9. I am a Christian. But I wish the wackjobs who call themselves
Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 06:49 AM by shaniqua6392
Christian would stop this insanity. I wish people a Merry Christmas if I know they are Christian. I wish people a Happy Hanukkah when I know they are Jewish. I give greetings and gifts to my customers according to what they practice. I have atheists in my family and we still celebrate Christmas. They are just celebrating differently. But we still show each other love. I talk to my Jewish customers and ask them about their holiday and what it means to them. They love to explain and I love to learn about everything. I have never had a problem. But, I am also never offended if someone will not say Merry Christmas. The holiday in America means different things to different people. It is no longer just religious. It is a time of year for people of faith and people not with Christian beliefs to give gifts to their loved ones and to gather together in love. I don't think anyone should object to that. A Christian is supposed to be Christ-like. These people running around professing that they are being persecuted are full of crap and I do not find it pleasing in the eyes of God. Christians are not persecuted in this country at all whatsoever! They are being martyrs and God disapproves of those seeking martyrdom in His name. Just my opinion. Excuse the rant.

On edit: Have a blessed Hanukkah SammyBlue!!!!!!
