Coincidence?

Merry Christmas with extra Jesus. I hope that makes you happy Ceeboo.

Hey Molok

Merry Christmas with extra Jesus.

That sounds like a Burger King order.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to you too! :)

I hope that makes you happy Ceeboo.

Happy?

Peace,

Hi JM (Mery Christmas) :)

What do you want us to talk about Cee?

Perhaps my OP was a little fuzzy? We can talk about whatever you wish. I was simply and only asking if all the recent atheism back-slapping threads and Christmas fast approaching was coincidence?

Anyway, did you want to offer an opinion on this proposed coincidence?
Or?

I don't see more "back-slapping" than normal. Perhaps you could define it for me and give examples. I don't expect you to count instances today against last week or anything.

I also don't see why it would be coincidental with Christmas, since christians do not own it and many atheists celebrate it.

You could start a christian back-slapping thread if ya want.

I think I would need a few Christian hands available to do the slapping of the back, no? :)

Peace,
Ceeboo

There are more than a handful of christians on the board, my friend. As a matter of fact, I am dialoguing with a couple of them in my "contradictions" thread. I imagine you'll be shocked that I've been agreeing with them!

Christmas right around the corner and all the recent atheist back-slapping threads.

Peace,
Ceeboo

considering the atheist preference for always being behind...back slapping seems appropriate.
Merry Christmas to those with Joy in their hearts!
and Happy Holidays to those others who deduce and insist that they are nothing more than skin bags of chemical reactions.

Hey again, JM

I don't see more "back-slapping" than normal.

OK.
I do, thus the reason why I authored this thread. (I actually thought I hit a wrong button when logging on to the MDB and ended up at an atheist back-slapping convention.) :)

I also don't see why it would be coincidental with Christmas,

Nor do/did I, thus the questions in the OP.

since christians do not own it

Yes, I realize that Christians don't own Christmas. (I don't think I suggested they did. Did I?)

and many atheists celebrate it.

Yes, I realize that many atheists celebrate Christmas as well. (I don't think I suggested they don't. Did I?)

There are more than a handful of christians on the board, my friend.

Yes, there are a few. It's just hard to find them among the mounds of atheists here. :)

As a matter of fact, I am dialoguing with a couple of them in my "contradictions" thread.

You talk to Christians? :)

I imagine you'll be shocked that I've been agreeing with them!

Not at all.
I am usually shocked when MDB members don't agree with Christians.

Peace and Merry Christmas,
Ceeboo

So, you cannot give me any examples? None at all? I am not convinced.

I am at a loss as to what your point was, exactly. Was it a joke thread and I took it too seriously? That happens sometimes.

Happy Yule!

Hey again, JM.

I wasn't trying to convince you of anything, JM. I was asking (if anyone happened to agree with me about the recent plethora of atheist back slapping that is all over the MDB of late) if they thought it was a Christmas coincidence? Or something else? (Please note the use of the question marks) :)

I am at a loss as to what your point was, exactly.

Huh?

I didn't/don't have a point with the OP. I had a question.
If you don't agree with me about the recent atheism back slapping (no problem, friend) then you probably can't answer the question.

Happy Yule!

Merry Christmas!

Peace,
Ceeboo

[_just me]

Obviously the question was born from somewhere. I was trying to get more data. That's fine. Don't share. I can't answer your question.

Happy Yule!!

Back to your OP, Ceeboo. I guess that the Christmas season does bring up atheist conversations. Personally, I have always loved Christmas (regardless of my beliefs). The tree is up and the lights are on my eaves. I am expecting Santa (who ever that turns out to be).

No snow here (there never is), but it is raining cats and dogs and they say big snowfalls in the mountains tonight.

In case you missed it in my earlier posts, please have a fantastic Christmas!

Hey Quasi

Back to your OP, Ceeboo. I guess that the Christmas season does bring up atheist conversations.

Huh? (Interesting)
Maybe it is just that simple?

Personally, I have always loved Christmas (regardless of my beliefs).

Yea, me too! :)
In addition to my personal belief, I love many, many things about Christmas.

The tree is up and the lights are on my eaves. I am expecting Santa (who ever that turns out to be).

I share your expectation of Santa (New clubs.....PLEASE)

In case you missed it in my earlier posts, please have a fantastic Christmas!

I will!
Merry Christmas to you too, friend. :)
