People of NSG! As you may know, many crazy religious people believe that because of the saying "happy holidays", there is a war on the holiday called christmas, which they claim is sacred, even though they have let it become a commercialised nightmare. As a result, there are many posts on NSG saying "there is no war on christmas", and even though that was true, it's annoying, and I want this to stop. Therefore, I now declare a war on the holiday known as christmas.

To commerate this, and to piss the religious right off, i will, in a crowded part of Warsaw, set up a nativity scene, and then smash it. and make a video of it being smashed.

DISCLAIMER: this is intended as a joke. it would take me too long to set the scene up anyway.

1.Not sure if this is flamebaiting or not?
2.I'd rather have a war on the "TEH WAR ON TEH CHRISTMAS" threads.
3.What did the nativity ever do to you? :P

You make Baby Jesus sing sad country songs

"I fall to pieces"

:eek: :(

:p !Hurry!:p

Wow. How mature.

That's what I was thinking, I was going to reply to his OP but then decided against it. I've decided not reply to these types of posts anymore, it's pointless...Merry Christmas. :)

i prefer to be more subtle by using the term "merry christmas" with aplomb, but with absolutely no intended connection with the christian connotations properly associated with the phrase. that way i desensitise the term against its very own meaning and steal it from the christians. mwuhahahahahaha!!! ;)



or, actually, i just made that shit up.

They'll make kiełbasa out of you.

well, maybe i'll just skip the public performance and make a video. then they won't be able to unless the know where I live.

Go ahead, you've got my full support. The only good thing about christmas is the food.

Sounds like a good satirically-based action to me! I say go for it!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Christmas and, on good days, am even quite a fan of Christians (even if I am not a Christian and personally tend to lean towards favoring "Winter Solstice"... but I digress). The fact of the matter is that every year the Religious Right decided to make a huge issue out of the supposed "War on Christmas" so they can gain support for the unholy Jihad against Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, Elves, Presents, Misletoes, Eggnog, Reindeer, Jingle Bells, and everything else that is holy about this season. Personally, I get a bit sick of it - a group of people can only play "The Grinch That Stole Christmas" for so long... ESPECIALLY when they are trying to steal Christmas in Christmas's name.

I'll tell you a secret, folks. Jesus is NOT the reason for the season. The reason for the season is the fact that, around Christmas time, the "Sun" has been understood to both die and be reborn, translating into the coming of longer days. The "reason for the season" is the Winter Solstice which, because the Fathers of the Christian Church (if you're an "Evangelical" or "Fundamentalist", excuse what I'm about to say - everyone KNOWS that the "Fathers of the Church" were a bunch of paganizers who compromised Christianity to paganize it and give birth to the Catholic Church :rolleyes:) wanted to bring Pagans to Christianity, they equated it with the birth of Christ (whom traditionally has symbolically been equivalent of the sun... go figure).

There's your reason for the season. It's a wonderful holiday but too many people (on the Right *cough cough!*) see it as an excuse to indulge in the Pharisaism they can't quite find time to take part in during the rest of the year.

Happy Holidays, folks.

mmmmmmmmm gluttony :)

A secular alternative to christmas I've discovered: http://www.wintereenmas.com/

OK, it's not actually supposed to be an alternative, it can an addition if desired.

You are flame-baiting, knock it off or I am calling the mods on your ass. You need to show respect for Jesus, even if you think that he doesn't exist.

Happy pagan holiday!

If you're celebrating the birth of Christ on the 25th, he must be really sad on his real burpday. Have some respect for your own religious figurehead!

First, this is clearly a joke.

Second, why should I respect Jesus, what has he done for me recently. In fact I haven't heard much from him for a good 2000 years.

Why?

we must continue our oppression of the Christian conservative majority in our Christian conservative nation by depriving them of saying Merry Christmas...in privately owned stores...that say happy holidays...because they chose to....for whatever reason. CHRISTIANITY SHALL PERISH BY THE COMBINED EFFORTS OF THE ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC, BUDDHIST, MUSLIM, JEWISH LIBERAL CONSPIRACY FRONT!

Next objective: taking out easter. that fucking rabbit is pissing me the fuck off.

Wow! This really seems like flambaiting. It holds no agrgument whatsoever

Would you do the honors of making "War of Christmas II" on international incidents? I think that would take a load off your mind. Now people will be having and RP war rather than just flaming each other.

If you really wanted to make a statement, you'd strap a bomb to a sheep, have it wander into the manger and blow up the entire nativity scene. A sheep suicide bombing. That'd make the newspapers. :D

what will that do with the real world, which is where this is meant to happen, and is happening? Also, they might think i'm looking for a war with this NS nation. (http://www.nationstates.net/christmas)

Okay, first of all, this thread is totally, totally retarded. Christmas is for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. (and the cool presents) Secondly, I predict that by page 25 this thread will have devolved into an uber-flamewar far worse than the ones in the West.

So yeah, this thread wasn't a good choice.

No, i'm saying this thread is more than likely to do it early on. Most other threads have this happen at 100-140 pages. 181 for some. This one will have it happen at 40-60 pages.

The ones who first declared war on christmas were Christians in the United Staes.

The Puritans and the Prostestants refused to celebrate the holiday and many people in the colonies didnt want to celebrate holidays associated with the queens country, so many holidays were rejected in the United States.

The Congress sat in session during Christmas day for like 60 or 70 years.

The Christians really started the War Against the Yuletide. The Yultide is a big furry creature that mates with your villages ovulating women to commemorate the great believening. They also continue the Seige on Santa as well as the Battle of Bonita Cochina.

Now pagans are taking the yuletide back and soon the United States will begin the yearly sacrifices to piss off the Conservatives.

I should also mention that the Jews who were pissed off about Christmas being better than Chanukah so they infiltrated the Christian towns and formed interfaith families and now have a hybrid ChristmaChaunnaMasKa where they give each other gifts as they set nine christmas trees on fire and sacrifice and baby to Mother Mary. They are losing in the war on the Yultide as well.
