28. This is getting a little tiresome
Some people need to choose their battles. Christmas is an officially sanctioned government holiday. Using secular symbols such as a tree to celibrate it is fair, in my opinion.

If these atheists have a problem with Christmas being an officially sanctioned government holiday, then they need to take up that issue. See how far they get trying to take away everybody's day off to spend time with their family.

Fundies are fundies, whether they're Christian or atheists. I'm a pagan and have no problem with them co-opting our traditions as their own. I am somewhat amused at the Christians who have no idea where the traditions stem from, but I let them have their fun.

Some people just need things to be angry about in order to function.
