Posted by WillD on Mon Jan 3 12:05:27 2005, in response to ACLU's way: Re: Media Taking Christmas out of Christmas, posted by Broadway Buffer on Sun Jan 2 22:58:51 2005. And lets face it, w/o Jesus, there wouldn't be a holiday season, so there is no reasoning for censoring Christmas.No, we'd still have Christmas, just a different celebration. After all, biblical scholars disagree strongly upon when exactly Jesus was born. The holiday of christmas as most of the US and Europe, as well as significant parts of South America and Asia, celebrate it is a combination of the Christian celebration of the savior's birthday and a pagan festival celebrating the winter solstice. Even without Christ's birth back in 1±5 AD we'd still likely have some celebration passed down through the centuries to celebrate the shortest day of the year and the thence increasing amounts of sunlight per day. |
