    I've only time to get drunk on Good Friday, I'll get round to the rest of your list later in the year.
    You sound like one of those jesus people, shudder.

    If you think about it, it is rare for people to have a problem with Jesus rather than the institutions that humans have set up in His name.

    I agree, it's difficult to see fault in alot of the teachings of Jesus, it's the whole idea behind the Jesus story that I find a bit silly:

    God sent Himself down to us to have Himself sacrificed to Himself to appease Himself for the flaw that He Himself made in us:p

    And back on topic, didn't Jesus have a drink of wine vinegar off the sponge on good Friday?

    Think about it logically. If you want to communicate to human beings, how best can one do this in a way that humans understand? Coming as a human being makes sense.

    A lot of the crucifixion is also down to a recognition of God's grace and a realisation that we can't live perfect lives. God spares us from the judgement we deserve from Him precisely because He loves us. He does this in human terms because this is the best way we can understand.

    He declined it but it is wholly irrelevant to this argument. It as far as I can see it wouldn't be a sin Biblically. If it is not this, it must be the case that it is from human testimony and authority.

    Although I used to agree with the Good Friday rule, I really don't care as long as people are willing to show grace to eachother and recognise that Good Friday is a significant day on the calendar for Christians.

    On the idea of 24 hour off-licenses, I definitely don't agree with that for obvious reasons.

    I don't want to take this thread off topic, but when I think about it logically, none of it makes sense:D But hey, if it makes you happy.

    I was making a joke about the wine vinegar (should have put a smiley after it:o) I'm aware that it was a man who misheard Him and thought He was thirsty.

    Anyway, back on topic, my brother (an atheist) had a tradition of getting blotto on good Friday while watching Ben Hur...good days:)

    Meh, it's not really all about happiness. I really don't see how it is as absurd as it describes. Perhaps that is part of the reason why I am not an atheist, which doesn't make much sense to me :pac:

    Are we really such an alcoholic country that we can't go one day without buying drink?!

    It's not even the Church anymore, it's the State. Like a bank holiday for off licenses - you can't buy it, no law saying you can't drink it. Who are you even "making a stand against" by drinking in your own back garden? Get over it!

    Main priority is to stop people referring to 'him' with a capital H like he's all high and mighty or something.

    I hate the way it's illegal to buy heroin on Good Friday. I'm not a heroin addict but it's the principle. :mad:

    I'm badly in need of a good session.

    At least Good Friday wont be too far away when us Irish get to give 2 fingers to those who would repress us.
    Big BBQ & BYOB lined up, it's been great the last few years.

    Next we need a day where the church/state try to prohibit blowjobs.

    You'd have more fun getting bladdered if you weren't so bitter about 'the man' trying to repress you

    Think about it national house party day might never have existed if it wasn't for these evil communist 'oppressors'

    I have gone 7 days without buying a drink and I will probably go another 6 days doing the same.

    I do however find the restrictions put into place on Good Friday and Christmas Day absolutely moronic.

    I dont drink myself, It doesnt affect me one bit, its just the principal of the thing. The bloody church telling us what we can and cant have on a certain day. I've had enough of that shít in my life growing up and honestly they can just go and fúck themselves.

    Cool starry bra!

    I never said that. If a pub landlord wants to open their business on Christmas then why should he be banned from selling alcohol?

    These points are ridiculous. First, many people do work on those days. Second, even if not 1 person wanted to work on the days in question, why do you want to legally prevent people from doing so?

    Also, you do understand that the vast majority of the world's population aren't Christian right? Not just atheists.

    Indeed, but in Irish culture who would want to work on Christmas apart from a very slim minority?

    As far as I know many people of other religions also use Christmas as a time of celebration.

    Of course they do... Sure didn't the Christians nick it in the first place?

    There are a lot of people that dont want to work any day.

    Also there are many people that do work christmas day every year.

    And as eblistic said - christians don't own christmas - they stole it much like coca cola and other groups stole it and rebranded it.

    This is being disingenuous, and it isn't what I meant at all. Most people wouldn't work on Christmas Day even if they were asked to, this is my point.
    eblistic wrote: »

    This is irrelevant to the argument, which is that a large proportion of the population wish to celebrate Christmas and it would be very difficult to find people willing to work on Christmas Day. I know I personally wouldn't be.

    axer: I've covered your post pretty much in this post.

    I dont know any athiests who dont enjoy spending time with their families, relaxing in front of the tv and eating too much food, thats what christmas means to athiests, religion has nothing to do with it (it was a pagan festival first btw)

    Thought I'd dig this thread back up as you've only 2 days left to stock up before National Drinking Day.
    The weather's set fine so I'd recommend a box of cold ones & a bucket of ice.
    Action stations people, look lively.

    Well, you get bladdered then you loose the ability to pronounce words.
    I could go back & edit that but I think I'll leave it as is.

    Hope you've stocked up soldier.
