^this obviously.. I might have expressed myself badly since english isn't my 1st language. Of course everyone knows most religions were just the simplest most effective way to control the masses, trough fear and eternal damnation if you don't follow the "will of the bearded sob sitting on a cloud somewhere" aka the ruling classes... so there is a lot of stick there, you also have to aply some carrot for getting people on board, esiest way? Target other basic instincts of men, bonding, family, celebration etc. but make them about the gods.

And no my friend with poor reasoning, I don't beleive celebrating holidays are the only way to live a full life. Most of my family activities are not 'religion' based, since we are mostly agnostic/atesit -ish. We do other stuff, sure we eat classic holiday food for most part since it's good & it is a way to make it special, as opposed to normal everyday food. We might have a go kart competition if we're up for it. The point of my reasoning was that friend, seem to make it his(?) mission to dismiss/hate all holidays, since corporations try to sell him stuff during 'real' holidays & the more made-up like Valentine's. What does he expect, it's a capitalist society most of us are living in, companies do what to earn money thus they accually put some effort into selling stuff.

The point being, you don't have to buy all that crap, you do what you like - this straight from the apperant 'normie' sheep, that can't think for himself!
