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 say if non-christian want to celebrate santa insted of Christ they give it a new name... Santamas?? It's not right to take a religous holiday and turn it into an excuse to buy junk. It's disrespectful.

I also think that (in schools at least) days with any religous significance should be given off. Take a few weeks off summer vacation. That way it won't be a problem if you have a date to celebrate, and if you don't-- hey you gegt the day off! Children won't feel so different if everyone gets the same days off.
