I'm an Atheist/Agnostic and I still got presents.
"Jason, It's great that you celebrate the birth of our savior even if you are satanist"

Oh my, not this again.

Agnostic: a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God.
Since when did credible fact play any part in what Christians celebrate and when? Lets face it, Christians would celebrate the breaking of Mary's hymen if they came up with a holiday for it.
As for your second question, let me answer it in a different way. I have a nephew, his family are not religious but all his young life he has looked towards xmas as the time when Santa comes to visit, leave him presents and toys. It is how he has been raised simply because in the mainstream, that is what xmas is about. Where do we see Jesus being used as a marketing figurehead?
Religion and the Christian god will be dead in a few generations, Santa will reign supreme standing over the broken cross of his fallen rival. Save for a few sad followers, who as their lives slowly come to an end realise they have wasted their lives on a belief of something on par with the Easter bunny.
Maybe I'm celebrating the birth of Humphrey Bogart or Issac Newton.
Oh my, not this again.
My apologies, the comment was just a bad humor.
-I believe that Jesus existed because so many believe in him.
-Only two things are certain; People will always trust in God and North Korea will not surrender.
So you are a sheep?
Just because millions of people believe in something, doesn't mean that its real.
Jesus was born in April. The reason for celebrating his birth in December is the symbolism that the savior is born toward the end of time.
No. If you watch the news on recent tragedies in America you'll see quite a different picture. "Faith" has played quite a roll in their progress to recovery. :dunno:
-I'm not as innocent as a sheep and I do not believe everything that has said.
-One might say that Christianty is a mass psychosis, but at least Christian message is well intentioned.

If it involves pushing your religion on others, regardless of whether they want to be part of it or not, protesting things because the "Bible" may or may not say so clearly enough for you, belittling women and ignoring actual proof and fact over your beliefs, than yes, the Christian message is well intentioned.
