Things that really bother me...part 2

Yet another thing that really bothers me(there are many in this strange world).
Christmas.
Christmas is a Christian holiday. It is not about some fat old guy with reindeer racing around the world delivering presents. It is not, oooo presents! It is celebrating the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. And there are random atheists and other people defacing Christmas. It is a religious holiday. Just as I am not celebrating Rosh Hashanah, non-Christians need to remember that Christmas is a Christian celebration.

Things that really bother me...

As you can tell from the title, I will be talking about things that bother me. People these days incorporate many religious aspects into their lives and de-religionize it(is that even a word?). For instance. When someone sneezes, people just say blesshuu or some other smooshed random word. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD IT WAS ORIGINALLY GOD BLESS YOU AND SOMEONE GOT LAZY, SHORTENED IT, AND TOOK ALL THE MEANING OUT OF IT, AND YES IT SHOULD IMPLY SOME DEEPER MEANING THAN BLESSHUU. GET IT RIGHT PEOPLES!

What to believe?

There are so many different ideas and theories in this world, its hard to know what to believe. People will turn any way that there seems to be an answer. Aliens, scientology "it's whatever you want it to be, whatever feels good to you is right". urrg I hear so much of that now that it isn't even funny anymore. However, through all this, Christianity has survived and prevailed, still challenged but not defeated. When you have one guy saying we developed from a "big bang" and a cell and that somehow got somewhere versus someone saying that there is a higher power that is the master of all creation, who's easier to believe? Personally I think Charles Darwin was a little sleep deprived when he thought of his theory of evolution. If it was true, why aren't cats dogs and why aren't all monkeys people and why aren't people some other crazy species?
