I can see why it's important to a point, but not nearly the point that they have thrown down his death, giving up his life in order to save us all, to a day that almost no one outside of the Christian faith recognizes.Deepcrush wrote:Nick, you honestly can't see the importance of Christ being born???
The importance of Mohammad is that he is the final Prophet of Allah. Also that it was his teachings that Islam really set off to.Reliant121 wrote:Being very firmly non-religious, i dont find anything significant. But., several million christians obviously do.

Not so strange. Islam views itself as the Heir to the christian tradition (I suppose that's a poor choice of words but you know what I mean). They are an Abrahamic faith just as Christianity or Judaism (they view Abraham as the father of their belief system), however they do not agree that Jesus was the savior, only that he was one of a line of prophets, the last of whom was Mohammad.Reliant121 wrote:Being very firmly non-religious, i dont find anything significant.

Most certainly, and worse yet they only seem to put the crappy ones on a 24 hour loop, there are a couple good Christmas movies, none of them ever play on Christmas.Mark wrote:Lord do I hate Christmas sometimes.

Good for you, Nickswitz! It's nice to know there are some people out there who are willing to help others. I know some people who would have just continued walking on. And I understand about the adrenaline wear-off, too. You just want to crash like a cheap Italian warplane.Nickswitz wrote:Today while at Lowe's I saw a gentleman who was trying to lift his vans hood to put in antifreeze, but he was in a wheelchair (he ws in the handicapped section) so I started walking over to help him out, and as I got there the hood of his van slipped out of his hand and gashed his forehead pretty bad. So I ended up standing out there for about 20 minutes helping him out, called 911, then called his mother, he was mentally handicapped, who was worried, although quick glad that I had showed up to help, and then put the antifreeze in the van. The worst part was had I gotten there like 30 seconds earlier there would be no gash in his forehead, and he wouldn't need a hospital visit, although I'm still exceptionally glad that I could help him out.
So I feel jittery and hyped up on adrenaline. Which is a fun feeling at first, but when it starts wearing off it feels pretty crappy.
And if you work in retail, don't forget about the endless Christmas music that slowly bores its way into your brain, eventually draining you of your sanity, gradually reducing you to a catatonic drooling thumb-sucker. Working at Radio Shack with Sirius XM Christmas Channel on... all... day... long... will do that to you.Nickswitz wrote:Most certainly, and worse yet they only seem to put the crappy ones on a 24 hour loop, there are a couple good Christmas movies, none of them ever play on Christmas.Mark wrote:Lord do I hate Christmas sometimes.
