May the love and peace our our dear lord Jesus rest upon each and every one of you!

Merry Christmas! I hope that those who celebrate this day find it to be blessed and joyous. :-)

AGS surprised me!

Khris · Wed 25/12/2013 11:23:42

I'm sorry, but now you're just asking for it.

Edit: Not trying to start a discussion or anything here. If you feel you must address my blasphemy, please do so in a PM.

And to all atheists out there - have a nice day off, eat, drink and party and think how nice it is you don't have to go to church at midnight but stay home and party some more.

How did AGS surprise you?

Also you could've hung a blue cup on that tree. Imagine how funny it'd have been if you did!! But you didn't!

And oh yeah, Merry Christmas to you too.

TheBitPriest · Wed 25/12/2013 12:53:12

LOL, Kris! I thought you celebrated each day by mocking others. :-) This must be your special, reserved Christmas mockery.

My day is just beginning. I hope that you have enjoyed your holiday.

Khris · Wed 25/12/2013 12:58:14

That is the splash screen you get from AGS if you run it on Dec 25th.
There are others, and there's also at least one existing thread about them

These festivals and/or events are just an excuse of getting together and being happy. You don't need to carry faith similar to your friends for being happy and nor you should go pointing out faults or worse mocking someone else's beliefs (on their special occasions, at least). Share the happiness and be happy yourself too. But apparently that is too much asking from some people.

PRAISE SATAN ON THIS, HIS DAY OF COMING!

(santa?, who's santa?)

AnasAbdin · Wed 25/12/2013 14:05:57

This is my first time running AGS on Dec 25th

I got the Valentine's day splash before and it was beautiful

Khris Thanks I'll check it out and Merry Christmas

I think Khris was primarily responding to the... uh, aggressively religious tone of this post:

Anyway, Merry Christmas one and all, whatever meaning you put in it.

Khris · Wed 25/12/2013 15:53:13

Yep, I was.

Adeel: I don't need faith to be happy, really? Thanks, I had no idea. But I will mock religious silliness all day long whenever it rears its ugly head.

qptain Nemo · Wed 25/12/2013 15:59:15

edit 2: OH the topics have been merged, so it is the right one. Ok. So anyway. Knowing this is an AGS splash screen, my remark about the necessity of the blue cup on the tree stands.

Daniel Eakins · Wed 25/12/2013 16:35:01

I'm more annoyed by the fact that there are like 4 different topics about this day. One should be enough.

Construed · Wed 25/12/2013 18:50:28

Jesus was born so that god would know how it feels to live life in a human body and put through the most extreme pain possible, so he knows how you feel even in your deepest anger hate and pain and he loves you!

Adeel · Wed 25/12/2013 21:50:18

Then how about not enjoying this day as holiday and do some volunteer social work for all the time you'd normally work because this holiday was created by silliness and we mock silliness.

Kris, you have no that you don't need to possess faith similar to someone to share happiness.

Khris · Wed 25/12/2013 22:13:11

This day has been celebrated for thousands of years, because it's the winter solstice, when the days start to get longer again. Then it was co-opted by Christianity. The more you know.

I share all your happiness, what I don't share is fluffy distortions of biblical dogma.

Construed · Thu 26/12/2013 00:06:45

Ah well, It's OK Khris we still love you!
I was an atheist for many years before I opened the book and read a few pages.

Now I've read it about 6 times.

In all it was a good day. All of my children are getting ready for bed, filled with cookies, cakes, and too much candy. My wife gave me a lovely gift, but I don't know what to do with it. It's too cold outside to plant this tree... Pears aren't even in season. The partridge was nice, but it was barely a snack. Maybe she'll have something for me tomorrow? Doves were on my list.
