The Demigod Files question

Who said Jesus is not real? Nothing in these books excludes the possibility of the entire Bible being more or less true. All it says is that other gods are true as well.

In addition to the Percy Jackson series, Riordan also wrote Heroes of Olympus - in which the Greek Gods and their Roman forms also exist. You think you're confused now, read Heroes of Olympus. For example: Athena and Minerva (her Roman form) not only exist, but they have very different personalities contained within the same Goddess.

And there's also the Kane Chronicles, in which the Egyptian Gods are real. That series takes place in the same version of reality as Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus. In fact, Riordan has written two crossovers in which characters from Percy Jackson meet characters from Kane Chronicles.

So if these books are set in a reality in which the Greek Gods, the Roman Gods, and the Egyptian Gods all coexist, it follows that there is no reason whatsoever that the Holy Trinity can't also be real.

Besides all that...
For millions of people, Christmas is not a religious holiday. It's just a tradition. The meaning of Christmas has been redefined over and over again. For some people it's nothing more than a badly needed day off. For others it's an excuse (or perhaps a reminder) to spend some time with their family. Within the US (and possibly everywhere else - I wouldn't know), the "miracles of Christmas" have come to include many that were caused - not by divine intervention - but by somebody who felt like doing something good simply because it's the season for doing such things. This perpetuates the idea that Christmas is important, and therefore well worth celebrating.

I'm not Christian, but I still celebrate Christmas. And most of the people I celebrate it with say nothing about Jesus during the events so I couldn't tell you if they're Christian or not.

Further - if even a fraction of the stories about Jesus are true - that means that a man traveled a very dangerous part of the Earth, during a very dangerous period in history and somehow got people to start being nicer to each other. Whether or not this man was the son of God, that's something worth celebrating.

If someone told you that your religion you grew up with was false, I'd still celebrate christmas simply because thats what I do, you know? They never said he couldn't... No one wants to give up christmas.

You know in House of Hades, God (capital G God) WAS in fact mentioned. And Rick did not say that in this series God is not believed.

I myself am not Christian, but some people in my family are, and therefore we celebrate Christmas. I think it really depends on the person and their personal choices, but at this point in history Christmas is more than just a religious holiday, and therefore I believe that Percy should be able to celebrate it, religious or not.

I think the Riordan-verse is where EVERY religion is true, so it doesn't matter really what anyone believed. also, Christmas in America is more of a cultural holiday, where many non-christian people (like myself) celebrate Christmas.
