I hope you are being sarcastic. I believe you are, but one can never be sure unless the winking smily is put up! In fact Christmas is a Christian holiday. It's the birth of Christ. People in North America celebrate it because Christianity is the dominant religion out here. Christmas is not celebrated in some other religions. People who don't follow or believe in Christianity have altered the form of Christmas. They now celebrate Christmas as a time for family and friends to get together and give gifts. This is all cool, but the original underlining message of the birth of Christ is being lost. Personally I see Christmas has become nothing but a coorporate joke. Buying countless gifts for people, only to have countless gifts given to you. In essence nothing more than a huge shopping spree on yourself. Nice holiday eh?

Do you not find it just a tad assinine to celebrate the essentially trivial birthday of Jesus as opposed to celebrating and living by the message he came here to deliver and was trying to get into your thick skull? Tolerance, acceptance, not judging other people, being loving etc.
There is no doubt in my mind from what I've learned from Jesus' words and teachings is that he would have no problem what-so-ever with gay people being allowed to get married in a pluralistic society such as ours.
