    Hi. I’m an atheist that doesn’t celebrate Christmas. You are probably from a part of the world where there is a Christian majority. Honestly I’m assuming American lol

        I am American and don’t celebrate xmas. Family forces me to attend their celebration, but I’m just tolerating it and successfully ditched the whole presets bullshit for me years ago.

        It’s funny, I keep seeing you comment about how spicy the comment section is, but this is one of your first responses.

        I think the problem is your shower thought just feels so painfully obvious to people, hence the comments vs votes. This person is trying to show you why it feels so obvious, and your response seems to denote both an understanding and an ignorance, it’s childlike.

        If you are American, you had like an 80% chance to be born into a family that celebrates a traditional xmas, tree/present/Santa, with Jesus being a common addon, but with an entirely separate mythology kinda tacked on to it.

        So you have a tradition celebrated since youth, attached to a national holiday, where the religious part of the tradition is unconnected to the fun part. Santa Xmas is totally secular. It’s would be more notable if you didn’t celebrate xmas. Which is why basically everyone finds jehovas witnesses so odd.

        Just kinda of a mid shower though, more of an I’m 14 and this is deep. Which if you are, no shade, just explaining.

          I should have just said america and religion bad. I appreciate you taking the time to type up an explanation. It was a thought that occured to me for 5 seconds and went. I’m loving the idea that people take a shower thought so aggressively seriously though. Means I should troll here more often. I’m not 14 (31) and wasn’t trying to be deep just pointing out an ironic silly thing. Said ironic silly thing is being taken as a theological hard stance about how I’m a dumb cunt (Direct quote) and don’t understand tradition. Its strongly indicating I should post bait here frequently.

            Yeah, when you pay peanuts you’re going to employ elephants. Anyone lucid has already engaged and walked away from your responses, so now you are collecting the rest of the “I’m 14 and this is deep” type crowd to talk to.

            This is a feedback loop of dumb crap.
