really.

    So do you and rstones celebrate the Winter Solstice? Or are y'all natural hypocrits?

    Just find it amazing that 2 people who have no belief in God spend all their time on a computer trolling religion boards.

    They are desperately seeking God, but their PRIDE and ARROGANCE stands in the way of them meeting God.
