you can't have it both ways! Options

is it fair that non-christians celebrate christmas with presents and christmas trees? i can't stand it when people openly say how they hate religion and christianity, then come christmas time, they brag about their christmas presents. that goes for easter too. people openly reject jesus christ's resurrection but they celebrate easter. and to add insult to injury, they completely change the meaning by having egghunts and bunnies.

-edit- uh yeah. you can't have it both ways! either become a christian and partake in our holidays, or stay an atheist/agnostic and don't celebrate our holidays, and don't change our holidays either!

Exactly. I hate when people twist holidays and try to make their own ones.

Then what do you suppose non-believers do for Christmas?

When I didn't know anything about Christianity (when I was 8 or so), my Mom gave me flowers on "Noel", saying that Santa left it for me.

Oh wow, we twist it to make it our own when we obviously do the Santa thing as well.

You may very well celebrate Christmas religiously, but others choose to celebrate it culturally. There's no twisting it when everyone wants to have fun.

When people of other faiths have their holidays, they have to get PERMISSION to celebrate it. So you guys have it easy, because the whole nation seems to celebrate with you.

As if businesses do not appreciate people spending their money to buy gifts for their loved ones.

So true. People can be hypocritical.

What's so hypocritical about it, genius? If you don't understand the difference between cultural integration and religious holidays, then I really have nothing more to say.
