I tend to agree with you.

...but I also see what he means about people getting rich off of this day, though. It's extremely hypocritical for non-believers to give and take "in the spirit of Christmas" while in the same breath not wanting to direclty acknowledge it, or calling it stolen and false. Just sayin'....

Why shouldn't I give and take in the Pagan holiday on the winter solstice? Am I offending your Pagan beliefs by doing so?

Heck, this thread is about people NOT using the terminology that people of your faith wish them to and now from another perspective we are hypocritical if we participate in it?

I like when an employer decides to impose their religious beliefs on their employee's healthcare it's all companies can do what they want! However, when they decide to not use the preapproved greeting that wackos want, it's time to bring out the RAGE!

Woah up there, Broham! I've never paid homage to nor celebrated this Pagan holiday (for obvious reasons, its not Christ' birthday, with Pagan origins) so it's impossible to offend me on this basis.

I was really trying to capture Incorrible's viewpoint. You can call it want you want for all I care - I have no interests in the day or its meaning.

Look at my post history regarding this.

The point has been explained numerous times to you in this thread (and others), yet you're obviously too stupid to grasp it.

I know your point and I disagree with it because it doesn't make sense.

I know Jewish people who say Merry Christmas and when people say Merry Christmas to them they are not offended at all.

Hanukkah is over and I am not aware of any Jewish holidays around this time so how does "happy holidays" make sense?

The same for other religions, I know Hindus who celebrate Christmas, they will wish others a Merry Christmas and people will wish them a Merry Christmas, for them there isn't a holiday around at this time and the same for Sikhs, the last major holiday for them was Diwali back in NOVEMBER. Now considering it has been over a month and they dont get offended then how can you justify saying 'happy holidays' to them?

As well its always some white liberal secular progressive who says we should say 'happy holidays' not to offend minorities but how many minorities do you see complaining about Christmas? That's right many of them celebrate Christmas

white liberal secular progressives use the minorities as an excuse for their problem.

God.. no wonder. I was at the family get together yesterday and this year felt much more different than the last. Family was a little less cheery and joyful. Was wondering what was up - now I know.

Fricking Google destroyed the Christmas spirit in my house. Grrrrrr.

So what you are saying is we can ONLY say Merry Christmas on Dec 25th. No other day. Got it.

Well it's the 26th so we shouldn't be saying anything anymore, right?

Personally, I say "happy holidays" because it's shorter than saying "merry christmas and happy new year". But from now on I'm going to say it because it pisses off nutjob retards like yourself.

Happy Holidays!

That is insane, I am not a "full time troll" and I dont get paid. You disagree with me so would prefer to shut me down than debate. That is cowardly and typical of the left.

Except you don't actually debate your points. You come in and pick one or two very simple posts and reply with a line or two of ignorant bullshit every 20 posts or so.

You just said you would correct someone and make them feel like an idiot for saying "Happy Holidays" yet you have never once said why you think someone who doesn't believe in Christmas or your Christ should pretend that they do. Why wouldn't that be MORE insulting than "happy holidays"? Even worse is you said "if" and not "when people say" which implies that you don't hear it very often at all which kind of goes against your entire "was on Christmas" thing.

lol, I know your stance I was simply trying to make a point (and it appears to have worked lol).

I just can't understand how anyone can argue that there is a "war on Christmas" in the United States. If such a thing exists then Christmas is seriously winning this war to the point that very few people even recognize the "war".

I will also never get why people would get offended because the entire country does not believe the exact same thing that you (not you personally, but at least incoruptable) do or say exactly what you want them to say while at the same time enjoying the very freedom that allows that.

Spoiled, that's all... And want to force feed this to you. What makes so bad is that the whole day is a lie and a cash cow for retailers and greedy family member/freinds. My guess would be that Jesus would be looking down in disgust at this lie being told in his name, and how it has almost nothing to do with him.

Myth Wars!

Once you choose to step into the world of myth, anything goes. Your Jesus may not care for crass commercialism in His name. Someone else's Jesus may be saying "Buy, baby, buy".

I explained this, For many religions Christmas is not actually part of the religion but they still celebrate it and wish Merry Christmas. Why do you think they shouldn't say Merry Christmas since its not part of the religion but they still celebrate it?

Even Richard Dawkins wishes people a Merry Christmas but he is an atheist, because its a joyous occasion and there is nothing wrong with wishing people a Merry Christmas.


I dont hear "happy holidays" often but I still hear it. And the war on Christmas is orchestrated in many ways, you know taking out the nativity scenes, STEALING THE BABY JESUS FROM A NATIVITY SCENE --http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/12/26/baby-jesus-stolen-from-ohio-nativity-scene/?test=latestnews
