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! |

QUOTE(InTheMudHole @ Jul 3 2004, 1:38 PM) Just call it, like, the winter holidays, or something. Vague, yet you know what they're talking about. Sure, I'll do that and have the person look at me like I'm a snob. Or a kid will call it that and his friends will make fun of him. Great. Hell, I'll call it as I want to call it, just as long as it understandable to the next person. |
