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!

i understand what you're saying and partly agree. i'm not christian and don't do the whole xmas celebration things. maybe just exchange gifts with friends and say "merry xmas and happy new year" to some people. i don't think that people who do celebrate xmas have a right to complain. the reason being that even though this country gives the freedom of religion, everything i built around christian holidays and etc. winter holiday = xmas vaction. spring break = easter vacation. even if you change the name no one's stupid. we know why we got the break. i'm hindu so why can't there be a break during diwali? what i'm saying is that even though we're not christian or etc... why can't we have a piece of the pie? we have to set our events around our schedules while schedules are nationaly cleared for you. why not have a little merriment in that time? it's only fair.
