[Closed] Atheists hijack the school's Christmas Fayre

WTF have mince pies got to do with Jesus anyway?

I'd have thought they were more related to the Pagan winter festival, like Christmas trees and so on.

Did Jesus not feast on mincemeat pies? (Mince pies being a bit different in my mind)

Ha.

Fayre?

Fayre?

Erm I think so, should I be offended?

Are presents a myth as well?

Festivus for the rest of us!!! 🙂

Are presents a myth as well?

The giving of presents at this time of year predates the Jesus myth

Well they won't be wanting any presents or Easter eggs for that matter will they. 😀

A great many people see Christmas come and go without so much as giving the baby Jesus a thought, others spend it backwards and forwards to church.
To each their own.

When the puritans were in charge surely.

Preachy atheists are more irritating than Christians.

No they are not.

Careful now as they wont forgive you for being as stupid as saying that unlike christians who forgive everything bit still condemn to you to burn in hell, Gawd bless them.

No shocker at all.

Atheists a bit late to the party. Capitalists hijacked Christmas years ago.

Sweeping religious generalisation shocker.

BH it was as "rude" or generalistic about atheists as it was the christains and given only the christians complained I apologise unreservedly for suggesting that all christians forgive
I guess those that cannot turn the other cheek wont experiences gods love and will be left with me to burn for eternity in the fiery pits of hell

Its such a loving message form them and their all loving god

Now forgive me as I forgive those who trespass against me will you

Cheers

Ah. christmas hasn't really started until we have the first Christmas/religious thread. Feels all festive, puts up tree, dons santa hat, starts kissing inappropriate aunties

Do you have an aluminium pole instead of a tree too?

I am not a Christian.

On the other hand my four year old daughter, raised as a devout atheist, was a Wise Man/King in the school nativity and has been wittering on about [i]"the Sweet Baby Jesus"[/i]

And she told us the other day that [i]"if you want to talk to God you just put your hands together like this and he can hear you. But you can't tell anyone what you wish for otherwise it won't come true"[/i]

You are molgrips and I clam my caravan

Sweet Baby Jesus and Mary Chain.

When the christians were in charge they banned christmas.

When the puritans were in charge surely.

Anyway, you're all mything the point.

Do you have an aluminium pole instead of a tree too?

Is that frozen looking 'T' in MYTH a veiled reference to Ice T? And why the blue lightning?

And what is an 'inappropriate aunty'? And why? (I for one feel would much prefer an appropriated one)

This is all too much information for a mind beset with Man-flu.

Q. What's bald and frowns at mince pies?

I'm not sure what this means, but I'm in.

Welcome to the forum, OP.

Interesting first post.

The capitalists were very late to the party - the Christians hijacked the winter solstice celebrations nearly 2 millennia ago.

I'm not sure what this means, but I'm in.

Myth pies? Seems a bit unraisinable to me.

Groundhogs are my favourite fruit.

Bravo Sir.

Seems a bit unraisinable to me.

Seems a bit unraisinable to me.

Yes, completely unsuetable.

Now you"re just mincing words

I'm looking forward to this thread being in the past-ry.

All this talk of mince pies is making me sleepy. I must have not gone to sleep when I should have.

I should probably relay this information to my Chinese room mate.

"Hey, I think I missed a kip, Ling-Pi."

As far as I know you only go to hell if you aren't sorry for what you've done. Surely learn a little more about the things you slag off?

As far as I know you only go to hell if you aren't sorry for what you've done. Depends which particular sect of Christianity you're on about.

And what if you apologise to the wrong one true god?
The right one might consider that a sin in itself, so you're better off not being sorry at all. It's not worth the risk.

Don't worry about that. Much easier to worship at the altar of conspicuous consumption.

Now you're just taking the pyth, shirley?

I tried 'clamming a caravan' today.

They gave me a caution. The good news is that the caravan has come up trumps, albeit a little sticky.

So I dont need to believe a word of it, say its false, say jesus is not the messiah and say there is no god, not worship , never go to church, but as long as I say sorry when I do things I think are wrong [ rather than what god thinks are wrong becuae i have to say I am ok with himosexuality] I will get in.

There are lots of biblical quotes about how the only way to salvation is through jesus and , clearly, you need to believe in god/ have faith to go there and accept jesus in to your heart as the one true salvation

FFS you learn will you and Oh the irony:roll:

Molly , respectfully, you dont know much about the religion you dont follow but choose to, badly, defend.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14: 6
quoting JC obviously

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Eph. 2:8-9

As far as I know you only go to hell if you aren't sorry for what you've done.

Fortunately, the others highjacked our service this time. Wow, what music. The descants were wonderful, wouldn't have missed it.......

Look if believing in the the baby jesus means I can get shitfaced at breakfast time and get some new socks I'm in!

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

And Lo Jeebus speaked to the pharisees and said 'If i catch that any of those sanctimonious pricks on STW quoting me out of context again I'm going to hoof my size 9's up their mangina'

No context is needed for the quotes I gave they are pretty clear.

PS you might wish to read the sermon on the mount
Matthew 5:17-48
Not all of the sermon but enough

And that, Mr Anderson, is the sound of inevitability.

😆

No thanks Junky I'll stick with the queens speech.

she was chosen by God, so it's a fair swap

as a pagan, I'm jolly well ticked off about the christian mob taking away my winter rebirth festival.
