Nah. You don't have to say "Happy Holidays" You can say what you want. Me....When they say "Happy Holidays" I simply look them in the eye and wish them a Merry Christmas. I don't care who I offend with that.

See...I look at offending people over Religion like I look at Premature Ejaculation.. I don't suffer from it.....the other person i'm dealing with does.

I come from Communism and we celebrated what we wanted. The problem with you is you come from a country where people think they know everything about other cultures when they haven't a clue.

And btw, if you were such a good Christian, you'd know not everyone celebrates Christmas on Dec 25.

I don't care who I offend with that.

What if they were obviously Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, or anything else? That's pretty low class imo.

Ahh. It's low class of me to not want to change my views and say Happy Holidays.....but it's somehow ok for every other religion to not say "Merry Christmas"

That's pretty ignorant of you IMO.

Funny how 2 sides work isn't it.

Now, with that out of the way: I don't go out of my way to piss off any religion, I don't slander religions or piss on them like others do. But I will not change my views on saying "Merry Christmas" because some person thinks it is offensive. It is stupid for someone to gget that upset over 2 words. If they don't like them, tough shit. I have Jewish friends, I wish them Happy Hanukkah. But they, being my friends respect me enough to say "Merry Christmas" and not get stupid over those 2 small words.

Nothing is ignorant of a person that sees a generic saying such as Happy Holidays, a saying that includes the three big holidays in December, instead of one saying that works for just Christians.

Why would another Religion say Merry Christmas to each other? It works if it is Merry Christmas from a non Christian to a Happy Hanukkah being the response from the Christian. Otherwise, it tells non Christians to conform. That's not right. Happy Holidays is saying, we acknowledge everything, not just one.

You're not turning anything funny against me because if you really see it that way, you are part of the reason these threads exist and people can't just worry about their own faith.

Look at Atheists. What should be there view on saying Marry Christmas?


edit....Did some highlighting after i read your edit.

WRONG. And I will tell you, and all the others why.

This all boils down to preference.

If you don't like saying Merry Christmas....Dont say it! It's THAT simple!
If you STILL get angry about it, it is YOUR problem....NOT anyone elses.
If someone says Happy Holidays to me, I will STILL say Merry Christmas....you know why? Because it is MY GIVEN RIGHT to say it. JUST as it is YOUR given right to say what ever it is YOU wish to say.

And I got news for you. INTELLIGENT people CAN worry about their own faith. It's the dumbasses that feel the need to bring EVERY thing they don't agree with into the light and complain, bitch, whine and moan about something so trivial as the words Merry Christmas, that are the true idiots. If you don't like it, Dont say it. Say what you want.

Because last I checked, America was FREE!. So excercise your rights to say what you want to say. I think organized religion, no matter what it is, is bullshit. it ALWAYS starts a fucking fight no matter where you go, what religion you are, what you say.....thats why more deaths are attributed to it than anything else in history. So no matter what anyone says, the religious fucktards are gonna argue about it.

If you can't understand that, then tough shit. Thats the way it is in ALL aspects of life. I say Merry Christmas simply because I grew up saying it and see NO reason to change it. No matter what you, or any religious crazy person has to say on the subject. You see, that is MY belief....just as YOU have yours. Deal with it.

You can't really call an opinion wrong. I'll just disagree with you on some counts but not all.

This isn't an opinion, you stated it as fact.

Otherwise, it tells non-Christians to conform

It doesn't TELL them to do anything. They simply take it that way.

But I will agree to disagree with you as well on things.

I'll be honest. This was probably one of the more stupid comments you've posted. How about I stop by your place and help you pack your bags so you can go find a place on Earth that will better suit your living requirements.

You'll be back in a few days when you realize that this country is still the best one to live in and it isn't as bad as your fantastical ideas are telling you. Later, QD.
