Some points on holidays:

Both Christmas and Easter are pagan holidays that Christianity "converted" into Christian ones - ostensibly because it was easier to get pagans to switch (and hence provide support to the church), if the holidays fell at the same time. Halloween, too, is a pagan holiday.

Because of the pagan origins of so many holidays, many fundamentalist Christians and Jehovah's Witnesses don't observe or celebrate them.

As for homosexuals:

Is an act of heterosexual rape worse than a consenting act of homosexuality? Or, since it's heterosexual in nature, is it less bad than homosexuality? And does the fact that rape exists, also make heterosexuality bad?

If any of the Christianly types can answer these, that'd be, you know, super.

All the sins are supposed to be equal. So, if you commited murder it'd be the same as proclaiming you're homosexual. ... Couldn't tell you on the rape one. I'll have to ask about that on my weekly visit to investigate the holes in Christianity ^^;;

Wow, i go to work and it's still unlocked. Amazing. Or something.

All sin is equal in God's eyes. So if you steal, it's as bad as murder. Homosexuality is a sin cuz God said so. Anyone who doesn't believe is just that. Sure they may think they've "won" here, but hey, let them think they've won. It's amazing how people love to find "holes" in christianity but all they do is take shit outta context. Highly entertaining. Like that video where the monkey scratches his ass, sniffs it and then falls outta the tree. I still can't find that online anymore.

Yawn. You bore me. You can't prove God doesn't exist, i can't prove to you that he does exist. But hey, if it makes you feel better, i'll admit defeat or something if you NEED the satisfaction THAT much.

so you are goign to play that game. well since you're playing, and since you are declaring that i win, i will then accept your declaration of defeat, for good sportsmanhsip.

and since you did say that i need it, i therefore have to have it and i'm goign to have to thank you for giving me it.

thank you, minniemoose, for giving me me another indepth view of the devout christain's mind. it will go a long way towards improving my knowledge of why people do the things they do.

i like to further thank you for standing by your faith.

Along the same lines, let us study the black people in jail because if we study THEIR minds like you claim to have studied mine, then we should be able to understand how they think. That my dearie is called anti-...something or other. You can't declare that i am the epitomy of all christian thinking or even a regular one because everyone thinks different. The lesson? Don't be a hata. I don't hate anyone because it's human life something that should be respected period, but I'm aloud the right to look down upon an aspect of that person's life as you do christians. Therefor, we're in the same boat no matter how much you claim i'm a homophobe. As long as you understand that, I hope you enjoy your victory.

On another idea:

Ever notice how most people who dislike christianity are gays or rebellous teenagers who are just upset at the world who try to poke holes at it and have a general lack of trust for their fellow human beings?
