Even the GOP is at war with Christmas.

It is not photoshopped; the only modification was taking it down to 256 colors to save bandwidth.

"Fantasy character"? Even if you don't believe any of the religious stuff surrounding the man, it's flat-out dumb to claim that he didn't exist as a person.

Do you not believe in Socrates either?
Except we don't celebrate the death and resurrection of Socrates.

So? What does that have anything to do with it? Regardless of if you, I, we, whoever celebrates Christ' death/resurrection Christ was a real man that lived on Earth and calling him a fantasy character is just ignorant.
 
I don't see the big deal, honestly. I have no problem with people saying Merry Christmas, but Happy Holidays captures a larger audience so why the hell not.

I am not religious for the record but I think this politically correct crap is idiotic and ridiculous. I am sad to see that commercials, TV, etc are still using the term 'Holiday' from last year.

Anyone else agree this is stupid?

I agree with you, and so does the majority of the population, but we cater to the minority in this country.

I agree that he might have existed, but he most certainly did not exist as christians think he did, that is the fantasy, and that superhuman guy is what is celebrated. If christ was a normal person we would not have christmas.

 

I'm tired of all the holidays being this late in the year, are there any religions with a mass of holy days during the end of spring-start of summer? Norse, Celtic, Aztec religions or something? Human sacrifice is a plus.

Christ was real, get over it. He may not have been the son of god, performed miracles, or anything like that, but he was a person that did exist.

the christian god incarnation christ did not exist, get over it.

Northern Eupopean pagans get to party eight times per year on the solstices, equinoxes, and at the start of each season.

They are Holidays. Multiple peoples have various holidays during the time period. The persecuted Christian schtick was tiring a long time ago.

For you maybe.
 
boo fucking hoo.

Not like anyone is holding a gun to your head forcing you to say "Happy Holidays." If you want to say "Merry Christmas," go right ahead.

Like there isn't enough in this world to bitch about that we have to get our panties in a wad over how other people express themselves. Pull the stick out of your ass and a month and a half early "Merry Christmas" to you sir.

How come true patriots don't get their uddies in a knot when someone says" Happy 4th!" instead of "Happy Independence Day"? Could be that they aren't nurturing a martyr complex.

So what? Why should the Minority be Forced to acknowledge Your Holiday? Why does the use of the word "Holiday" offend You? Call it WTF you want, let others call it WTF they want, but this whole whining that its "Christmas!" is a pile of BS.

The rest of us will sit back and call it "Holidays", because that is what it is.

No, what you do is not cater to the Majority. There's a subtle, yet significant difference.

How is it the Minority? Even your faux news (esp bill oreally) did a poll of their own right wing nuts and the majority of them said it was a none issue.

How's it catering to minority if the intent is to be more inclusive? Its not like they are saying "Happy Hanukkah" inplace of "Merry Christmas".
 
I'm a Christian. The less people associate the holiday celebrations with true Christianity, the better. Trees, the month of December, Santa, snow, parties, etc. have nothing to do with Christ at all.
