Anyone in the same boat?
All the discussion of what Christmas means has given me pause. Spiritually speaking, i've called myself a "Christian Mystic" in the past on these fora. The last couple of years have brought a few changes into my train of spiritual thought. I'm currently in the process of retooling my Christian beliefs with my studies on Buddhism. So what does one in my position do about a holiday devoted to the birth of Christ when they are questioning the likelihood...

I need to start taking my own advice.
Why did I post a reply to "Intolerance" suggesting "Stupidiy, ignorance, and unkindness" should not be tolerated and on the same day tell Arliss to "STFU"?
Mind you, I never had anything against Arliss except that he likes to stir up shit in a thinly veiled troll-like manner. But there are more thoughtful, productive ways of informing someone that deliberately punching others' buttons isn't necessary. ...

It doesn't matter to me whether I believe in the bible story of Jesus. Every culture has their own myths, and to me they are important and exist beyond their truth.
When I went into Notre Dame years ago and St. Patrick's this last week, I was impressed by the power of the faith of so many people to build such a beautiful piece of architecture. I feel the weight of all humanity, and that is a very spiritual experience for me. I don't know whether I'm feeling the presence of God, and I consider myself sort of Catholic to honor my ancestors, particularly my father. I have a strange relationship with God that I've been working out for years. It doesn't mean I can't appreciate the power of faith.
Chistmas for me isn't about Christ, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. To be honest, at this point I think Easter is a better holiday in our culture to do some serious reflecting on the meaning of Christ and Christiainity. Christmas to me is about family and brightening up some of the bleakest days of the year. It's a time that gives us a good reason to see friends and family. I get to buy things for my son and family and make things for them. The best thing I did this year was not worship Christ but to make my mom a Christmas tree for her hospital room.
I don't feel an inherent contradiction in my very tentative faith and my celebration of Christmas. In the end, all celebrations are about the people celebrating, even if it's to honor God....
