This is a tongue in cheek question, but really--
Christians want to keep Christ in Christmas, but why not the mass?
The etymology of the word comes from Christ-mass...originally celebrated as a mass.

And it was for all intents and purpose the Bible was formed by the Roman Catholic church. Don't include anything that would say you don't need a priest or woman were on equal footing with men.
The history channel is now running a show on the history of Christmas.
Of course it is entirely a pagan holiday. Merry Mithra-mas Day.
The Puritans "rightfully" condemned it. It is so funny to see Christians get worked up about the war on Christmas when if they were true to their faith they would reject it.
Religion Kills !!!
Numbers 31:17-18 - Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.

Maybe it's because so many Christians can't stand going to mass! Even Bill O'Reilly, a conservative Christian defender, said he has a hard enough time staying awake in chruch!!

Yeah...probably so.
The "War on Christmas", oddly enough, is being waged by atheists too...
Anydangway...I just think it's comical on both sides.

I've been asked before. If your an ateist, why do you celebrate Christmas? There certainly many cultural reasons. Most are traditions. The others are pure unadulterated fun. I could trot out the centuries old Pagan traditions that morphed into Christmas as as excuse for celebration but I won't. Christmas is fun. From a child's point of view or adult. The next time a Christian asks me about this I have a few answers.: 1 Christmas is a Pagan tradition: fuck off and find your own. 2 Christmas is fun: fuck off and find your own. 3 Science is fun: fuck off and read a book
Understanding that there is no purpose in the Universe frees us all to find one.
As someone who was married to a Catholic family I can testify that Christmas mass in the Catholic church is much closer to torture than water boarding. Anyone who willingly goes to mass on Christmas is a masochist.
If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X
I can't help but to quote Marquis now
By the way, u.A., that quote in your signature, isn't that from Warhammer 40 000?
Beings who deserve worship don't demand it. Beings who demand worship don't deserve it.
Nope - the quote is from Han Solo From Star Wars episode 4: A New Hope
