I’m agnostic myself, but this is exactly how I feel about it Tanya.

To Janis: I agree with you 100%. You nailed it perfectly - what He is about, how He reaches us, and who we are to be. Thanks for the wonderful note!

To Jaibones: Very well stated in your post! You represent my feelings almost exactly, especially on wishing sometimes that secular society did not celebrate Christmas at all. I’m a Christian, and I often feel that way, while I, too, enjoy the lights, etc. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!

Evangelical atheists piss me off. They are the people that call the police because they know that someone is having a party, not because there is any noise coming from it. They are the modern inquisators. That they don’t see it is mind numbing.

As a Christian who regularly engages the kind of anti-theistic wackos who put up the sign in Washington in debate, your message here is welcome. I know that not all, or even most, atheists or agnostics are hostile towards religion in general or Christianity in particular, but an actual reminder of that fact from a person of good will (such as you have shown yourself to be here) really does go a long way towards stopping any stereotyping of atheists that my admittedly “scewered-by-overfamiliarity” perspective might tempt me to have.

May you and your have a VERY Merry Christmas!
