Not trying to stir the pot, so to speak, but I have been called a heathen by more than one of my Christian "peers" on more than one occasion and it most certainly was not a joke. Just sayin'.
Anywho, I'm glad to see the post. Truth is a lot of people don't know anything about the true origins of Christmas, around here at least.
No doubt about that either, but typically most Christians (in the circles I have been around) never referred to unbelievers/non-Christians as heathen's- though it can be tossed around as a joke. But I do believe there are most likely many people who have no problem calling one a heathen, or being insulting. Usually these people are most likely not in the correct place they should be as a Christian in my opinion, they should read Colossians 4:5-6; "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone,"
But this could lead to a large discussion that would hijack the thread
I was a little irritated to find out that only female reindeer still have their antlers on December 25th and so, in spite of what I've believed all these years, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen are all girls!
