Actually, we DO celebrate the RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY rather than the materialistic, narcissistic one that seems to be everywhere these days. Christmas was ALWAYS about the birth of Christ rather than the "stuff" that retailers want to make money from.

Both my kids and Grandkids know the REAL and TRUE facts about Christmas rather than the fabricated ones that revolve around the devil and materialism.

My dear in-laws - who walk the Christian talk closer than anyone I know - find joy in drawing names, and sharing gifts with one another at Christmas gatherings.  There's nothing un-Christian about it.  Besides, of the holy days, it's Easter that holds the most significance.  Christmas is close, but it's The Reserection, understandably, that holds the most meaning for them.  

To hear you tell it, bringing others a bit of joy via sharing gifts is sinful.  How sad.  

Obviously you injected YOUR own interpretation/words because I said absolutely nothing about gifts or joy. What I said was that we don't do the materialism thing but, like all secularists, you want to put your own spin on anything you don't agree with.

Thankfully what I said is in writing and no matter how you twist, interject or lie about what was in my comment, it stands on its own.

Now you're going to try to tell us that you didn't infer that you don't share gifts with your - and I quote - (emphasis, mine)

...expression?  Nice attempt at game-playing.  (But you might want to look up the definition of, "narcissistic.")

Furthermore, and far more seriously, how dare you presume to know my relationship with God?

I did not "presume" anything! I was merely reading and then responding to your comment and replying to it. Your comment said that I am against gifts and joy, NOTHING I said in ANY way said that. It was once again your own bias, your own ideology and your own supposition into my comment. Maybe you need to take elementary reading to improve your comprehension?

The Bible is full of incidences where people used their own bias to interpret what Jesus said rather than what He actually said. They did the same thing when President Trump was in office.

Your belief or guilt about your spiritual condition is yours and yours alone. You can try to hang it everyone else but, it's all yours.

The Bible talks about people thinking that what is "holy", "righteous", "pure", etc. is actually not. The comments about Satan being "good" is an example of how things have went down. People will worship the devil thinking that he is "god" while rejecting and denying the real God.

Reversal of order.

I did not "presume" anything

You presumed that I was a secularist.  Something I'd take high offense to, had I not considered the source.

I was merely reading and then responding to your comment and replying to it. Your comment said that I am against gifts and joy, NOTHING I said in ANY way said that.

Actually, yes, you did.  I merely pointed it out.

It was once again your own bias

What bias?,

your own ideology

What ideology, exactly?  

and your own supposition into my comment.

I didn't suppose anything.  You flat out stated that you celebrate the birth of Christ "RATHER THAN the "stuff" that retailers want to make money from."
Why do you persist in denying it?

Do you EVER consider the definitions of the words you type as you babble along incoherently?

Right. Those who are stupid, lying, etc. never think they are. Maybe you need to actually READ my comment, IF you are able to read and understand english. You claimed that I said "birth of Christ" and that is NOT what was in my comment, but of course you knew that and had to alter the comment to support your ridiculous assumption and feigned outrage.

No comments were altered.  

good grief.

You can say that again.

Obviously a secularist would have no knowledge nor understanding of the Joy of the Lord...
