Why would you even celebrate Christmas? It about some guy born and now in heaven with God since you don't believe that why do you celebrate it.

I have always wondered when you look into your childrens eyes and see only worm food - how does that feel?

When I look into my childrens eyes I want to be with them forever - to do that, I must believe in something of an after life that comes with a God - you don't - you reject it, there is not God, no afterlife so, you are here, you die and are simply part of the food chain. Basically worm food.

Must be an empty life, I feel sorry for your children - I guess they love you and would like to be with you forever - how selfish are you?

I can answer that: because I like all the pretty, glittering lights, and gifts, and big dinners with family and friends! And the Christmas tree smells really good.

All flippancy aside, many of us atheists are still what I call "cultural Christians." We think a lot of the Judeo-Christian morals and values are very positive. Unlike Islam.

So the idea of a secular holiday is totally foreign to you? What about New Year's Day, Independence Day, Valentine's Day, even Halloween? Christians are past masters at adapting existing holidays to their own ends (Christmas, Easter, etc), so why is it so hard to believe that others would do the same thing? I have always wondered when you look into your childrens eyes and see only worm food - how does that feel?

You know how foolish you look when you ask such idiotic questions? I suspect you are think you are being clever in trying to shock someone into changing their beliefs, but all you are doing is betraying your profound ignorance as to how atheists really think and behave.

Ah, so you base your faith on wishful thinking. "If wishes were horses then beggars would ride." I see.

I feel sorry for your children - I guess they love you and would like to be with you forever - how selfish are you?

Save your condescending pity for someone who needs it.
