Christmas with a Capital C - The Cinema Snob 

I'm more angry when people say "Happy Christmas". Dunno why, but it pisses me off.

@@MegaManXPoweredUp Yeah, you could make it so that everyone uses "happy" instead of "merry" and has no problem with that, and I bet those people would still think that "Happy Christmas" doesn't sound right...

Merry holidays

Pavlovian response. "Merry Christmas" is so naturally associated with the holiday now, any deviation subconsciously triggers the air of challenge to a time associated with cheer and thus in the negative.

@@mesektet5776 couldn't have boiled it down to its most primitive explanation any better myself...!

Yes, these people really do believe they're being persecuted when they're not allowed to persecute others, like they did for centuries.

Amazing when you turn on those who fought and secured your freedom and rights. Decades of relentless Hollywood-propaganda has eaten away like maggots at the foundations of this country. But go ahead cause anti-semitism but don’t expect much help extrication from the gulag.

America is a Christian country, fucknuckle.

​@@graemesmith6721Talk about the pot calling the kettle or let one without sin cast the first stone from the Bible.

Thus the minus half-a-Dove.

Berry Nice Spoopy.

Maybe it was released earlier for Patreon supporters and was unchecked?

I'm a time traveler @_@

Thank god she wasn't wearing pointed glasses, that might've given this movie a hard R rating.

If only a wizard would come along and give them all a brain...

So that's why I feel so itchy!

BOOM.

well they still exist and most of them are Christian now because colonization is a motherfucker.

According to the Mormons they were!

The Founding Fathers weren't Christian, either; most of them were actually Deists or INSANELY liberal Christians. So no matter what way you cut it, America was not founded by Christians.

American Exceptionalism. the belief that America is special, the best, the most righteous and chosen by god. Starting in the late 19th and early 20th century these ideals were taught to school children because there were too many immigrants and people wanted to make sure the newcomers were indoctrinated.

Is she gonna be the angel after she gonna be the worm face?

I'm still reeling from the fact that she wears the angel like 3 times outside of the actual play. It's the Xmas pageant equivalent of making all your Facebook friends decide which one of your headshots looks the nicest.

docdave15 I'm gonna be the angel! ........For You!

I'm disappointed she wasn't skewered at the top of a tree by the end of the movie. They literally promised me this and failed to deliver.

Yeah, the dialogue in this movie is so mawkish it's sickening.

Reagan? That was way before Starbucks was a thing.

I believe it was preceded by the Bowling Green Massacre

Caz the war on Pronouns will be the war to end all wars

Caz I'm a veteran of the war against Christmas and I'm still fighting it

Actually, the war on Christmas was started by Christian Puritans of New England in the 17th Century, where they successfully banned Christmas for being too merry. I'm not even joking, look it up.

Because it was terrible.

Cause I'm gay

Yes, but is it hateful?

It is if you're a mountain.

Because liking girls is gay

You know what else begins with a capital C? Chanukah.

Actually all holidays start with capital letters: Easter.Eid.Ramadan.Tet.Passover.Memorial Day.July 4th.Labor Day.Solstice.Festivus.Rosh Hoshannah.Yom Kippur Saint Patrick's Day Hogmonae.Guy Fawke's Day. National Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Yup, quite an acurate description of pureflix.

i think your confusing tolerance with acceptance

@@TheAllSeeingEye2468 well regardless, point is pureflix sucks.

Notice how "sense" and "Satanic" begin with the same letter? Pureflix did.

I do find it odd that these "war or christmas" movies always seem to make the good guys look bad and the bad guys look... like normal people doing normal things... until like halfway through where they then do some irrational thing like try and stop a girl from Caroling. after all Like Snob says, people don't care. so if you like it you listen. if Christmas isn't your thing, you just keep walking... wait I think I get it now. the movie is trying to suggest that even though the "bad guys" look like they are just being normal people, but they will take away everything if you let them. or maybe these movies are just poorly thought out and just bad movies... let's go with that one

God's Not Dead was the same way. The whole issue in the movie was a non-issue. The Professor said the semester is packed so they are going to skip the chapter about God since most people are of different religions or don't believe in God in the first place and the Christian kid had a fucking heart attack and went to war with the school. Christian porn, all of it.

Because these movies are terrible, that's why XD

And are the best actors?

