You're all acting as if you can't celebrate christmas if it becomes just a regular day (ie not a federal holiday)

Well, he isn't saying Christmas shouldn't exist. He is saying it shouldn't be a federal holiday. As in, shouldn't be supported by the government. If you think Christmas has to do with Christianity, then he is right.

This is nothing the JW's haven't been doing for years. They believe that ALL holidays (including birthdays), are paegenistic.

most of u guys are obviously missing the point of why he is sueing...not because he wants to obolish Chistmas, just wants it not to be a federal holiday. I agree with him. THink about it, its not gonna effect theh way it gets celebrated.

I agree. Let's revoke Chirstmas and institute Hannukah. That way we'd get at least a week off. Or better yet, Ramadan. Then we'd get about a month off.

<< what a fvcker! if you don't like it then move to antarctica or something. the world doesn't revolve around you, buddy. >>



Yeah, and it doesn't revolve around you either! If you really think about it why should x-mas be a legit Federal holiday? It pisses me off that I can't go about my normal way of life because x-tians want to have a lazy day. Oh yeah, and Jesus wasn't even born in December if you look closely enough into it. Federal holidays should be reserved for &quot;real&quot; heros like war Veterans and the like.

Also some one pointed out that Easter was to celebrate the Death of Christ. That would be pretty funny if non x-tians celebrated it for that reason. But I believe Easter is actually the Celebration of the of Christ's resurection

...man am I gonna get flammed for this one...:disgust:

It'd be OK with me if they want to remove it from federal holiday staus, be nice to be able to get mail on Christmas :) Somehow I really doubt the postal employees would appreciate that very much.

While he's right that Christmas is a biased holiday, it shouldn't be abolished. To me, Christmas represents a day for just about anyone of any religion to celebrate anything. While I do celebrate Christmas as the birth of Jesus, I wouldn't mind the day even if I didn't celebrate the above. I'd still use the time to exchange gifts(hey, it's just fun:)), meet with family, ect. Besides, I know I'd miss the time off, since it's nice to have a break right about then.

But for this guy, he's just heartless.:( Instead of having the name changed to &quot;Non Denomination Winter Day&quot;, or having the date moved to a day where no religion has a special date, he wants it gone.:eek: Unfortunately for him, having a valid point doesn't make you right. Just leave the holidays, and celebrate them accordingly.:)

What an idiot. I an atheist, and I think we need more holidays not less. So instead of fighting against Christmas, he should be fighting for chanukah. I would however like to move Christmas to a summer month, because that would be a much better holiday if the weather was nice. Those Australians are damn lucky.

what do i have to say but:
eheheheheheheh :)

if you really want christmas to be in summer, move here. It gets disgustingly hot at times, and personally the heat makes me sick. I FAR rather the cold. I think our chimp of a prime minister, our 'economy', and price of computer gear is enough to keep most of the AT members away at least :p

sparkle,


<< Yeah, and it doesn't revolve around you either! >>



funny, i don't remember mentioning the world revolving around me. first of all, christmas is not a very big deal with me, but having an opportunity to spend time with family and friends is pretty invaluable. as for this jackass wanting to ban christmas because he's affected by it (BTW he can't even prove how he's affected), had he even though about all the people affected by it if it's banned?? there are many religious people out there, either you realize it or not. and what are you gonna tell all the kids out there dying for christmas to come? that out of the blue christmas if not a holiday anymore and that you gotta go to school, etc.? good luck! why would you change a tradition that is celebrated by the majority just to satisfy a minority? it doesn't make sence and it'll just piss-off many people. if you don't like it, then just ignore it, it's not very hard. Ganulin claims that the

<< day of Christian religious origins marking the birth of Jesus Christ, competing with lessons he would teach his child >>

. so what? people have rights to believe on what they want. being forced into a belief is another issue, but here they have choices, so what's the fuzz. this are my thoughts...

That would be me. I was born and raised in a catholic household.

Catholics are the morbid christians :p
