Wintereenmas

[Marquis 9]

Okay. Whatever. You don't like the fact I don't celebrate a widely known holiday.

But, I'm a gamer. The idea of a video gaming holiday is something I like. You don't have to attack me over it.

[Linox 28]

I'm not attacking you, I'm just stating the obvious. I mean it's been a while since a new holiday came up and started taking the nation by storm.

Wintereenmas might as well be this new holiday, it's about games and it's for the gamers.

Then later in the year, everyone could enjoy Linox day which is just an awesome day because it's named after me.

Don't you see, it's the coming of a new age.

[Marquis 9]

Well, Wintereenmas has only been around for 5 years.

I'm sure it'll be a bigger holiday in the future.

Clark Kent, I apologize for that Jesus comment. I realize it must've been pretty enraging.

But most holidays ARE pretty much a reason for people to go out and buy stuff.

Valentines day was made COMPLETELY for commercialism.

So I don't see the stupidity in celebrating video games.

[Chase 390]

Well, not like Jesus is much of a celebration either.

So a person who never existed got a holiday. Big whoop.

This says a lot about you. If you think for a second Jesus isn't just as real as Alexander the Great or Napoleon, you're an idiot.

His birth, life, and death aren't disputed. He existed. The dispute arises on whether he's the Son of God. And many people believe he was.

Quit being a tool and spouting whatever other people tell you.

[Marquis 9]

I see you ignored my last post and actually want to argue about this.

If you think for a just a second, that because I'm only fourteen, I don't have the experience and knowledge to decide for myself, who's the real idiot?

I became a atheist because of knowledge I found myself. And actually, his existence is disputed. According to the Romans, he never existed. And as we know, the Romans recorded everything.

[Chase 390]

LOL

[Marquis 9]

I don't know how to respond to that.

What exactly are you laughing at?

Just because someone is older, doesn't mean they're smarter.

And if you think its funny that I chose to become an Atheist, its true. My parents are actually christian. I was raised a christian. But I chose to become a Atheist of my own accord.

Tell you what. If you can convince me Jesus actually existed, I'll become christian.

[Chase 390]

I can't convince anyone of anything they don't want to be convinced of.

I can provide evidence to Jesus' existence, but there is no proof of anyone's existence. All we have of anyone from the past is evidence. This is true with Buddha, Muhammad, the flying spaghetti monster, etc. For you to deny this evidence, however, is stupid for two reasons.

1) Romans wrote about him. You just said yourself you believe the Romans recorded everything.

2) The Bible, despite whatever you've been told, is historically credible. There's no reason to disbelieve it than any other writings from the time.

Here's a site with a few examples of evidence for the existence of Christ:

But don't be an idiot and become a Christian just because Jesus existed. That's stupid. He may have just been a man. Look into whether he was the Son of God by studying the Bible before you jump to any conclusions.

I wanna be like "Go, Chase" but I'd rather say this:

Wintereenmas or whatever is probably the second stupidest "holiday" I've ever heard of, right after the ancient celebration of Kwanzaa that started in 1969 and has a roaring following of seven, count it, SEVEN black people! But hey, at least more than 1 person celebrates Kwanzaa, unlike Stupid-ass-play-video-games day.

If the bible is historically accurate, give me an event that it portrays normally that is also historically proven by other sources and I'll believe you. Otherwise, I believe that the bible is simply a religious text, not a history book as well.

I know, Wintereenmas is way better then Stupid-ass-play-video-games day. Whoever started that was like... retarded.

[Ammonsa 308]

I'm not even Christian but I think you are being offensive, Marquis. Jesus was a real person. If you choose to deny his existence then you choose to deny every other historical figure of the ages. The only reason you choose to deny it is because his history is intermixed in religion and you have a beef with it. What the hell do mean the Romans didn't acknowledge his existence?

[Marquis 9]

Yeah, I was just kind of mad at Clark. I didn't mean most of what I said.

But it is true, what we've recovered from the Roman Empire, there no trace of Jesus.

[Ammonsa 308]

You mean, except the Vatican?

"In 380, the Flavius Theodosius (r. 379-395) made Christianity the official religion of Rome. At the close of the fourth century, the majority of Roman citizens had converted to Christianity."
