happy birthday jesus my lord and savior

Christmas is nothing to do with either Christianity or Islam but it does have it's origins in the midwinter festival and many other basically pagan rites but since much of it is a celebration of nature rather than religion everyone should be able to enjoy it and be happy together despite religion!!

The ancient European pagans celebrated the midwinter festival and a number of other festivals long before Christianity ever existed!

Babylonians celebrated the feast of the Son of Isis with gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift giving and the goddess of fertility, love, and war.

The Romans held a festival on 25 December called “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, celebrating their own god Sol Invictas - PAGAN.

The Persian god Mithras, the Syrian sun god Elah Gabal, the German Sol, the Greek Helios and the Mesopotamian Shamash. But also Saturnalia, honouring Saturn, the God of Agriculture. The law courts and schools were closed. No public business could be transacted an this is where the holidays originated - ALL PAGAN!!!

Wax tapers were given by the more humble to their superiors. The origin of the Christmas candle - PAGAN!!

In Rome groups of costumed went from house to house entertaining their people. And this was where the carolling Christmas tradition originated PAGAN!!

Statues of the Mother and lover or Mother and son were paraded through the streets not only in Italy but also in Africa, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and Bulgaria. Thus, the symbolism of the Heavenly Virgin and the infant child paraded on a yearly basis are not of Christian origin. They stem from the Mother-goddess religion, which is very ancient ENTIRELY PAGAN!!.

Scandinavian countries celebrated Yule honouring Thor - PAGAN.

In Germania (not Germany) they celebrated midwinter night followed by 12 wild nights of eating and drinking. The 12 days of Christmas PAGAN!!

The church under Pope Julius I declared that Christ’s birth would be celebrated on December 25 in 350 AD in order to try to hijack the PAGAN festivals but it was largely ignored. Christians did not really celebrate Christmas until 378 but it was then dropped in 381 and not resurrected until 400.

The Christmas tree stems from pagan tradition and ritual surrounding the Winter Solstice, which included the use of holly boughs ivy and other foliage as an adaptation of pagan tree worship. Holly and ivy represented male and female. Mistletoe was considered a sacred plant, and the custom of kissing under the mistletoe began as a fertility ritual - all PAGAN!!

Santa Claus came from the Dutch “Sinterklaas” and was a tall figure riding a white horse through the air and usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. Also the origin of the reindeer, sleigh and the elves ALL PAGAN!!

The modern red coated Santa was brought about by coca cola!!

America actually banned Christmas several times and is the originator of the expression “Happy Holidays” which came about because of the pagan origins of Christmas to include all religions and traditions!!

The Venerable Bede, an early Christian writer pointed out that the Christian church absorbed Pagan practices when it found the population unwilling to give up the festivals. Thus a lot of what Christians now see as Christians practices are in fact pagan!!!

Christmas is the time of year christians strive to prove just how pagan they have become!!!

I celebrate Christmas without any Gods (and so do all the religious people, they don't know it though) because Christmas actually originated in Paganism, and was adopted by the Christians, so I can make the holiday into what I want as well. In truth, know one knows when Jesus's birthday was. We barely have enough evidence he even existed. All we have is very few questionable hearsay claims from around 2000 years ago. Hearsay is not evidence, there are all sorts of people running around today who claim to have been abducted by aliens or saw bigfoot. They even claim to have seen God and they say it was actually Allah. Even if he did exist there certainly isn't any evidence of any of the supernatural claims, like of him walking on water, turning water into whine, etc.

For Atheists Christmas can be a time to spend with family and friends to let them know how much you care about them. It can be about unity, like Kwanzaa. It can also be about giving gifts, Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, lights and having parties!

properly, i in simple terms wish that Christians could comprehend that there are different holidays around this time of three hundred and sixty 5 days. I have fun yule, between the pagan variations of the winter solstice, I actual have in simple terms as lots of a ceremony to a trip this time of three hundred and sixty 5 days as you do. because of the fact of this "Christ" isn't the authentic clarification for the season Esepcially as there have been pagans celebrating the winter solstice before Christians celebrated Christ's birthday. *edit* i don't care if Christians have fun Christmas, they have the terrific to and that is not hurting me. i in simple terms wish that they could see that there is greater holidays than theirs, and that Jesus isn't "the authentic clarification for the season." that's the venture, a good number of Christians do get their tails in knots once you're saying that there are different celebrations around Christmas. they think of theirs is the only one that could be celebrated, and get upset while individuals say that they have fun something diverse.

Jesus didn't keep his promise to return within the lifetime of his buddies,

He is dead and gone forever just like all jumped up human 'prophets'.

Furthermore the people who have promoted this person into an alleged god for political purposes have a lot to answer for.

I don't have his cellphone number do you? If so, I'll be happy to give 'em a happy birthday call. You know because I don't want to look like an idiot telling Jesus happy birthday at random and he's nowhere to be seen.

Ah, Jesus.

I understand that there is absolutely no evidence to contradict the Pastafarians' assertion that Jesus is the only begotten son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, may all be touched by his noodly appendage.

We had a party for Him. Happy Birthday Jesus!

I do say it, but no one is for sure on the exact date that Jesus was born, in fact many Bible scholars believe Jesus could have been born in the summer rather the winter.

Because we really don't know when Jesus was born. The Bible doesn't give a date, just indication of the skies.

Jesus was not born on Christmas

duhh .
