I don't care if this is politically correct or not, and I'm not sorry if this offends you. It's the truth. If you're offended, that's your problem. Have a nice day! :D


I found that EXTREMELY Rude, thank you very much. Other beliefs than yours are perfectly acceptable.

And by the way, the true meaning of Christmas is celebrating the longest day of the year and honoring the Roman god Saturn, the god of agriculture.
Christ was actually (supposed to be) born sometime in April or Spetember. Please get your facts straight.
The only reason it is called Christmas is because when Christians came and tried to convert us Roman Pagans we didn't want to give up our holidays so to make it easier, they lied and said they celebrated the same things. Halloween is also ours. This is a well, proven fact not an opinion so weather or not you accept it it is true.

Merry Saturnalia. :P

EDIT: Just a little thing, if i'm not mistaken this is Jesus, not god, I was given to believe they were 2 different people. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
{Happy Halloween}

That is true, Ananda, it is ok to have other beliefs, but I am a proud Christian, and (in my opinin, which I think is right as a Christian) That Chrismas was made for Jesus's birthday. Jesus is not God, yes, but he was made in the form of his father, God. But, tetting away from that concept, This is a very beautiful and unique piece. I don't think that anyone has ever done this before! :clap: :)
I'm a christian and proud of it!!

Well, you're entitled to your own beliefs and opinions, and so am I. I'm tolerant of your beliefs and in return I'd expect you to be tolerant of mine please. Nobody likes to read hateful posts like this that tear down the meaning of Christmas. If you disagree, please just don't comment. You're not changing anybody's opinions here, you're just bringing down the mood. If you want to challenge my faith, just PM me so we can debate in private. Thank you.

Thank you for creating this picture. It's absolutly gorgeous and it's a reminder to all of us that Christmas isn't about presents, or decorations or Santa Claus, it's about the Son of God who gave up everything and came to Earth as a helpess baby, born so He could die for our sins because He loved us so much. It's not X-mas, or Happy Holidays, it's CHRISTmas.

Fantastic. People seem to forget that Christmas starts with CHRIST. This story always made me want to just sit and listen in awe. Baby Jesus is a fantastic thing and we can only thank God for sending his only son and praise him. For his is the Lord and he loves us.

I want no part in fighting verbally over different religions and beliefs. Christmas is a pleasant time to celebrate with family and friends and for some, to celebrate Christ's Jesus's birth.

For those who celebrate Christmas as something else, or for other reasons, Well then merry Christmas! For I have no conflict with you and I never intend to.

I am tolerant of all beliefs and I was fine with dropping the topic where I last left it, but I feel the need to defend myself here. Mine was never a hateful post, and it certainly was never intended to "tear down the meaning of Christmas". All I did was voice my opionion and a fact in responce to what I felt was a disrespectful statement (please refer to the quote in my first post) and a post that didn't follow commen knowledge (Christ not being born on the twenty-fifth of december.) I have no problem with your faith, your choice of celebration, my only problem is again the quote in my first post struck me as disrespectful, especially considering you said that it was true when all religion is based purely on opinions. I am going to leave this here and not reply again. I apologive to anyone who may have taken offense to this post, none was intended. Thankies for reading.
EDIT: Again I apologize, I didn't see part of your post to respond to it. In reguards to your statement that I am not going to change any opinions I would like to point out that if everything we said was intended to change an opinion we would go mad with frustration and the human race would fall to chaos.
Also, I never intended to challenge anyones beliefs and I most deffinately do not wish to pursue this any further.
{Happy Halloween}

This is what CHRISTmas should be about. If oyu don't believe, thats extremly sad. He saved our souls... Let him watch over forever and live healthy and strong forever. It's nots about the fancy gifts you receive form Santa, the jolly man coming down the chimney. Its about our savour, our lord... :) :D

This is amazing, CHRISTmas (even though I can never spell it right to save my life) really is about Jesus. This is also a gorgeus picture thank you for reminding everyone the true meaning of CHRISTmas.
