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!

That is a stupid reason to be made fun of, considering that many holidays occur around the same time..

But if I called it Christmas, and Christian folks don't like me calling it that way, they're going to mock me for it, like they're doing now. So either way, I'll get criticized for it.

You'd be surprised at the kind of facial reaction you'll get for calling Christmas, "winter holidays", out of the blue. I, myself, would give a " " look.

I'm confused.. why are we discussing the name?

Basically, some Christians believe that non-believers do not deserve to call Christmas, Christmas. Such a holy term, apparently, shouldn't be uttered by a heathen.

it depends... some people belive that santa is anti-christian... my friend used to live in a small town and they refused to give presents because of that reason

Well, that's a little too extreme, but eh, people and their cultures. Can't blame 'em.
