Oh wow, it's like 95% of Christmas consists of paganic traditions.

I would say that at this point most people celebrating Christmas aren't Christian.

The fact KFC managed to brainwash a whole country into thinking christmas is about buying their products still really creeps me out. It's even worse than our "buy presents for everyone" christmas.

Christianity has always been changed to fit into local traditions and culture so that people would be more comfortable celebrating it.
I don't see why that's a bad thing. Religion should be about having fun and killing people who don't agree with you.

>>148330163
First black people and now the Japanese. How does he do it?

>>148330062
Pretty much.

I'm atheist and my only contention with Christmas is gaudy colours, it's that one month a year where people lose all semblance of co-ordination.

Wait, are you telling me Japanese people have to a large degree adopted a tradition of eating KFC on Christmas?
From my Chinese cartoons I knew about cakes and Christmas being one of a handful days a year when Japanese couples have sex, but I think this the first time I've heard about that.

ookurishimasu

Christians are the Jews of Japan.

They have a disproportionate influence.

They have never been above 5% of the population yet there have been ten Christian prime ministers.

Some genius at KFC marketing made fried chicken a Japanese Christmas tradition under the guise of "giving mom a break".

>>148332972
Christmas is the combination of the northern European yule festival and the Roman Saturnalia.
They adopted a few Christian themes to it, but otherwise it's pagan.

>>148333075
You are so dumb it's unbelievable. History doesn't dictate meaning, people do.

>>148332972
Show me where in the bible they mention Christmas with the meaning it has today.

>>148333151
Which is why even the largely atheist parts of Europe still celebrates Christmas. Otherwise they would long have abandoned it.

>>148332695
>Being Pagan
>Not already burned on a stake

>>148333224
Yeah but those edgetippers still understand that the meaning of the holiday is to celebrate the birth of the saviour.

>>148333320
>the meaning of the holiday is to celebrate the birth of the saviour.
No, it isn't, because it's not history that dictates meaning. It's people.

>>148333387
Haha you are so dumb. Christianity isn't in the past it's still very much the present. The number of Christians grows each year. Your Christian-Pagan equivalency is invalid.

>>148333465
>Christianity isn't in the past
It is for large parts of Europe (mostly northern and eastern).

>The number of Christians grows each year.
In places like Africa.

>>148333545
>It is for large parts of Europe (mostly northern and eastern).
That's because Muslim immigration.

>In places like Africa.
And in the Americas and Asia.

Atheists: what if you're wrong? Aren't you afraid of going to hell?

If you are a Christian, you may go to hell too anyway.

>>148333604
>That's because Muslim immigration.
No, that's because of atheism in the socialist bloc.

>And in the Americas and Asia.
That's why I said "like".

>>148333613
Principles are more important than heaven. I could never forgive myself for allowing a monster like god to become the lord of my life.

>>148333613
If I'm wrong I'll be happy either way because I get to continue existing.
But I can't convince myself to believe something so unlikely just because of potential benefits that believing brings. The very idea is dishonest.

What if you're wrong and praying to the wrong God?

>>148333660
Haha you already lost stop responding.

I am from Muslim country but people here recently celebrating Christmas a lot more.

>>148333652
Christianity is the religion of the most successfull countries in the world, ever. That should say something about its validity. I guess you could say God blessed Christian countries, which became more powerful.

>Tfw Pagan shits don't know the Christmas tree comes from when Saint Boniface gave Donar (Thor) a beating, then Thor had to apologize and stop demeaning child sacrifices from the Germans, but Bonfiace being the absolute madman that he was cut down his sacred tree and told the Germans to bring trees into their house in celebration of the great cucking of Thor

European countries are first world countries because of colonisation, and the USA because they took advantage of the economical situation in Europe after WWII.

Nah, they built up to it during the world wars.
War can be extremely lucrative if you are not really involved but only selling stuff to engaged parties.

Europe was successful even before colonization.

I mean who doesn't want to celebrate xmas?

Glorious consumerist mindset for free shit.
Laser light shows everywhere.
You don't have to come to work unless you're a wageslave.

It's like during New Years and having a free excuse to shoot your fucking gun like a madman.

You get way more pay for working on Christmas. If you time your workdays right, you can effectively work much less in total.

Before that was a massive depression.

>>148334178
It was, but in a world wide context, it didn't matter as much. For the most part, each continent kinda kept it shit for itself, the only major exceptions being the discovery of Americas and any conflict happening around the Mediterranean Sea.
And even then, if anything religion was an obstacle to technological advancement and economical expansion.

>>148334384
I think I'll pick African folk religion.

I just have fun buying stuff for people, and only buying gifts for Christmas makes it easier than keeping track of birthdays.

>>148334384
The chart is partially incorrect. I'm pretty sure you need to believe in God to entet Heaven, according to the Catholic Church.
