Subject: Why do people get offended when people say Merry Christmas?

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

I'm pretty sure that every time I say "Happy Holidays," a religious -blam!-nut gets on my ass about it.

I just say Happy Saturnalia.

I'm not really offended if xtians want to celebrate their "holiday" that was only made up in the 4th century on an arbitrary day during the already well celebrated Winter Solstice and Saturnalia. They just wanted to make it easier for Pagans and Romans to convert thereby increasing their numbers, power and strangle hold on the world.


Was that spiel meant to make Christmas look like any less of a "holiday" ?

OT: Where I'm from, it's not really a big deal, most people know that being wished a merry Christmas is not the same as being forcibly baptised.


No...? It is what it is. Don't be offended if someone doesn't celebrate the same random day as you do.
And while saying merry christmas to people is quite presumptuous and exclusive, it indeed is not forcibly baptizing anybody... that is usually left for the LDS to take care of posthumously.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Exactly my thoughts.

If someone tells you "Merry Christmas" and you don't celebrate it, just simply smile and reply with whatever you do celebrate. If you celebrate nothing, then just say "Good Day".
