[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Ryan: That's slihtly different. It wasn't called "Thursday" [i]just[/i] because of Thor. The Romans called it "dies Jovis", the day of Jupiter. Jupiter and Thor were somewhat equivalent gods in the two mythologies. So, "Thursday" was actually based on both of those, and we only use one of them. We could just as easily have ended up calling it Joveday. However, in the case of Christmas, its name means specifically that it is a celebration of the christ. If you [i]celebrated[/i] Thursday, but claimed not to believe in Thor, then I would wonder what what wrong w/ you. So I don't have a problem w/ [i]calling[/i] 25.Dec "Christmas" w/o believeing in the christ, but celebrating it is a different matter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
