Gurn is a Deist. T-Cat is an atheist. E-man is a Christian. Which one is correct. WE will see one day. And when we meet I hope there will be acknowledgement to the one who had the correct vision and information.

I am agnostic.

And know.... we won't see one day.

And if we did meet... well that would prove you wrong now wouldn't it?

Christ was only added to this Winter celebration by the Catholic Church. Jesus was not born on December 25th.

There are many pagan traditions with Christmas that the holiday originated with.

If Christ was taken out of Christmas....it would continue as it did before Christ was added to it.

Saturnalia became one of the most popular Roman festivals. It was marked by tomfoolery and reversal of social roles, in which slaves and masters ostensibly switched places."

From Wiki......and thank you. I was going to bring up the Ancient roman observance of this holiday and how it became Christmas in Great Britain and I believe is somewhat still observed today as "Boxing Day", but I could not for the life of me remember the name of it.

According to the History Channel, America took the role reversal tradition and did away with it, instead gearing the Holiday as a day of giving instead of taking.

Right... You admitted that your formula was unable to provide the answer required. In other words, however clever you may think it, if it cannot do what it was intended to do, you have failed. How exactly does this failure make you smarter than Einstein and Hawking?

If you're man enough to admit you were wrong, there will be that acknowledgement.
