    To the 2 or 3 Christians out there in the PJ land I say Merry Christmas to you. 
    This is (John Rutter's The Angels' Carol performed by the Cambridge Singers)
    My favorit Christmas Carol of all time.

    Happy Yule indeed!
    My in-laws all went full Catholic insanity so they got a birthday cake for Jesus and the niece and nephew sang Happy Birthday Jesus.  They (6 and 4.5) asked my 3.5yr old son if he wanted to join them and he said 
    "I don't want no Jesus cake" and walked away lol. Proud Papa.
    They are fully brainwashed so deep that they can't even understand that we believe differently, it doesn't make sense to them that we "don't love Jesus"
    Weird.

    I grew up full on Cathlic and never once heard of singing happy birthday to Jesus or a birthday cake. Thats a whole other level of insanity.

    Birthday cake and singing happy birthday Jesus? And making kids sing it? man, that is nuts. I second Hugh, "good god."
    Most people don't know this and it dosn't jive with all the xmas songs.  But it is well documented in the book of Luke.
    The conception took place on Dec 25th.  The birth was 9 months later, Sept 29th.
    Take it easy.....

    It was the kids that instigated the happy birthday Jesus business, to be fair.

    To the date of Christmas, they used an entirely different calendar back then, and a half dozen or so have come and gone since then so there isn't any reason to trust any date in the Bible beyond a general description of the season and years that are corroborated by outside sources, and neither the conception nor the birth of Jesus can be corroborated.

    my 'good god' was also in reference to the intolerance to non-believers. it is just so fucking hypocritical, and you see it all over the place in religion.

    Why not?

    If churches were smart, they’d have gift shops with novelty Jesuses, colouring books, and all sorts of other cool items.

    If I was religious, I’d maybe want an action Jesus to play with.
