Techincally speaking i'm christian.
I was christened and celebrate christmas.
If you celebrate christmas you are a christian.
If you celebrate easter you are a christian.
So why all these "i'm not in a religion" votes.
I don't go to church though.
And i'm attracted to men which is apparently against the bible.
Wow i used a lot of space.
Because England is a christian country, well we'll be Hindu, Jew, Muslim soon. As a christian country we have 'holy' holidays like easter and christmas.Quote:

As Mentor said, Christmas is a remake of an old pagan festival of Winter. Basically, the early Christian Kings of England couldn't stop the pagans from taking part in their own rituals, so one of them decided to make it a Christian festival, that sneaky weasel ;)
And let's just sort something :P Being Christened and celebrating Christmas/Easter doesn't make you a Christian, nor does attending church. None of it means anything if you don't have the faith to go with it, you can hardly be a Christian if you don't completely believe that Jesus was born of a "pure" woman and died to save the sins of mankind. Oh, and all the rest of the Bible too, but from my experience today's Christians just focus on the main aspect of the religion and ignore the rest.
Not trying to bump - Just flicked through.
I am....
Its how you interprit it. It doesnt say "You can't be gay" nor does it even hint twards homosexuality, but it has to do with the part about intercorse. I hate it when people who say take all the time to protest gay marrage because of the bible, yet the bible I know says a million times to help the poor. But no, they cant help the poor which the bible is very big on, they have to stop boys from kissing.Quote:

So your saying:
Anyone can enjoy the holy festivals. Its about enjoying but also remebering G*d.
I guess i'm kinda like a Lazy Christian, I believe in god and Jesus and everything but I'm far too lazy to go to church and everything lol.
