Christmas changing to 'Winterval'.

[GommeInc]

I'm always going to call it Christmas, regardless to whether or not the paranoid politicians who are the only ones concerned with the name, change it or not. It was on the news not long ago, they brought on a Muslim student talking on behalf of a Muslim Youth Society who was for Christmas, not against it, and every Muslim in her group was for Christmas. They also brought on a vicar who wants it to remain Christmas and she liked it that other faiths were for Christmas. The two guests were getting on like friends, no matter what relgion they were apart of...

If anyone is against Christmas, it is the paranoid people behind the name Winterval. Paranoid because they think a war or riot will start over the name of a festival/event which is the main event in this countries main religion.

Same, no matter, even if it becomes illegal, which is more likely than it sounds with these paranoid people, I will still and always call it Christmas, because that IS what it is.

[uh huh her]

tbh i couldn't really give a **** if they name christmas some different, cos it'll still be christmas to me. what i do give a **** about what some people have said in this thread. have you got no ******* respect for other peoples beliefs & views? england isn't only for ******* chritians, its a MULTI-CULTURAL county. so, the majority of people may be christians, but it doesn't mean that if someone who is muslim or hindu moves here, they aren't allowed to celebrate they're own religious traditions because england is a 'christian nation'. what utter ********.

Christmas technically never was about the birth of Christ, but ignorant people just assumed it, now thats what everyone believes. Its a historical fact that Jesus was born in spring.

exactly. it has no real religious meaning anyway, people just assumed it.
& to those who said that people who aren't from england should 'go back home', are you going to live in england all your life? i certainly don't want to, its full of ******* idiots who can't respect other peoples views, no wonder the worlds a **** place. seriously, england is a piece of land, its not your country, its not anyones country.

In your case no trying is nessassary. Most christans even accept most of what ive said as true, the same way they accept the genisis story isnt true, well unless you do belive the world is flat, and the sky is made of water?

How is it lame duh!

That song is what was sung to/about slaves.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

Master is the slaves, well master. That song is a racist song and that is why it has been changed.

Before you start stating things, make sure its backed up.

and where is your evidence? hypocrite much? and actually, you're still wrong.

"This song was written to help children associate wool with the animal that produces it, and also the sound that a sheep would make. Baa Baa Black Sheep was first published in 1744. It probably dates back to the Middle Ages, possibly to the 13th Century, and relates to a tax imposed by the king on wool. One-third went to the local lord (the 'master'), one-third to the church (referred to as the 'dame') and about a third was for the farmer (the 'little boy who lives down the lane')."

so next time you state things, try not to get it horribly wrong and make a fool out of yourself.

That would have been a Libral Chrsitian who thinks Genisis is not true. I believe in it word by word =] your either luke warm for god or hot it says in the Bible and god only wants you to be hot for him. So go the full way .