Always look for those times when they say the quiet part out loud.

Ironically,the same bunch who constantly preach "respect for the government" are the same ones who stormed the capitol on January 21,2021.

​@JohnPatterson-kz8jr you mean January 6th

When you stop to think about it all good changes we had over the years were because people gave authority the middle finger. So yeah, that's an insidious line.

Sam Aronow HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Woohoo!! Purely coincidentally, I saw this comment on the actual date of one of those holidays!!

Seriously, though- I haven't spent a lot of time in Israel, so I'm genuinely curious. Do you do specific new year greetings there, like we do in the USA? (Because, if not, I'm just going to stick with, "happy holiday" this time next year...) I can definitely see that it would be much easier to go with "happy holiday," though. Unless you wanted to make up something really all-inclusive? Like, for instance: "happ-eid new sukkotovah passimchassover easterramadannukahpurimmas year?"

When I grew up people said Happy Holidays to encompass both Christmas and New Years since they're so close together. When the fuck did it get so complicated

were you making jewish hist videos 3 years ago?

WHERE’S OUR WAR ON HANUKKAH PROPAGANDA HUH?!?!

AnonJl1 I didn't think the grinch hoodie could be topped. What a wonderful time to be wrong

Was about to say. Grinch hoodie took the cake.

And more adorable.

AnonJl1 *better

oh come on, I don't think any of them lit up, played music, or even came with a Christmas tree tutu

the fatimagic as a Christian man, we’re sorry.

the fatimagic the people at Pureflix hate every religion that isn't their own and the think they're all high and mighty for being this hateful. Did you know that Radical Christians hate Halloween because it's an important holiday for Wiccans like me? I brought that last fact up to show that I also practice a religion these people loath and I wanted to highlight that Pureflix is full of hate.

Blessed be. i used to have a bus driver who was incredibly nice to me but at the same time she out right demonized halloween (my all time favourite holiday) for being "a holiday that promotes devil worshipping" and refused to let her kids go trick or treating and kept them home schooled their entire lives.

Alicethereaper666 But most Satan worshipers are really nice, and Halloween really doesn’t have much to do with them.

I know, my grandmother met a satan worshipper once and the worst thing she had to say about him was that he was chatty, and yeah halloween is another pagan holiday like christmas or easter originally were.

Genin99 fuck yeah bud! The original Christmas before it was stolen from us

Fight the bullshit War on Christmas with actual facts, please. Not bad history. www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/2s1yiz/actually_its_about_paganism_in_christmas/

Actually, Christmas began as Saturnalia. I celebrate my own holiday in December: Anti-Consumerism Month.

And more bad history. The date for Christmas came about because in the 2nd and 3rd centuries Christians were trying to add up when Christ was born, and it was a common belief that really important individuals often died on the day of their conception. Considering Jesus is held to have died around the Jewish celebration of Passover, early Christians dated the death of Christ to March 25 (or sometimes April 6), and the Feast of the Annunciation is still celebrated on this date. Hence 9 months after gave them the date of Jesus' birth. The winter solstice is the basis for the dating in non-Christian and Christian winter holidays, because Passover is fixed in relation to the Spring Equinox, not because of pagan traditions. I won't say that Christians didn't adopt some of the traditions of the people they were trying to convert, they absolutely did. But they didn't simply make up the holidays whole cloth in order to take the traditions. People seem to think that the people doing the converting were cynical marketers who didn't believe in what they were preaching, despite all indications that most of them believed very much in their message, hence why they were so determined to spread it.

@@dreamlandnightmare Yeah but Yule is easier to remember.

LunaMalfoy7 bisexual Jesus is in Supernatural, this is asexual Jesus.

gay jesus, bro!

Guys, we all know that this is Incel Jesus.

I was under the impression the actual biblical figure was bisexual.

No, that's the killer from Too Many Cooks

Is vodka really strong enough for this, tho?

IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE _white_ Christian _conservative_ , probably Evangelical branch given the *bad* reputations the significant minority of nutcase Evangelicals.

Let's just say they are all bad

@Carne Guisada I'm black and I don't think white people should be ashamed of being white. After all, how would you feel if someone said you should be ashamed of being black or hispanic or asian or middle eastern or gay?

