@ Why Do So Many Non-Christians Celebrate Christmas?
WTF???? It may shock you to learn that christmas is not a christian celebration like you guys claim it is. Christmas originated around the celebration of the mid-winter solstace with evidence of this dating back 4,000 years.
but back to your moronic post, firstly your link does not work, otherwise id happily visit and try to de convert you and your cohorts. Now lets destroy your anaology bit by bit shall we
1)Something can't come from that which does not exist, so the universe requires a cause. not true im afraid, if that was the case the same could be said about your god. Who created your god? if all things need a creator. Whereas the very early universe dealt mainly with interactions between physical forces and chemical reactions, with chemicals acting the way they do due to the newly established laws of physics.
2)i have no idea what your on about here mate, heat death?? exponential progression of conscience, what has that got to do with whether god exists or not. The fact is you claim atheism to be morally bankrupt. Thats a big statement to make. well tell that to all of the SECULAR charities around the world, such as comic relief which has rasied hundreds of millions of pounds, and was founded by richard curtis ( a british atheist comedy writer) to help the lives of africans who suffer starvation and disease,or live aid which again has pumped hundreds of millions into Africa, saving millions of lives which was set up by Sir Bob Geldof (another morally bankrupt atheist) or bill gates - the gates foundation... the list is endless.
If anything, it is christianity that is morally bankrupt, as you dont care about the rights of others (homosexuals, women, etc)and you only care about doing the right thing, not to help your fellow man as we do, but to get the keys to some mythical heaven. if you bother reading this, i want YOU to personally e-mail me with this so called "evidence in nature" and we'll go through the science together shall we(your in safe hands here as im a reserch scientist), so we can get to the meat of your strawman argument about nature. I want you to prove not only to these good people on here, but to me also that your particular god exists, to which if you can provide the evidence i'll convert. (needless to say in 22 years no-one ever has..)so i dont hold out much hope.
my e-mail is ianbrightman1975@yahoo.co.uk
so to you Why Do So Many Non-Christians Celebrate Christmas? I throw down the gauntlet. Prove to me with actual evidence that is teastfiable that god exists, if you possibly can. i dare you......
have a happy yule!
* to everyone else here, soz about the rant, i had to take this joker to task!!!
