Why everything has to be inclined to negativity?
I am sure many of us here is using the internet/the forum to be more informed on some topics/things we have never been exposed to.

If my office was open, I would work Christmas day. I don't celebrate Christmas at all; just a day off much like Remembrance/Veterans day is to the majority of the public that doesn't give a damn about that day. I was sure I heard that the birth of Christ was supposed to be in September so why celebrate in December? Makes no sense to me.

This is better than google to me.I can get answers from someone who is actually an atheist like navygirl1 instead of trying to read millions of speculations before I get the information I need. It's called " laziness"

It's a conspiracy! Christians must get marching orders to use this holiday to make an extra effort to snare more warm bodies to their cause. It's kind of like stores, they have to make it in December to show a profit for the whole year.

ojisanC: September??? That is a theological question.
There have been many discussions about Christ being born in September not December. It doesn't matter as it really has nothing to do with an aethist anyways. The whole point is if it is a religous holiday, why do we gorge on food and buy expensive gifts? How does that relate to the birth of Christ? Why don't we all just stop buying gifts and gorging ourselves and put the money to charity? Wouldn't that be a Christian thing to do? I am not Christian but that is what I do. I tell people to not buy me gifts for Christmas or birthdays and just donate money to charities.

ojisan...i am athiest and i do not find your thread to be offensive. people seeking knowledge is a good thing. :) i would assume each athiest is different kind of like vegetarians or any other group of people. each manifests their beliefs differently.
i myself believe christ was a real man, who was incredible, i just dont believe in god or higher powers. and as others have sited dec. is not the time of his birth, it is actually the winter solstice; that was taken from pagan rites that existed before christ. (no offense to christians)
i have always tried to live christlike though not a christian, i just feel thats how we should live as humans. i feel that , to me this is the epicenter of christmas..many christians ( and others) seem wrapped up in gifts, shopping, parties, etc...when the true meaning is goodwill, love, peace. i personally celebrate it much like other people, spending time with the ones i love, a large meal if possible...appreciating the ones i love and the good things of life, volunteering time to those less fortunate than myself.
because of how i feel about the season/holiday i prefer to have it off like anyone else, but like anything else i would trade shifts or work for someone who was devout or who had children...that whole christlike thing, lol. i love the christmas holiday and love to bring cheer to those around me, even though i am not a christian. i believe understanding and love the most important things in this world, we should all relax and love our brothers and sisters christan, muslim, jew and buddhist alike.
hope this helps :D
