I get so angry seeing women in western democracies defending this barbaric subjugation of women.
All religions suck, but Islam never having gone through any kind of reformation is a special kind of fucked up when it comes to women.
Worst of all is seeing my liberal friends defending Islam, like some kind of PC pissing contest completely abandoning our brothers and sisters living in these theocracies.
It didn’t though. Christmas was invented by the Christians to help convert Pagans of the time by saying that Christianity fits in with their celebrations. Christmas origins come from the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.
Not exactly. Most Christian holidays are redefined existing holidays. Christmas was “oh everyone already celebrates a feast around midwinter, let’s make it a celebration of the birth of Jesus so we can still do the celebration but in a Christian way”.
There is already some debate about what time of year the birth actually happened. Most people agree that regardless of the actual day, it probably wasn’t Dec 25 (or the equivalent if using other calendars). That’s just the one that people agreed to use.
December 25 was the traditional date of the winter solstice in the Roman Empire,[45] where most Christians lived, and the Roman festival Dies Natalis Solis Invicti (birthday of Sol Invictus, the ‘Invincible Sun’) had been held on this date since 274 AD.[46]
Either way, it’s a common fallacy or logical argument where you pick out the tiniest thing to invalidate someone’s entire argument vs just that one thing.
Just imagine how fun it is trying to tell people constantly how blanketswithsmallpox was never a thing despite being native, being well sourced, and having the info pinned to your profile lol. Granted, it’s insensitive for a reason just like how people had usernames in the old day like titfuckercuntqueef. With mine people just have to Google though lol.
It’s a Christian holiday. Just because Christianity permeates culture so strongly you don’t notice its dominance doesn’t make it stop being a Christian, and religious, holiday.
Nope. It may be religious for Christians but that’s about it. The civilized world is laughing at you. What’s funny is how Neo Christians are just racist confederates hiding behind religion to shield themselves from criticism of their views because they know if they are honest about it and just tell people they don’t like people of color or gays, they’ll be shunned from society. Cowards. At least Atheists are honest about their views.
What’s even funnier is how being a bigot is the only part of the Bible they know. We don’t see Neo Christians following any of Christs teachings. They wouldn’t elect Jesus if he was a modern day politician. Comical.
Just some gun toting Christian’s who routinely let their pastor rape their children. it would be hilarious if it weren’t so fucking sad.
You’re so steeped in a Christian culture, you seem not realize it. Just like there are atheistic Jewish people, who participate and identify with Jewish culture, there are large swaths of people who are atheists but participating in Christian culture. I don’t think anyone would seriously argue that passover isn’t a religious holiday even if many atheists are celebrating it.
And what is being celebrated in a religious way on Christmas? Presents? So consumerism is religious now lol ok sure. The only thing Christian religions have in common is their hate. I already provided a link to wiki showing the origins of winter solstice (Christians can try to claim it as their, whatever) but you conveniently ignored it.
Another thing I find hilarious is how they’re “Christians” now, even though there are so many ingroups like Catholic, Mormons or Baptists etc. and that they are all extremely different but had to consolidate to hide the fact they’re all losing members in droves.
Because you ignore the wiki source and continue to espouse your lies I will conclude you are either a bot or simply arguing in bad faith. In either event I will not entertain you further.

Stating Christmas is a religious holiday and using the word retarded speaks volumes to your character
I don’t understand, Christmas originated from the Christian religion, what exactly does it say about this person’s character?
It didn’t though. Christmas was invented by the Christians to help convert Pagans of the time by saying that Christianity fits in with their celebrations. Christmas origins come from the Roman celebration of Saturnalia.

Using the word retarded is similar to using other derogatory slurs deemed hate speech.
Come now, no need to be like that. Everyone’s a bit retarded in our own special way…

But Christmas is a religious holiday, but not originally a Christian one.
If you call consumerism a religion, yes.

No reformation? You’re in a sub thread about Western Muslim women not wearing hijab.
I, Jew, have dated and had sex with said Muslim women. That’s pretty reformed big dog.
