Fox News War on Christmas by Jon Stewart :)

Interesting. Why did you run screaming from Maryland? It's an ultra-blue state, run by a single party--the Democrats, with a large percentage of the diversity you so crave. You should love it here. So why did you run?

The only color that matters is green.

I have no problem at all with Christmas. I just don't like to have our governments at the federal, state, and local levels promoting religion.

Do the Christians really feel deprived when there's no nativity scene on government land? Would they be happier if all religions (Pastafarians and Satanists included) got to have equal time and space for their own displays? Aren't there enough nativity scenes on the lawns in front of churches and private homes?

I don't buy into the war on women or war on Christmas. You go girl!

Now there's the Christmas spirit!!!

I usually say Merry Christmas; friends who are not Christians I say Happy Holidays. It's surprising easy.

Its how i roll, too, but obviously not easy for some to comprehend.

Say what you want and do not worry about what others say during this season. I say Merry Christmas. No big deal.

So if an ad says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, that's an assault on Christmas? Not the decision of the company running the ad to have broader appeal?

When I worked in retail, I used to always say "Happy Holidays". Wasn't policy or anything, I just tried to respect everyone's holidays (aka I didn't want to deal with some whiny ahole that is offended by Christmas). I think I had someone complain about HH. I probably gave them the usual "I'm sorry you feel that way."

I wonder how some on here would respond to some wishing them a Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Chanukah, Day of Ashura?
Hard to believe how 'religiocentric' some are on this board.

Hard to believe you do not understand that for devout Christians this, IS a religious not secular time of year. You do know that Kwanza is something made up by an American that has absolutely no connection to anything at all in Africa.

That could be do to a lack of intolerance for those who practice religion. We are to be quiet but allow others to be intolerant of our beliefs. That does not seem fair.

They would probably respond by saying, "Thank you, same to you!" How would you respond?

Some would, and then some would not. Have you been following the thread at all?

Oh now you say Happy Kwanzaa, before you only said you say Merry Christmas.

Yes. You asked a question and I answered it. Now would you care to answer mine?

I did not use the word "only".

LOL So Kwanzaa in your view was "made up" but the Christian holiday was not, before it too was "made up"? That was such a 'devout Christian' thing to post.

Thanks for proving my point!!!

You do realize that there are many other religions, faiths and non believers that have just as much of a say as you do. I do not hear you calling for other faiths and their media, public square and school celebration.

The Obamas seem quite comfortable upholding tradition by receiving and lighting the Whitehouse Christmas tree.

A Christmas tree, while not religious, does use the word Christmas. Where do you draw the line? Is it the wording or the religous symbols?

Maybe you should ask Faux News about this "War on Christmas" that they keep talking about.
