jporter12 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 lol I got yelled at in second grade for writing xmas. Teacher said I was crossing out "Christ" I don't have a problem with it, even less now that I know about "chi"I know the real meaning, therefore, I don't get so concerned about it. From what I gather, most people doing it out of laziness, and not out of disrespect.I can't remember where I first heard about "chi", but it wasn't snopes, that was just the first place I could think of to find it. I think it was my grandma, or pastor that told me about it the first I had heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerik Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 So I suppose I'm probably a bit of a bastard-- I use xmas (non-capitalized) for the sole purpose of trolling thin-skinned religious zealots. The real meaning or origin of a word often has nothing to do with the fucking hilarious responses you can provoke with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessPratt Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I got this in an email from my aunt last week. I know there are a bunch of agnostics/athiests that have posted on here but not every Christian is a Bible Basher that judges everyone. There are some of us who truly knows our frame and how many mistakes we make every single day. That's what the grace of God is for but anyhoo....this is the email and if every so called Christian would live by this the CHRISTmas/Xmas season would be much much better for everyone. Letter from Jesus about Christmas -- It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn. If you don't have a lawn, place a photo of my birth on your door or in your window. If all my followers did that, there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be so many of them all around town. Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8. If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it: 1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time. 2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them. 3. Instead of writing the President complaining about the wording on the cards his staff sent out this year, why don't you write and tell him that you'll be praying for him and his family this year. Then follow up... It will be nice hearing from you again. 4. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them. 5 Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her. 6. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference. 7. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families 8. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name. 9. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you. 10. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine. Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember : I LOVE YOU, JESUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SnOmAn| Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nice little letter here PrincessPratt...I'm not a nit-picky Christian, I feel I do my part in loving others no matter what. So when people use xmas, it really doesn't bother me. I know what Christmas is about and that is what matters, is how I live and love. I tell people if they want to hear, but if not, then I still love 'em. I feel that a lot of people love to complain, but it does absolutely nothing to help the cause, just makes it more fun for them to keep doing whatever. So, whatever it is you believe, I still love ya'll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'll read that message in a bit, pratt, once I get home.In reply to what Sno dude said: That is the best thing to do for someone that doesn't want to hear. Love them, and build a relationship with them. What else is life about anyway? Build a relationship, and let them see how things are for you, and when they're ready, they will start asking you what it's all about.
