why are Christians so mean-spirited?
like telling me I CAN'T celebrate christmas with my family and friends because i don't believe in JESUS. DX
when it is more commercial then anything anymore. to me it is about gifts and family. and don't they realize it is a PAGAN holiday that Christians re-named? that is where the tree and gifts come from they just added it being about Jesus being born. My basic thoughts are that religion makes you think that you are above everybody else because you possess the ultimate truth that there is a god, and you have a personal relationship with him so you KNOW what god wants so everything that you do is correct!
Christians will become hateful bigots when they think that everything they do is condoned by god when they believe that they have this relationship with him, and they don’t want to educate themselves about other beliefs or other kinds of people so ofc people are justified to say that Christians are mean when that’s what Christianity is all about!
SO they think they can tell us what we can and can't do.
But I'll do it anyway. Like every year.

I am a christian who was just thinking this same question earlier. Other christians are mean spirited to christians and non christians. There's no reason for it. I was taught we were to love everyone no matter what. Guess some folks didn't get that memo.

I was going to answer your question, but you saved me the trouble.

Because most churchie Christians follow Paul the Bigot, instead of the Beatitudes of Jesus.

I was an atheist and enjoyed Christmas, without Christ - but with my family.
I can tell you that as much as I enjoyed it then, it doesn't compare to the joy I feel now.
Merry Christmas.

I tell THEM not to celebrate Christmas with Santa and gifts and trees and decoration because CHRISTmas is about Christ, not Santa!

I relished your every word. Thank you for speaking up. Of course, the Christies will condemn you for this, but, as you've effectively said, it's their job to p*ss on people who aren't in their club.
