I'm surprised you haven't given up yet.
Everyone sees through your bs.
I guess it's only okay because it's Catholicism/Christianity though, eh?
Try making a thread like this about the Muslim or Jewish religion.
Sick of double standards that only apply to politically motivated agendas.
I lose more interest in humanity on a daily basis.
I love me some dona nobis pasta.

Though the Pig Latin joke falls flat, considering the Kyrie Eleison is a Greek prayer.

1 Corinthians 8
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
How did you manage to get rid of it?
Shady character.
It is a significant cultural holiday and an important religious festival, and it should be respected as such just the same as every other culture expects the same level of respect for themselves and their religious holidays (something Steam clearly doesn't give a flying f* about unless it affects their bottom line in some way).
But I doubt God cares as long as we are celebrating the birth of His Son. Whether it's December 25th or August 5th, it's the SPIRIT of the season that matters.
God is all-powerful.
If He doesn't want Christmas to exist and it offends Him that greatly, I'm sure He would have done something about it by now.
What about all the Tiny-Tims in the world?
Who wants to tell them Christmas is cancelled because, "it's not the right date", or some other bs along these lines?
Seriously.
It's a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus and give glory to God and wish the best for your fellow man (no matter how misguided, like say, op possibly...?).
It's mind blowing and heavily unsettling to me that people are so threatened by such a peaceful and joyous holiday.
Everyone talks about how stressful it is and all this over nonsense, when most people don't even realise why they are doing it. Nobody is forcing anyone to participate (unless you're Christian, then it's obligatory. At least, it is with Catholics).
If it bothers you, don't do it, but let everyone else enjoy it (not you specifically Neopolaris, I'm just saying this in general).
Respect is not automatic for anything.
Just exactly what do Valve do to offend things? By not mentioing Christmas in their sales and instead appeal more to a global market by making it seasonal instead? It's always been that way, and if you think that you're utterly twisting what you think is respect and pushing your beliefs instead.
Because this is exactly like so many other cases in the US - if you think that Valve need to offer something specifically mentioing Christmas then they need to also offer the same for ALL religions, including ones you might not like, like Satanism.
See how that works?
And why he's gonna tell alot of these fake Christians "depart from me I never knew you" in Matthew 7:21-23
It's not mandatory for anyone IN the faith, either.
Where in the Bible does it say to celebrate Christmas?
(As I recall, in the whole book, there's only two birthdays ever mentioned.
Both were for pagans... and both end up with a guy being executed (Pharaoh's baker, and John the Baptizer being beheaded).
You think it might be trying to tell you something about birthdays?)
And on the wrong date, too.
Reading the Bible, it said at the time of his birth, that shepherds were living outdoors with their flock (i.e. camping outdoors among their sheep).
The thing is, in Israel, December was when the rainy season starts, and so was usually cold and rainy.
In December, shepherds aren't living outdoors, they're back in their homes with the flocks in their barns.
Plus, Caesar Augustus wouldn't have been stupid enough to make people trudge through muddy roads in cold weather in the winter to register for a census (Which was why Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem to begin with).
Along with other areas of the book, it seems Christ was likely born in the autumn, probably around October.
Plus, Christ never commanded anyone to celebrate his birthday. Hence why the Bible didn't give the exact date.
He did command people to honor his death, which is why it was specific to when that happened.
-----
Besides which, Christmas was around before Christ was on earth.
It started as the Saturnalia, a harvest festival for Saturn, Roman god of agriculture.
It was a 2-week festival featuring gift-giving, heavy drinking, and merry-making.
During that festival, around December 25 they included the Natalis Sol Invicti (roughly "Birthday of the Invincible Sun"), as sun worship was popular in Rome at the time.
And the festival ended on New Years with the festival to Janus, the two-faced Roman god of endings and beginnings. (And where the month of January gets its name from)
Centuries after Christ, some pagans decided to try and camouflage their festivals with a thin veneer of Christianity. And apparently succeeded.

So yeah, it's a pretty intense subject.
And the OP really should have been more tactful.
I mean, I don't care what anyone does, but knowledge is power.
