※ 引述《Hane (Allison)》之銘言：
: 我有一個國小同學，是全家都信基督教
: 可是有一點我覺得很奇怪，就是他說他們不能過生日
: 我自己也會去教會，所以據我所知基督教應該沒有這個規定吧?
: 可是他說他信的是基督教沒錯，又跟一般的基督教不一樣
: 難道是分教嗎?還是像摩門教那樣的教會呢?
據我找到的資料，最有可能是耶和華見證人。
他們不只反對過生日，也反對過聖誕節，反對輸血，還有兵役制度的軍事訓練。
你的同學是不是呢？
他們反對的理由，就像會所先前反聖誕節的文章(#1BDDbE8L 基督徒應否慶祝聖誕節？)
中反對過生日的理由一樣，因為聖經紀錄的某些壞事剛好發生在某些不敬虔的人的生日的
同時。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday#Christianity
Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups, among others, do not
celebrate birthdays at all, actively discouraging or prohibiting it. They
point to, for example, the birthday celebrations in the Bible for Pharaoh and
for Herod, the latter being the occasion for the beheading of John the
Baptist. Also, the origins, magic, and superstitions surrounding the pagan
celebration of birthdays are also a some other reasons for some Christian
groups rejecting birthday celebrations.[6]
In the branches of Christianity where there is active discouragement or
prohibition against birthdays, by default, this also affects their stance in
regards to Christmas. After all, in its religiously presented form, Christmas
is the commemoration of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, that is, a birthday
celebration for Jesus. Hence, Jehovah's Witnesses do not espouse the
celebration of Christmas either, although additional theological arguments
are also cited. Because of the very existence of Christmas as an integral
celebration espoused by most branches of modern Christianity, it could be
argued that this constitutes implicit acceptance of birthdays, contrary to
this, it might put into question the legitimacy of Christmas altogether.
