		<description>Atheists don&#039;t celebrate Christmas for God. It was originally a pagan holiday, you know. And no, Atheists are not like teenagers. They are the adults.</description>

		<description>you are comparing, teen hormones, and people who beleive there is no God?
Being a teen is a hard time in life, and not all teens disobey their parents and such. And if you don&#039;t beleive being a teen is hard, then why not go see how Jesus dealt with ebing a teen? Oh, wait, they don&#039;t cover those years in the bible, I wonder why...</description>

		<description>That is such a self-centered statement. You are ignorant. Not everybody believes in what you believe - thankfully. Christmas is not a benefit from God. I personally do not believe there is a God and Christmas is about love and family. It means something different to everybody. Atheists are probably far more intelligent than you.</description>

		<description>joy at Christmas is mainly something for little kids. Lots of adults get stressed out about organization and being guilt tripped to buy presents. domestic violence increases over christmas too... (see link)

I am not a fan of organized and obligatory happiness, and I would be perfectly happy to get rid of Christmas...I am only doing some of it for my parents.

Please enumerate other benefits. Christmas isn&#039;t one of them. These days, Christmas produces most benefits for stores.</description>

		<description>No.  Teenagers are like teenagers.  Teenagers don&#039;t disbelieve in the existence of their parents - many simply think their parents are stupid or weird.

Atheists are people who don&#039;t ignore God or hate God or enjoy any &quot;benefits&quot; from God, because they don&#039;t believe in the existence of any God or gods.

I enjoy holiday festivities around Christmastime with friends and family - and I am neither atheist or Christian.  Who says one has to believe in your God to have any fun in life?   

Actually, your God seems to frown upon people living their lives as the imperfect beings he made them to be, capable of experiencing pleasure and striving to do so - doesn&#039;t make a lot of sense.</description>