@Carne Guisada It is okay to be white. I didn't choose to be white. I was born as one.

Droemar ahaha you’re so right!

@@kendallmoore4826 actually, they thought it was too pagan.

Man, I hope this movie didn't ruin that for you...

Chimerism101 nah. Those are some pretty awesome memories I’ll cherish the rest of my life

Hey, I'm glad you got a good experience out of this one! Good on you and him! :)

That's nice of him. He sounds like a great guy, just occasionally poor taste in his roles.

Clearly he does _not_ deserve to have to share a stage with thoroughly-loathsome Brad Stine.

genericAVGNfan the darkest period of our time

How old is this movie?

I don't get it either. Those books are terrible.

A+ writing right there. I bet the Dove people clapped a ton at that jab towards those "evil" teen vampire books (which were more evil in a quality and taste manner than a moral, good-and-bad way).

genericAVGNfan I don't know, there's this book by this guy, his name is something like Barm Storker, that were a vampire book that's pretty good.

true christian films are a good way to see who has problems getting a job in Hollywood

Yeah, washed-up actors who star in movies who care less about how shitty the script is.

Which is ironic because Married with Children was about a guy who was so flat broke, leftovers from a fast food restaurant was considered a feast of kings.

EnsignRicky011 If I ever see him in person, I swear to god I will say that to his face. He probably wouldn't even disagree.

aza4444 has Kirk even joined forces with PureFlix yet?

aza4444 It feels like he's trying to be Robin Williams but he isn't even crashing and burning. He can't even get that god damn plane off the ground.

I actually thought it was Kirk Cameron at first

At least Kirk is a fun type of embarrassing, gay Jesus is just awkward in how clearly resentful he is of his own sad life.

Yeah and Kirk isn't as s volatile as these clowns. This movie is like if the two conspiracy theorists with the mugs on their mouths and Cameron's brother-in-law were the protagonists.

Check out Feuerstein and his vertical Starbucks videos that started this whole mess.

They’re mad that you reminded them that not everyone is Christian. Even worse, your showing them sensitivity... Or something like that

I’m not kidding when I say this but I had a “friend” who yelled at me for saying Seasons Greetings is ok. He said no other religion or belief meant anything during December and asked if I worship Santa.

Hey!!At least Santa brings you presents if yout'e good!!!

@@nomobobby But I am pretty much a Christian… I just realize that not everyone else is, so it’s better to say “Happy Holidays” if I am greeting someone I don’t know. I’ve worked in retail and as a waitress. It’s just something you say that makes everyone happy. Even if they’re atheists the “holiday” for them can mean New Years eve. It’s harmless.

MrUnite4thechildren I was thinking he was trying to be an anti-George Carlin

I too got major Dennis Leary vibes. Without the beard, he also kind of looks like him, albeit shorter and fatter.

You can say the same thing about dennis leary ripping off material from bill hicks.

I was about to mention Bill Hicks. And since Dennis Leary was trying and failing to be 1000% Bill Hicks, that means this guy is failing to be Bill Hicks by 3 million percent.

oh he did not fail 3000% because not only did you realize what he was trying to be (suggesting some level of success) but for a brief moment thought it was him. I was like, this Asshat sounds a bit like Denis Leary... wait is it him? just younger?.. no wait, it is just some asshat...

chocobros1 Well, yeah. These characters (and writers, directors, etc.) don't actually give a flying fuck about religious freedom, or being able to celebrate your own holiday, just their own. They can't even tolerate the idea of hanging up signs of other people's holidays, and religions, but then turn around and whine about the removal of christmas as an injustice. It's this dumb idea that christmas is somehow special. It's rare you see a movie where the arguments brought up are so selfishly hypocritical that their arguments fall apart all by themselves.

Given how this country generally treats businesses that's kinda like going up to someone with a "happy holidays" and putting a "merry Christmas" sweater over their holidays one. It's weird and probably at least a misdemeanor. Also warrants a punch in the jaw.

@@iamaunicorn1232 This just made me think of some random dude I've never met putting a sweater on me. then saying "Now there it says Merry Christmas like GOD wanted" Like with how bat shit some people are I could see that becoming a thing

TheMouseAvenger These people make the whole Christian religion look bad and if you're someone that respects other people's differences, you're a better Christian than anyone at Pureflix.

