Debate on what exactly December 25th was originally.

I'm about 131% I'm right.

Your walk isn't silly enough for such a grant

that's a bit silly, but I guess it depends on what your argument was.
What do you think December 25th was originally?

We have a man in Japan who can bend his leg all the way up behind his head and back down again while walking and- oh the tea's here

His argument is the ol' Jesus was born in the manger and all that. What interests me is that he's not religious at all.

I'm not trying to argue the religious side of it (that's a different hour on facebook), but factually I think that's crap.

First off, nobody knows when Christ was born... not even Christ (I don't think)

Second, I'm pretty sure no one in the right mind would be walking around in the desert AT NIGHT

Third, Before "CHRISTmas", the last week of December was originally a Pagan holiday, celebrating the winter solstice, coming of spring, and all that other druidic-hippie shit. It was called "Yule" (sounds familiar, eh?).

Constantine was originally (I don't know the term, but believed in the Roman gods) though converted to Christianity shortly before he died. He understood that that new ideology would conquer more people than his empire ever could (boy was he right, there's what... 2 billion christians in the world?) and that by him and his empire being Christian, it would be a lot easier to conquer people (all for the purpose of expanding the empire and passing as much on as he could to his son). But to first conquer, he had to convert.

The first on the crosshairs were the Pagans, large and number and would make a nice, loyal Roman followers (and make nice Christians who would give money to the church)

Now, such a shocking conversion from one ideology to the other wouldn't be in the best interest of the Emperor, so he decided to blend the two of them to make the conversion a bit easier and more accepted. Yule, the biggest Pagan holiday, where people celebrate n' shit, to Christmas, where people celebrate n' shit.

I'm not saying what Jesus is and isn't or anything like that, I'm just saying that the 25th wasn't his birthday.

(i'm not an expert by any means, this is coming from exactly 26 minutes I spent last year looking this crap up out of sudden interest)


What pissed me off was that he dismissed my claim without offering any rebuttal other than quote "your retarded"

[Azhiri]

I'm pretty sure he has done no research to support his theory and is just parroting the same old thing we've all heard for.. pretty much our entire lives. Meanwhile, you've done (at least a little) research and that alone should make you as a part of the "debate" (or argument, whichever you like) more credible.

Man, my balls went SCHLOOOP as I recoiled back in my chair

I've been hit square in the throat a couple of times and it hurts like a mother fucker... I couldn't even imagine how it'd feel in the eye.

I'd probably scream like that too


Chuck Norris wouldn't though... his eye would open it's fangy jaws and swallow the whole thing
