Since you left, I suppose this may be a waste of energy. But perhaps someone else here may benefit from it.
With all due respect: you go where the need is, Anon. You cannot mandate morality from without. Your "it's not church so it's fine" strawman reeeing is just silly. Christmastime is one of the very few times in the year when most unbelievers even stop to think about God at all. "To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some." [1] Are you in fact disdaining going out into the wheat fields ripe for harvest, friend? /christmas/ exists to bring some sense of community & camaraderie into a world ravaged by the Globohomo & their evildoers, ravenously bent on all our destructions. Would you destroy that venue of refuge & hope simply because it doesn't line up with your own personal sense of propriety ATM?
As to your apparent claim that God is in an angry rage at myself and other anons who participate in /christmas/, honestly I don't see where you derive that as being especially worse than other common human endeavors in life. All is vanity apart from the salvation wrought alone by the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Savior of the world. Trying to trample (as a purported Christian,) on the one board in the entire IB universe that is a general celebration of Christ's birth and the good news that God has come down to mankind is misguided IMO -- to say the least! :^) "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength." [2]
Similar to the amazing, unexpected gift & plan that God chose to sacrifice Himself on all our behalves [3] and thus bring about the believing Christian's eternal redemption by God's grace alone -- saving us from eternal damnation in hell below -- who knows if He might also save some through /christmas/ as well? Please leave Him room enough to work here, kthx.

Regardless, God bless you and all the rest of us here, Anon. May we all learn the true meaning of Christmas during this holy season. Cheers. :^)
