Why should atheists celebrate Christmas?

They shouldn't, not really.

They can, however, choose to celebrate and honor the ideals that are usually associated with Christmas. Because you can still share the philosophy of what fortuitous behavior is regardless of the source it may or may not have came from.

It's technically not Christmas, but they can have a celebration that nearly perfectly overlaps it.

Why do bitter,negative people always have to pee all over innocent fun? like they're better than everyone or something. It's so stupid and snobby.

Oh I know what you mean.

 

[Beatrice]

Yeah I think you've accused me of that.

".."
)o(

No I haven't......? Yeah you can be a killjoy sometimes, haha, but I wouldn't consider you snobby and appearing to think you're better than everyone else. That is a whole different level.

Sorry, I'm spamming the thread today, heh. But I just remembered something...


I was going to try to wean myself off of my Paxil (paroxetine for international users), because I only have about 10 left and still no insurance. But um, 10 isn't... enough, to wean yourself off. So I guess it's cold turkey for me, which is a really bad idea. It's no fun. I did it before, at my other college, and I think it's what led to my major depressive episode.

Wait, then maybe I shouldn't..... @#$%!!! I don't want to be on this crap anymore, I don't like it. What do I do? :: I'm already getting withdrawal symptoms because it's been a few days without it. The brain zaps and dizziness and all.

I'll have to figure something out.....

Why should atheists celebrate Christmas?

Why should they? Did someone say that we have to? I don't celebrate Christmas. I celebrate the "holiday formerly known as Christmas," which I now call "That damned holiday that starts in September and goes on until early January and gives me the warm and fuzzies inside but leaves me poor and makes me want to tackle some old lady at WalMart for the last (insert really popular gift item here)." Christmas and ChrisTmas are two totally different things.

Tell me about it, i went one day without it and i felt horrible. I want to get off it too. Someone did tell me though that it's possible that i could be on it for life, i just hope the next doctor i go to, has a different opinion. i think weening yourself off it with the help of a professional is best though.

Chanukah, really? Are you Jewish by ethnicity? I'm asking because I am on my father's side

Turns out I have a refill, so I'm all set for now. Need insurance, and then I can ask my doctor to help me wean off it. *phew*

I usually feel fine without it for a day, but I"m only on 20mg. How much are you on? You shouldn't have to be on it for life as long as you don't take it more than a few years at one time.

My grandma is Jewish, and she is really the only family member I get along with
And that is awesome! Judaism is my all time favourite religion to study, I tried to convert when I was younger but it would've taken too long and I wasn't so serious about it....

Just got back from the lonely friday night gym session, with all the other unfortunates that have nothing better to do.

Are you feeling down, booboo?

Well that's good to hear . I'm on 40mg. Well i certainly hope not to be taking it for much longer, but i guess time will tell.

 

[Rufus]

Man, I am boooooooooooooooooored...and possibly suffering from a bit of broken heart syndrome. Grrr, women!

Billy Ray Cyrus and your achey breaky heart, I command thee to entertain me on this Friday night. Or anybody on chat if you're bored too ::

I used to walk through shopping centres like the lead singer in the Verve. I never bumped into anyone, I'm not a violent person. I was so full of anger, I looked through everyone. I hated myself, I hated people, I hated my job, I hated the town I live in, I wanted to be wished away. I was full on attitude, angry thoughts gone wild, and going downhill fast into depression and panic disorder.

My impersonation was pretty good. A couple of girl's said. "Look, he's like the guy out of the verve." That gave me a buzz at the time. They get it, I thought. Now I think, hell, I was in a bad way back then, and I feel sad about the pain I was going through.

Need to get a drink. I havent in a long while but its gonna be too hard to be sober tonight...

 

[Beatrice]

Kind of, i'm in a rut.

Talk to meeeeeeee <3 (there's your heart you wanted )

Don't know what happened, but I don't think that could solve your problems, Pips...

Of course you've heard that millions of times somewhere else, but maybe it means that it's true.

You seem a smart guy, I hope you'll make the right decision.

Sometimes ya just can't deal with the evening without a bit of liquid courage

Don't worry. I'm not a recovering alcoholic or something. The only reason I haven't drank in a while is because I always have so much studying to do for tests that I prefer to keep a clear head over the weekend. But I'm depressed, lonely and now stressed. My therapist finally went the tough love approach with me and told me that things in my life weren't going to change unless I got out and did something. So she said she wanted me to go on my first date by the time we have our next meeting. Yeah I know that the only way to solve my loneliness problems is to go out and make a change, but it doesn't take away the anxiety and the fact that I'm socially inept. So now I just feel hopeless altogether and a failure that I can't do something that other seem to do with a lot less effort. So staying clear headed tonight is just too painful.

I don't think the therapist will be too disappointed if you managed to even go as far as chat someone up or make a friend. Those are pretty big steps too.

I mean does she/he want you to find a stranger or?