Awww, thanks! ^_^ I do my very bestest to every day! :D

Christian movies really need to hire a consultant who isn't Christian who can tell them whether or not something makes their religion look really bad. It's like they have Christ-goggles on or something with some of the heinous shit they say/do.

@Planescaped - Or hire some actual "Listened to what Jesus told them to do" Christians to tell them "Dude this makes the Baby Jesus sad"

planescaped Yeah, pretty much any sane human being, religious or otherwise, can see that these characters are gross misrepresentations of both sides.

Now, now, there might be a few lifetime movies thrown in the mix. Those are always a treat.

clearly you didn't see the half season then

Apparently you have underestimated the power of a paycheck

111Firefly111 On the one hand, I'd do a movie like this in a heartbeat for a good paycheck. On the other hand, if I was already well off, I like to think I'd have have some standards.

I don't see how they could dry up. TBS airs it every weekday. I guess he is THAT bored.

I suppose appearing in this film could be the result of Married... with Children stars being the victims of Hollywood Accounting.

You're wide awake upon learning I grew up in a culture, that had communism but also has a 3-day Christmas out of which all are public holidays. A lot of companies actually close down before Christmas, and work 3 Saturdays in November to stay closed between Christmas and New Year's Eve, only to open next year. Of course, if a holiday falls on a Thursday or a Tuesday, Mondays and Fridays are off (to be worked off on a Saturday) and it's a deeply white Christian country. They still eat up these persecution movies even though 90% are Christian.

Spaceboomer Darkchaser ditto.

I saw it on Patreon almost a week ago. So I beat ya to it. :P

They're actually making a movie on the most played contemporary Christian song of all time: I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe.

This should be the pinned comment for the fact alone that you used the proper tribe names (then again the bar is so low, a president could give a speech before the portrait of another infamous for killing Natives, and still call a politician by a geographically wrong Native name because he never learned the English explored South America too)

My wife grew up in Alaska. She's not of native descent, but she knew a lot of Tlingit natives growing up.

Rose Weldon Nostalgia Chick did it a while back- consider that your Christmas Eve present while you wait for Santa

I tried googling that movie once, and my computer just gave me a suicide hotline.

Barbayat Bloodwater Fuzuku?

French girls want you to paint them, so hurry up and get to it you Slav Didgeridoo?

Flibety Flu ?

Fu? If you’re gonna hint it to be ‘fuck you’ then you should’ve said it’s two words.

IS THAT WHAT THE INTRO SAYS!?! I thought it was something about Salt! like "Rock, Rock, singing the Salt. Rock, Rock, singing the Salt... Rock Rock Rock, singing the Salt. passing me the butter, Thank you very much!" hmmm writing it out made me realize just how weird of an intro that would be... oh well, its too ingrained in my brain now to switch. guess Ill just have to get hungry every think I hear it.

Rachel Johnson that's not what sells copies to grandma

Alcendence LOL!! Sickeningly true.

What was the movie called? Maybe Snob can do that movie.

Adam Blunt I sadly can't find it but I found this new movie called "underdoges" and it looks a whole lot worst

''(^ I saw, didn't watch, a free movie on Amazon prime that was like "the conservative republican the movie" and it basically was a circle jerk of the idea that conservative ideas were being killed off by college kids. Again I didn't watch but I don't think I needed to)'' It would be more open minded to watch it before judging it

Hal Emmerich I need to see this now...

OH NO.

Is it on RU-vid? Time to find out!

IIRC, a good deal of it's part of the stand-up special "Put a Helmet On!" also, I think he has his albums on Spotify

Oh, sweet lord, no....reminds me of the Fire By Night series (Right-wing, Christian fundamentalist, Variety Sketch series)

The thing in the Bible references some wooden thing, like an idol, if I remember correctly, not trees particularly, but I think Jesus would still be like "What the fuck is this!? I told you guys to worship in secret and prepare for the apocalypse (that was supposed to happen 2000 years ago)!"

The best Christians pretty much take a few passages from the bible, like the Ten Commandments, and follow them. The rest they dismiss as fallacies of man, because 99% of everything people do now is forbidden by the Bible and a lot of its archaic laws make no sense.

Not according to Kirk "I was on Growing Pains now I grew into a pain"Cameron!! AKA Mr.Crocoduck!!!

