People can celebrate what they want but if you include one thing that can't be proven you have to cover the whole range of daft ideas, from Christianity to Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.
Nath - Advent calendars aren't part of my culture and I was born here.
It's Xmas - great, let the kids have some chocolate and make it exciting by sticking it in a calendar. But linking it to a fairy tale that encourages them to believe a complete load of cobblers is just plain wrong. It offends me that people are allowed to teach, as fact, a load of rubbish that someone made up as a method of control. Selling that bullshit by to kids with chocolate is a *beep* outrage.![]()

Are you saying there was no Jesus of Nazareth? Or are you saying there was no virgin birth in a manger with a bunch of random strangers and farm animals around?Buckley said:![]()
Xmas is great, as is chocolate. But the Christ story is as real as the tooth fairy and shouldn't be taught as fact to anyone.

Thats ok though because Christmas isn't a christian festival, but a pagan one which those pesky christians tried to pinch.

In that case all religious teachings should be banned in the UK.

I forgot we were talking about where to get Barbie Advent (Countdown) Calendars and not having a religious debate
Thanks missy, I didn't know there were any Asdas down here compared up north they're all over the place.
