Diogenes: What if I am a pagan?

Then the only appropriate light display would be your heathen flesh burning at the stake.

Sorry, that hasn't been a pagan tradition for centuries. IIRC, Queen Victoria made the Christmas tree very fashionable.

/besides, stealing from pagans and heathens is something Christianity is very good at.

Just another battle in the Christian war on Christmas.

Why do Christians hate Christmas?


oldfarthenry: I don't know why they're called `FUNdies'? Their main purpose in life seems to be to suck the `FUN' out of it.

FUN DIES. Come on man, it's right there.

Jesus wore khakis...

Diogenes: What if I am a pagan?

Mind your own farking business.

You're free to worship Jesus however you please.

RexTalionis: Diogenes: What if I am a pagan?

Mind your own farking business.

Actual pagan? Or one of them namby pamby neo-pagans?

I'd like to be a cafeteria pagan and just show up for the bits involving alcohol and sex, please

Atheists are trying to keep religion out of public spaces.

And now some disgruntled Christians are trying to keeping religion out of other Christians' lawns?

WTF?

Aren't halos a pagan sun-worshipping thing, too?

Mr. Coffee Nerves: It looks like he used a computer to write that letter. Perhaps internet access via an ISP with numbers. The same numbers that the beast will use to mark him as the writer is tossed into Hell's Suite of Horror where the "Small Wonder" reruns never end and the octo-penised rapephant never tires.

I kind of like Small Wonder.

you know what other country has strange christmas traditions

Pagan, who cares. Most people's lights are just tacky as hell.

I bet she's wearing clothes made of two different fabrics. Someone should stone her. For the Bible tells me so.

I bet she's wearing pants too, which violates Deuteronomy 22:5 (The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God).

You have one of those really annoying bibles that puts GOD and LORD in all caps, don't you? Sigh...

Mr. Griswold would like to have a word with you....

Babwa Wawa: Jesus was nailed to a Christmas tree and wore a pine wreath as a crown. Right?

Seriously - anyone who thinks that putting a tree up, having a shared meal, giving presents, and Santa Claus has anything to do specifically with the Christian religion is an imbecilic twatwaffle.

No, Jesus was killed by a Jewish Roman and three days later had an erection which caused him to come forth on Lazurus and ascend into heaven.

Santa was crucified for your presents, so you better be good for goodness sake. Can I get a HO! HO! HO! Brothers and sisters.

In which case, all women are in deep shiat since high heels used to be for men.

What do you mean used to be? My ass looks great in a pair of high heels.

"For preventing disorders, arising in several places within this jurisdiction by reason of some still observing such festivals as were superstitiously kept in other communities, to the great dishonor of God and offense of others: it is therefore ordered by this court and the authority thereof that whosoever shall be found observing any such day as Christmas or the like, either by forbearing of labor, feasting, or any other way, upon any such account as aforesaid, every such person so offending shall pay for every such offence five shilling as a fine to the county."

I am thinking Wicker Man with mannikins inside burning on the lawn!

Bah! If you're a true pagan, you don't bother with that plastic artificial crap. Go with the real thing!

Why can't people do the right thing during Christmas?

You know, feed the sick and hungry and then on the next day walk over them like they're sidewalk accessories.

All I know is that the pagans sure have a lot more fun.

Traditions change.

meat0918: Someone must be channeling their inner Cromwell.

I'm celebrating the solstice this year, but I didn't put up lights. I'm an atheist, not an energy waster.


You're posting in a Fark religion thread. You're an energy waster.

Anonymous, of course, so no one can go "thank you for noticing, they aren't Christmas lights."