As Chief Wiggum once said on the Simpsons, "the bible says a lot of things."

MissAshley42 Clarissa Who?

@Trent Walters I'm pretty sure that character was called Jefferson, not Clarissa. Clarissa is from a totally different show.

He's referring to Melissa Joan Hart, more popularly known for her role as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, she also had a long-running sitcom on Nickelodeon called "Clarissa Explains It All", in which she played the titular role. She was the lead in God's Not Dead 2: On The Move.

The fact Kevin Sorbo took part on these movies makes my hart ache...

Not D'arcy!

He also preached that you should cut out your eye or cut off your hand if it's making you sinful because it's better to get to Heaven than not have missing pieces of yourself, and looking at a woman with lust is the same as having sex with her, morally... But I get what you're trying to say.

Dude context. Jesus when he said that was saying that the only way to not be an adulterer is to take a eye and a hand so no one should be so quick to condemn another for moral failings. He did however beat the hell of money lenders though.

@@servoaugusta513 What bible have you read? The holy bible often times mentions that we SHOULD judge other people for "moral failings", as long as we're not being hypocrites ourselves. I think people have completely misunderstood the "do not judge" line, because they don't seem to know what else the same page says. We can sit here and say that Jesus was all about peace and love, but that would be ignoring quite a lot of the big book. Jesus Christ, while having the most modern sensibilities out of all the prophets, was still a really fucking hardcore dude when it came to religion and lifestyle. It's all written down in the book, a lot of it in a pretty straight forward way. Also, I'm not a religious person myself, so I'm not defending the book in anyway. Just saying that these liberal revisions of the Holy Bible are absurd.

We need a Christian Left or a secular answer to this crap! Ugh! Jesus was the original SJW and these sick Fascists want to ruin everything and force everyone to worship their warped demiurge of fear!

You would have made crazy money by betting with people who among the customers is a young Earth creationist, convinced that fossil fuel was created by Jesus.

As a fellow agnostic, I can relate.

@@tristanhartup4936 Same since I'm agnostic as well as have a major interest in mythology and by paganism due to how people back then viewed how the world worked like there was deities for each specific purpose.

I don't weep for the stupid. I'd rather remove all the warning labels and let them weed themselves out of the gene pool.

Is that a Hellsing abridge quote?

@@photofreak56 Yup said by Alexander Anderson.

well i wouldn't be surprised that the people that are outraged about someone saying happy holiday think that holiday means every other religion that isn't christian

I wish they would see it as such, but that makes liberals look reasonable and sympathetic. And they can’t have that, so “they’re trying to kill Jesus! Get you crosses and chick tracks ready!”

Keep giving it to them WITH NO VASELINE!!!

Monday has a capital letter

I find it insulting in comparing the "war" on Christmas to the Slenderman or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I'm pretty sure Gay Jesus lives with the family and guilts the parents into not charging him rent.

He looks like he stinks too.

You could try "Christian Movie Bingo", and make that into a drinking game.

You made the right call.

He didn't say 98% was Christian, he said Christmas makes 98% of people in America happy. Many non-Christians celebrate Christmas, just not the religious aspects of it.

I can confirm that as an Atheist I do celebrate Christmas, but I also agree that 98% is way too high. I wouldn't put it any higher than 85% and even then I feel that it may be a bit high. I would believe that 98% of Americans like the holiday season, but not christmas itself.

I think we have to consider that a large portion of those Christians are not really devout either.

Moon-truthers unite!

I'm starting to get excited whenever I see your name in the comments.

C is for Conspiracy, the Christmas Conspiracy that is!

My condition is so broken. Totally woked.

Do you know what now has a capital C but used to not have one?! _Chanukah_ ! Open your eyes, sheeple. Jewish people plotted to steal the capital letter from the word “Christmas”! Merry Hristmas!

Simple yet effective and straight to the point.

Headbanger142 Well said.

Or do what the Angry Video Game Nerd does and tell them to have a "Happy Shut The Fuck Up" if they have a problem with "Happy Holidays."

A festivus for the rest of us

Headbanger142 you sure about that? You’ve been very disappointing to me all year and I’ll have plenty to say during the Airing of Grievances.

My solution; the First Amendment.
