Predating Christmas was the Winter Festivals. A celebration of mankind and many religions. Not all people believe in Jesus but most celebrate Christmas because of commercialism. Actually, in my case, I want to show an appreciation for the people I love by buying them things.
The original point of the thread was to state that a boy understood that the calf he loved was a part of the bigger picture as was Jesus. Amazing a boy of 12 understood this. Not a bad point. Maybe narrow-minded (what his parents taught him), but not a bad point.
I stated that the video/text was "fake" or scripted and Fast Eddie defended that assuming that I was trying to tear God down which was not my intention.
No reason for a religions debate here - we can start another thread for that. EVERYONE is entitled to their religions beliefs. Thankfully we live in America.
THANKS to shaw9766 for posting this - very interesting
NO THANKS to the Christians on YouTube who gave people a neg rating just because THEY DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
NO THANKS to Fast Eddie for calling my post ramblings and stating that people should give their "holiday pay" back because they don't believe in Jesus
THANKS to lasik1 for thinking outside the box and focusing on what the boy's father might have/should have done
THANKS to Woopy V for asking a logical question - yes, that is what he said, he put the calf down, as I did when I was young
THANKS/NO THANKS to Jeff C for adding fuel to the fire LOL
