would you also say "merry christmas" to a jewish person like evan? or a Buddhist? Or Hindi? if so, you're an idiot.
i'm so sick of the christian persecution complex. you're fucking 82% of this country's population, now quit talking about people trying to 'attack' what you believe."
all we ask is that you understand that we're a mixed and FREE secular society here in america. that means respect other religions and quit asking to be a part of the government.
good for you.
i didn't say they'd get offended. i said you're an idiot if you do it.
and christmas is a CHRISTIAN tradition. While it's true, most Americans are Christians, millions of us aren't. that is why, christmas and all other christian rituals and beliefs are not a part of government. because we are a SECULAR STATE.
completely not the point. the fact remains that it is a Christian holiday. if christians want to open it up to other people, that's nice. but our government simply should have nothing to do with it.
hey, you're the guy who's pro-torture right? wow you sure are a horrible christian.
The people that celebrate Christmas the most are communists in China ;-)
just the way jesus wanted.
what's the difference between believing in witches and believing in zombies?
you do realize that both christmas and halloween are pagan rituals in their origin. halloween was a harvest ritual and christmas was a celebration of the shortest day of the year (thus the lights)
umm. no. Christmas is a Christian tradition. wtf is the nativity scene?
I don't lobby to keep government agencies about xmas either. but do i think that they should decorate for halloween? no. for precisely the same reason. it's none of their business.
i don't care what tv stations air. they are (mostly) private companies and are entitled to act as they see fit. you could have the 'nativity scene channel' and i wouldn't give a rat's ass about it.
but our government needs to stay the fuck out and vice versa.
sir, you are a douche.
My point was that Christmas is actually a secular holiday, at least the way mainstream America celebrates it.... Just like Halloween.
As far as your concern about the government needing to "stay the f**k" out of it, may I remind you that our government is "of the people, by the people." So long as it does not sanction one religion to the exclusion of others, we're OK. Why not live a little & have fun?
Oh wait, neocon Newt Gingrich is now an "environmentalist". Or at least he plays one on TV along with Pelosi. Actually, since his "Contract with America" didn't have many accomplishments. He is now a co-author of a "Contract with Earth". He really has reversed his evil, earth hating ways! Miracles do happen!
