A new angle on the "War on Christmas"

[Horse with no Name]

Dittoheads are upset that by saying "Happy Holidays"...it takes the "Christ" out of Christmas.
However, isn't saying "Merry Christmas" taking the "holy day" out of the holiday?
I guess theoretically they already did THAT when they turned it into a commercial extravaganza.:evilgrin:

2. Just say that took the god Saturn out of Saturnalia

That oughta piss 'em off.

3. The War of Christmas was won along time ago

By Macy's, Walmart, etc...THAT is whom the religionists should be pissed at.

[fascisthunter]

5. And Yet Macy's, Walmart, etc

are probably the same folks pushing this faux religious fervor.

8. Christmas

Is CHRISTmas - the supposed birthday of Jesus Christ

What's you're problem?

11. tsk tsk tsk

Actually, December 25 is the birthday of Santa Claus.
According to Bible scholars, they actually put the birth date of Jesus during late summer.

(is that your head exploding?)

13. St Nicolas Day

Was last week Dec 13 I believe

Christ - if you can believe the texts, which i don't was born in the springtime

14. Well, my problem is I'm not Christian...

so I could give a fuck if you people keep Christ in Christmas or not. But when there is a war against all other religions besides Christian, which is what the "War on Christmas" really is, it's a battle to keep the government and all other public offices from recognizing any other religion, then yeah I have a small issue with it. Where the fuck is my House Resolution to recognize the Hebrew faith as being important?

18. Being a Christan

Has nothing to with man-made religion

The so-called teaching of Jesus can be written on one page.

Like "Do no harm"
"Love others even if they are pricks"

Sermon on the Mount rocks

All we know about J. Christ historically is:
He existed (Josephus the historian)
He had a following
He was crucified


The only facts we know

19. What does that have to do with your defense of the

War On Christmas?

[qwertyMike]

21. War On Christmas

Read the OP

I wasn't defending a war on Xmas - jeez

WAR???? WTF is that?

Of course I hate the consumerism aspect, but a WAR?
Anymore the a war on Hanukkah, Ramadan or whatever

I am not religious but I love the purported teachings if Jesus, Sermon on the Mount etc.
WAR on Christmas? - sounds as extreme as ----------- fill in the blanks

22. Oops.. totally misunderstood your original post I guess..

my bad..
