Jesus pbuh was not born on this day anyway. Some Christians I know don't even celebrate Christmas.


Yes it's not believed that Jesus was actually born on December 25th but most Christians choose this date to celebrate his birth. It is not a requirement for Christians to celebrate Christmas but it's a fantastic way to unite families, share food and presents and enjoy the company of others while reflecting on Jesus' life and what he means to us.

people who follow ME religions have contributed the most to the world. prove me wrong.


There's no need, that's irrelevant, unless you're implying that their contributions are down to their faith. In which I'd say that's quite a claim and I'd ask for some evidence.

Especially considering those cultures were progressing culturally and technologically before the advent and adoption of any of the big 3 today.

It had a lot to do with religion. Most of ME and Europe was a savage wasteland before religion civilised it. For many places religion was the first time people actually had laws to follow.

Flick through this whenever you have time.

Sure, I will admit that Turkey was a good place when it was inhabited by Greek settlers.


Must make you so mad when you read Istanbul instead of Constantinople :lol:

Nice one but what do you have to go off of?

Do you know about me volunteering at homeless shelters? Doing outreach programs for troubled youth? Taking care of my siblings? Getting off drugs? Trying to save a drug addict's life while she convulsed in the tub and saying she owes me everything?

Well you do now.

You don't need to be religous to do any of those things.

You just seem quite logical and with it I guess, you don't seem like you'd believe in religion.

I honestly meant no disrespect by it
