Jesus of course , and to deny he existed is not only ignorant , but blatantly not even remotely close to the truth either .

There is no doubt Jesus was an actual person , and that he he was born and crucified . While I accept that an awful lot of the stories at the time would have been altered over the years , his existence is undeniable .

So sorry

This is very true. The bit I now have difficulty with is that the birth of Jesus was actually around February or March and not December. The Church took over the pagan winter festival in December and 'rebranded' it for some reason.

I'd like to see the Christian festival rescheduled nearer the real date so it breaks the link with commercialism in December.

Christ is Christmas otherwise there is nothing.

Pope Francis said " An insatiable greed marks all human history. Even today when paradoxically a few dine luxuriantly while all too many go without the daily bread needed to survive"

"people should seek not material riches but love, not gluttony but charity, not ostentation but simplicity. "

Christmas should be a time of reflection, love , forgiveness and sharing.

I refuse to say to any child around me that he comes only for good children. What a horrid statement!

Imagine being threatened ( as the church does with heading to hell) that someone won’t love you as much if you’re a bad person. Then when they return to school - some children have got much much more from Santa- and they didn’t.... some little kid then associates it with being bad. Very sad.

Everyone is bad at some point in their lives. We shouldn’t be threatened for these choices.

As stated above Jesus wasn’t born in December.

However, many other belief systems from Pagan to Norse, Germanic, Roman etc all had a winter festival.

With the birth of Hollywood and mass media we have given them the legends to remake a festival starring the Coca Cola man as this mystical man that brings goodwill and cheer to everyone around the world.

The religious part of Christmas died a long time ago as we have cordoned on to the fact that Everywhere in Western society has an ancient story to tell from this season.

So now we celebrate the consumerism that has been allowed to take over

Christmas was originally a pagan celebration of the new sun. New life and a new begining. This time of year for me is spending time with those I care about, eating far to much food and

a reflection on the year that has just passed as well as looking forward and planning the next chapter in my life. Not so much new years resolutions but more building on what I've already accomplished and what things I want to get better at.

Christmas being a pagan celebration originally is just an old wives tale. Its off by a few days.

The guy who made the modern calendar basically made a balls of it. It should have been 13 months with 28 day on each month. It should have started on winter solstice or another solstice. But he shifted everything off probably to avoid any links with pagan.

Jesus Birthday is exactly 1 week before the new year, Jesus has to be born before the new year, and 1 week celebration was given to him. This puts his birth close to a solstice but not on one, actually 4 days after one, and makes a mess of the whole year.

The figure would be based on need - what problems or disasters need to be addressed with financial aid at the time. Therefore, the amount varies from time to time. The Vatican is the largest charitable organization in the world. The treasury of the Vatican was almost completely drained after World War I so as to help victims and refugees of the conflict.

It’s simple they use religion to prey on the weak minded and vulnerable.

Mr M"

I was also brought up as a catholic. Have you read the recent speeches from our pope ?? Pushing people to come forward as being abusers. Damning tek for bringing the catholic faith into disripute . I cant imagine any paedo saying " HIIII THERE please lock me up. " However the pope has pushed for people to come forward so those accountable can be names and shamed and punished.

Read our popes speeches over the last few years. Don't make blanket comments against the cathodic faith. Its the same as saying all Muslims are suicide bombers and child groomers. Terrible things have happened in all races and all religion. I'm a white catholic does that mean I'm part of a Catholic priest or nuns sexual abuse?

I worked 4 1/2 years RAF and 9 1/2 years in the police control room . In that time people in the police profession fucked up.murder, r#%e, grooming to name a few. Does that mean I'm the same as them ? Or all police are corrupt ?

If you blanket a race or occupation or religion. It says a lot more about you than it does about the person subjected to your stigmatism.

I'm sure someone will correct me on this but I believe the santa image is actually trademarked by Coca-Cola. They own it as they invented that image.and it became mainstream due to popularity of the drink.

The figure would be based on need - what

problems or disasters need to be addressed with financial aid at the time. Therefore, the amount varies from time to time. The Vatican is the largest charitable organization in the world. The treasury of the Vatican was almost completely drained after World War I so as to help victims and refugees of the conflict.

So why does the Vatican shy away from its paedophile priest issues.

It’s simple they use religion to prey on the weak minded and vulnerable.

It’s the simple theory that the fear factor of religion is based upon.

And this from someone who was bought up as an Irish Catholic.

Mr M

I was also brought up as a catholic. Have you read the recent speeches from our pope ?? Pushing people to come forward as being abusers. Damning tek for bringing the catholic faith into disripute . I cant imagine any paedo saying " HIIII THERE please lock me up. " However the pope has pushed for people to come forward so those accountable can be names and shamed and punished.

Read our popes speeches over the last few years. Don't make blanket comments against the cathodic faith. Its the same as saying all Muslims are suicide bombers and child groomers. Terrible things have happened in all races and all religion. I'm a white catholic does that mean I'm part of a Catholic priest or nuns sexual abuse?

I worked 4 1/2 years RAF and 9 1/2 years in the police control room . In that time people in the police profession fucked up.murder, r#%e, grooming to name a few. Does that mean I'm the same as them ? Or all police are corrupt ?

If you blanket a race or occupation or religion. It says a lot more about you than it does about the person subjected to your stigmatism.

He may be YOUR pope but he is the head of the most corrupt organisation in the history of the world.

You're most welcome to him and the tosh that they preach, sorry.

Thank you .

What does your head of your belief contribute to?? "

Religion is for the weak.

So I don't have a belief.

Prefer scientific fact over fiction.

"Christ is Christmas otherwise there is nothing.

Pope Francis said " An insatiable greed marks all human history. Even today when paradoxically a few dine luxuriantly while all too many go without the daily bread needed to survive"

"people should seek not material riches but love, not gluttony but charity, not ostentation but simplicity. "

Christmas should be a time of reflection, love , forgiveness and sharing.

And that coming from the head of one of the richest organisation the world....how about "charity begins at home"? Perhaps the Catholic church can spread some of its wealth!!

So only religious sectors commit sex crimes etc ?

I'm sure many scientists do too.

My point being, don't blame the catholic faith for paedophiles, that's using a blanket statement. Such as all Muslims are suicide bombers, all white US policemen hate black people.

The question was q discussion about Santa verses Jesus. Not about your blanketed thoughts of the catholic church.

I'm sire many atheists and non believers have celebrated Christmas.

Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Christ. Don't believe then don't celebrate.

I'm not Hindi, so I don't celebrate Diwali. I'm not Jewish I don't celebrate Hanukah.

So many people ready to blast the church yet celebrates its religious festivals.
