    Jesus exists and is God.  The word Eucharist means thanksgiving.

    Its not a religious holiday, and it is only Thanksgiving in a few weeks for the US.  The rest of the world celebrates at different times.

    It's not a christian holiday. It is a day to give thanks for whatever you have to be thankful for.

    Sounds pretty reasonable, given that the the original purpose of the celebration was to give thanks to God.

    I don't care. Canada also has a Thanksgiving. 

    Celebrate or don't. That's the end of it. 

    So only Christians can be American, Hunter? You're a symptom of what's wrong with America for so many years now.

    That's the FUN part about Religions.

    One may CLAIM, on "religious" grounds, ANY F[intercourse]ING THING they WANT to, without being required to offer testable, repeatable, consistent EVIDENCE that their claims comport with reality.

    Of course they will, ignoring the fact that Christians in other countries don't celebrate it.  They think they own everything. In past years we've had streams of posts from Christians asking why atheists celebrate what is "obviously" a Christian holiday.

    I don't know how when today's Christians are giving thanks to the wrong god?

    Look at Mr catholic still. eating His body and drinking His blood when "our examples" (I Corinthians 10:11) "Ate Spiritual meat and drank Spiritual drink" (I Corinthians 10:3-4) and the rest of today's Christians have followed their LYING precedent.

    I still don't know how when today's Christians are giving thanks to the wrong god (I Corinthians 8:5)?

    @PRINCESS

    They are so (((IGNORANT))) when "trees" is a metaphor for "men" and should be considered when reading Jeremiah 10 they've misinterpreted for "Christmas trees" but is A MAN people sets high on a pedestal. 

    "Then the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You come, reign over us!’" (Judges 9:10)!

    Its a holiday for Christians as much as everyone else. It is a day of thanks for every one so I don't know what you question is supposed to mean. Everyone has a claim to the day.

    "The vast majority of Americans have been taught---incorrectly, that the first Thanksgiving was between the Pilgrims and Indians in 1621.

    The first Thanksgiving to the one true God was celebrated eighty years before the Pilgrims’ feast on September 8, 1565 in St. Augustine, Florida between Catholic settlers and the Indians, and the Holy Mass was offered. The Pilgrims later copied the event from 1565

    And let everyone remember that "Thanksgiving" in Greek is Eucharistia. Thus, the Body and Blood of Christ is the true "Thanksgiving Meal".
