But it's not like everyone didn't already know that. Even babies know that something's going down because they receive a lot of stuffed animals and other clothing items. Because you can't get a baby much else. But still... While I enjoy getting presents as much as the next guy, and I do enjoy shopping for other people as much as shopping for myself. I don't share the philosophy about Jesus' birth. It may or may not have been the birth of the Christ and that's fine with me, but I personally see no point in celebrating it. It's like celebrating the birthday of Bill Gates because he practically invented the most used computer operating software. Bill Gates did something for me but I don't celebrate his birthday.
Admittedly Jesus did do a lot more for people than Bill Gates did. And his contribution spans a larger time span.
I speak flippantly about all this because I want to care more, But I don't. I see some people going to Christmas services and I think "Good for you." I have been brought up in a household and religion that doesn't really emphasize Christmas. I mean being born is nice for the savior of the world but seeing as he's not around to receive the gifts its not emphasized. I'm being flippant again.
I think being flippant about religion is my way of deflecting questions about it. I feel uncomfortable because I'm not certain about it. It's easy to not answer if your not sure of yourself. At least that's how I see it.
I've asked for help for people but their methods don't seem to be doing it for me. Maybe this really is one of these things that you can only do for yourself.
