    So it is a consensus. We cancel Christmas (happy holiday) and everyone
    work if it falls on a weekday.
    Yeah, because you only get ever a day off if it's a religious holiday.

    So cancel all of them, except MLK day. Oh phoeeey, he was a minister.
    So we will have to cancel that day too.

    But in Texas we will still have Juneteen. Texas Independence day and
    a couple of more. Veterans day, hmmmm, okay and Presidents day
    so long was Obama is excluded..... Cause we don't which President
    he is, he channels so many of them. He has an iden y crisis, I think.

    Question: Why does he always pick a Republican to channel?

    You really seem irritated with the idea of MLK Day and Juneteenth being holidays. Want to expand on that?

    Is that the day where Xray tries to make hay out of an unrelated subject?

    This, because, believe it or not, NOT EVERYONE IS A ING CHRISTIAN, and there are other holidays around this time of year. Some, like Hannukah, have been around longer than Christmas has.
    I just don't see how merry christmas is christian. it's just a saying.

    Pretty much, but obviously some people attach more meaning than "just a saying". I don't care. I also don't understand why atheists get pissed when people pray for them (earnestly, as in "I pray for a good flight for you" instead of "I'll pray for your soul"). If it's coming from a place of concern/love, just take it for what it's meant to be.

    In the same vein, that's why I DO take offense to "you're going to "...

    Are you saying you don't know why? It's not because someone says "Happy Holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas." It's because the trend was initiated by those wanting to remove Christian symbolism. I used to be people said "Merry Christmas and happy Holidays" together.

    Now My pet peeve on that is the following. Don't expect me to by "holiday presents." If a stores promotional ads don't say "Christmas," I will not shop there.

    I've read/heard enough to know that's one of the reasons why.

    If you really want to stick it to the heathen, you should also only buy from stores that display the fishy symbol.

    For control Fox should send a group of people in there to sing some secular songs (they should try keisha or something) from the radio or something at the top of their lungs, then see if they get kicked out.

    War on Christmas is a Fox Repug false outrage, a lie, to rouse the rabble that the world is beating up on their precious Baby Jesus. Anger, hate, fear, and ignorance is what Fox Repug network, and Repugs in general, live on.

    No, you ignorant hack. It is often a reaction from the religious to having customs and practices that have been historically, tacitly accepted, suddenly questioned and sometimes subsequently removed from what has been their norm.

    Its a fairly normal reaction that should be expected tbh.

    As American society continues its evolution towards more secularlism, you can expect to see this reaction multiplied across other scenarios....as we already have with prayer in school for example.

    I agree. The secular are not required to be tolerant of religion, but they demand we be tolerant of them. I wonder if they understand what hypocrisy is?

    What christian symbolism is that? A jolly fat man in a red suit?

    They're just trying to make a buck by increasing their holiday sales to more than just christians. Why do you hate capitalism so much?
