Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Holly Drew's discussion Christmas: Religious Censorship - For all or for none?"The entire story of a baby being born in the way that Jesus was, and having the three wise men come and give him the three gifts to celebrate the birth of the savior is a gorgeous story.
Just to be clear (for clarification's sake) the wise men…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Holly Drew's discussion Christmas: Religious Censorship - For all or for none?"including the story of the birth of Christ. If it's truth, then it's a beautiful truth, and if it's a story, it's still a beautiful story.
Just out of curiosity, what is so beautiful about it that it's true even if its…"
"Being a Catholic, I see the religious significance in Christmas, but it's no longer a holiday celebrating the birth of Christ alone. It's morphed into a holiday about gathering with loved ones and celebrating eachother. I don't think…"
Vertigo_One [Ops Mod] replied to Holly Drew's discussion Christmas: Religious Censorship - For all or for none?"How can you take exception to acts of gift giving and gathering with loved ones? These acts are, by themselves, kind of holy.
Here's the issue. I'm not taking issue with that in itself. My issue is with the "why". If you…"
Fake Crowley replied to Holly Drew's discussion Christmas: Religious Censorship - For all or for none?"Look at Judaism, or Islam, or practically any other religion out there.

And Santa, who obviously have a religiously derived name on your…"

Lucy Rios replied to Holly Drew's discussion Christmas: Religious Censorship - For all or for none?"I think there are differences in yule and christmas that go beyond the name.
