Winter-een-mas, for getting together with the family you choose. I don't like having to buy gifts on demand. It kills my lust to give anything at other times. All I want is good food and play some board games with close relatives, but I get that from time to time when birthdays are celebrated anyway so if christmas was no longer celebrated that wouldn't really put a dent in what I care about. Oh, almost forgot Julmust! Gotta have julmust, that's definitely the most important thing about christmas. |

I'm Christian too, so that drops your coefficient more. Anyway, did anyone see this? |

Send a Yule card instead. Celebrating the return of the light was NOT invented by christianity On top of that a lot of the christmas story comes from the god Mithras So it's not just the cristmas tree that has a pagan origin Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

You know there is some difference between Wicca and Witchcraft, tough a lot of wiccans will tell you there is no difference But Indeed I only use firefox Explanation : Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

I see you are refering to Gerald Gardner who "made" Wicca in the 1950's.. Is it so hard for you to read what others post ? Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Is it so hard for you to write legibly? My previous post stands. It doesn't matter if you practice "witchcraft" or "wicca" - you're just as foolish. -- |

Let's start with the part where you believe fairytale nonsense that's idiotic and just not plain grounded in reality, add the pretentious emo-ness to it, and we have a good basis. -- |

Ok let's start with that part. Short (and maybe rude) answer: Longer Answer: - What make's you think I'm EMO ?? I celebrate life, like all "real" witches do - I don't believe in fairytales, Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

Buried? I think you're thinking of Voodoo, a completely different matter. |

Aren't all these end of the year celebrations really celebrating the fact that the sun is making its comeback? Christmas misses the solstice by 4 days, New Years is even worse... They "moved" Xmas way back when to merge with the Mithra solstice thing. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Hmmm... I guess. The idea was the birth of Christ, then it got fused with a winter festival, so yeah I guess. |

@Kikaru Wrong again, but according to my religion everyone is here to learn Witches don't worship any "devil" Don't take my word for it, read some history. About the conquistadores for example P.S. to a real witch suicide is nonsense, you'll probably start over with the same life. @Arthur Kalliokoski That's true Jesus was born in spring (that's a fact !) so what Do witches "worship" Perhaps one day we will find that the human factor is more complicated than space and time (Jean luc Picard) |

We all know I'm Jesus, and I was born in July. |

Quote: That's true Jesus was born in spring (that's a fact !) Fact? Are there any other documents besides the Gospels? And the Apocryphic Gospels? Some may study them and figure out that the shepherds wouldn't have been there doing what they did if it had been in December. Some say therefore the whole event took place in autumn. But I find the Gospel (Mark's Gospel, I think) rather fictional on this point. It is more of a legend with literary value. The author's idea may not have been to point out the right time of the year for us. I bet he wanted to tell other things. Some have studied ancient astronomical calendars to trace events like the Christmas star (constellations, comets, supernovas...) and placed the event to year 3 BC (there are lots of other possible dates, too). Again, that's kind of interesting but a bit off the main subject. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

What was the main subject again? I recall something about muffins ... Quote: Some say therefore the whole event took place in autumn. Yeah, that's the generally accepted theory. So it's a "fact" Jesus was born in the spring, eh? Facinating. -- |
