ONE Merry Christmas in an oversized book about Christmas. But if you talk about it, you're a conspiracy theorist. When it's fairly obvious these lefty maniacs don't intend on letting us enjoy even a sacred holiday that inspires the best in people. But for the left, that's probably evil or something.

You’re both going to be really angry when you find out that Christmas is essentially just a repurposed pagan holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus rather than Saturnalia or winter solstice like the Romans. Christmas trees, kissing under the mistletoe and even the actual date itself were all traditions that dated back before Christianity existed. But don’t let my facts stand in the way of your fight on the front lines of your own personal Waterloo: DC Comics and their “wAr On cHrIsTmAs”.

Also, claiming that DC comics is preventing you from enjoying “a sacred holiday” (based heavily on pagan traditions) because they don’t have enough Xmas stories in a holiday special is the absolute most pathetic possible version of the classic bullshit argument that “letting gay people get married ruins all marriages.”

@RedKSuperman: I suggest you block the most dumb member of our community. Don't worry, he'll make up fake accounts to attack you if you do so. Block those, too. He isn't worth your time.

LOL, Classic Merlyn. Ignore anything I say that refutes his obvious bullshit, before making 100% completely false accusations (usually about alt accounts) and trying to block.

You don't "refute" anything, you just parrott lefty talking points you hear from others, don't pretend like there's even a hint of originality in anything you say, you're waaay too dumb for any of that. :))

Ah, more kindergarten level insults. What part of "Christmas as a holiday lifted a ton from various pagan traditions" is a leftist talking point? I'd pay actual money to see you try to explain that gem.

I've already said my piece to you and you didn't deserve even that. @RedKSuperman: Trust me, some people aren't worth your best efforts.

You can't actually disprove what I'm saying and you're clearly embarrassed about that fact so you're throwing around shitty insults unworthy of a 3rd grader. "i sAiD mY PieCe" LOL

Still waiting for that an explanation on how pointing out the Christmas traditions borrowed from pagans is a "leftist talking point." Oh wait, that would require some real knowledge of what you're talking about. That's hard. Why do any research when you can insult and deflect and then declare yourself the winner?

Ok what is this? Is it tell me you’re crazy without writing that you’re crazy post time? Look it, I’ll walk you through how these things are intended to work; I read a comic book, I post a review, you then view it and either you agree or disagree with it then you move on to another review. I really don’t care if you agree with me or not. If you want some further reading on the topic of the importance of Christmas to the development of Western Society I have included a link to someone who can

. So please never talk to me again and have a merry Christmas as well as a happy 2022. https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/12/2202/

Interesting reading, RedKSuperman, thank you for it!

Posting an article from a Clairmont Institute member that credits Christmas for the development of morality in the world is some classic Christian selective pseudohistory. This is a deeply unserious statement and ignores a plethora of world history: "We can only say that the development of the idea of equal human dignity was bound up with the propagation of Christianity in the West, and that we cannot know for certain whether that moral idea can survive without its religious support."

It's pretty easy to claim moral superiority when you ignore everything in Christianity's history that wasn't so morally upstanding (Crusades, Catholic church coverups of underage rape, forced conversions of minority cultures) while ALSO ignoring the existence of any culture that developed outside of the reach of Christianity (most Native American cultures were peaceful and moral for example).

@RedKSuperman: Told you so. This guy is sick to his core. There is no reasoning with him.

In the spirit of Christmas, all I ask for this year is a direct refutation from Merlyn regarding anything Loafy said.
