Not everyone was quite so impressed though. As redacted from the New Testament, Judas stood up and shouted "**** off Jesus, you can put a tenner in the kitty like the rest of us!'
oh dear ......

Oh we'll be doing some of that also, and the pressie bit with the whole family on the 27th, just not forcing the teenagers to do this or that and just shutting ourselves off for a couple of days, lovely!

Indeed. But I am happy to ride on the back of the tradition. Tony Benn understood this; as an atheist, he loved Christmas. As do I. There is no need to apologise for enjoying it, or feel the need to avowedly eschew god. After all, there is no god
Don't get me wrong I do love the Christmas feeling and the goodwill that seems to overcome the most grumpy of people at this time. I've had a very tough year and just looking forward to stepping off the treadmill and relaxing. I don't feel bad about celebrating the goodwill and enjoying the company of friends but I can't wrap it all up with Baby Cheeses!

Always makes me chuckle when "believers" think the immaculate conception is the virgin birth, when actually it is all to do with Mary and nothing whatsoever to do with the birth of Jesus. It takes an athiest to teach them what they believe in

Doesn't the story say that Mary was about 12 years old and Joseph 90 years old .... now I don't know about you but I'm thinking Operation Yewtree?

So Atheists have the evidence and know the answers?
How comes no one's told this to the Agnostics?

Im riding on the back of a whale while i type this
If something does not exist it wont have any evidence because it never existed a bit like i dunno ......god
There is nothing to prove,if there is no evidence then it is HIGHLY unlikely and just common sense and logical thinking will lead you to the right answer

Totally agree with you.
This is all just one big coincidence. The evidence is right Infront of you!

I´m not sure how you read that from my post. I was saying that many religious people believe in the immaculate conception, but don´t know what it is.
The very point of an Athiest argument is that we don´t know, but with a complete lack of evidence decide not to believe. In fact, a true athiest doesn´t really exist as the argument of an athiest is that without evidence we cannot be certain, hence there has to be a 0.00000001% chance. This by definition means an athiest is agnostic. There are different extremes of agnostics though
