Why? Assuming that God exists, why should the internet or anything
(perhaps everything) cease to exist?

I'd say that people use 1997 as the number of this year more for
argument's sake than to honour Christ (should he exist or have
existed).
It'd cause problems if everyone thought it was a different year..

You believe this because the bible and priests tell you this.
The priests believe this because the bible and priests tell them this.
The only "proof" of validity of the bible is rumour.
Therefore you and every other religious person in existance believes
in something that may or may not be true, unless they personally have
had irrefutable proof.

These holidays seem to be more a convention now than religious. Since
most businesses close for these holidays (or at least christmas day)
then one who works for that business cannot ignore the holiday even if
he wishes to if his workplace is all locked up.
