ANCHORAGE – Christians like to say that Jesus is “the reason for the season.”
But a group of atheists say no time of year should be free from “pagan reverie.”
To that end, Anchorage city buses are carrying some very non-traditional Christmas messages. The Freedom From Religion Foundation of Madison, Wisconsin, has spent decades fighting for the secularization of America.
Merry Christmas! People would be amazed that 1) many non-Christians celebrate the holiday season and 2) many Christians unknowingly implement pagan traditions into their commemoration of the baby Jesus.
This video takes a quick glance at just a few beloved Christmas traditions and some of their origins.
No Pat, it’s christians who stole the season in the first place and now wanting to plaster their Jesus idols all over the place, hence going against the bible and being total assholes… Speaking about “christmas” trees, what does your bible have to say about them, lets see.

Jeremiah 10:1-25
10:2 Thus says the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.”

WEAVERVILLE, N.C. — A North Carolina mother says her son’s school is refusing books supportive of her pagan beliefs after last month offering Bibles.
Buncombe County school officials are not accepting donations that could be viewed as advocating a religion while attorneys review policies.
Ginger Strivelli says that’s a change that blocks her from donating books affirming her pagan beliefs to her son’s North Windy Ridge school in Weaverville. Strivelli says the school’s principal had said she would handle all donated religious books in the same way as the donated Bibles made available to children who wanted them.
Strivelli says her fifth-grade son felt peer pressure to collect the Bible he brought home.
She says if schools allow one religion a place in schools they should be open to all religions.
Christians are a bunch of sinners.. celebrating pagan festivus, that’s eternal torture

How much do you know of the origin of the Christmas tree – of “Santa Claus” – of the mistletoe – of the holly wreath – of the custom of exchanging gifts?
