Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays Announcement to Pax

[jbDC9]

Man, 4 pages to a thread over something that just really shouldn't matter all that much.

Here's what I do regarding this delicate subject this time of year; absolutely nothing. Now I'll admit that I'm atheist or agnostic or whatever you might call a guy that doesn't give a sh!t about any religion... so I treat Christmas as just another day. No need for any special greetings at all, no need to worry about offending anyone. If anyone wishes me a Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah or Happy Kwanzaa, I don't get offended at all, I just say thanks and move on. No big deal really...

Or, how about Happy HannuKwanzaMas!

If I wish you or anyone a merry christmas, I'm not makeing a religious statement on your behalf...I'm makeing it to reaffirm my faith on my behalf in Jesus' honor.

#1.So you reaffirm your faith by a PA announcement? #2This country includes all kinds of religions and backgrounds, so dont reaffirm your faith to me and i will not do the same.#3 Jesus is not my god and so be it.

#4We just had the local library remove all their nativity scenes due to the simple reason that my tax dollars should not be used to fund your belief.#5 You know what, the courts agree with me.

Replies in order.

#1. Yes
#2 I dont care. Reaffirm your faith all you want to who ever you choose.
#3 I still dont care
#4 We just had one put up a nativity scene
#5 So?The courts once told my kids they could not use the words "under God " in th pledge....we ignored them. As did millions of others.

Merry Christmas!

Things capt. megadeth worries about:
Paying my mortgage
Getting a raise
Affording to live in an increasingly expensive city
Job Security
Being able to have a healthy child
Staying healthy so I can keep flying
Being able to enjoy life

You guys/gals that worry about nativity scenes and $hit like that obviously have too much time on your hands.

Anything else? Man...dare I say that you will not be able to stay healthy enough to stay flying if you are sitting at home wringing your hands over all that stuff.

Some pointers.....

Re-fi your house or sell it for one with a lower mortgage.
Join the Negotiating committee.
Move to a cheaper city.
Get a gov. job.
Dont have kids.
Dont worry so much...it'll kill ya.

Cant help you with the last one. If you sit around a worry about having a happy life.....then good luck to ya.

Merry Christmas!

P.S. Sorry bout the Christmas thing Pookie...I know how much that upsets you.

Jesus existed, saturn did not.

Says you.

Boy, this thread got ugly fast. I'll just say that I celebrate Christmas, because while I don't believe Jesus is my Lord and personal Savior, I dig on his message (or what those other guys said was his message). I don't see a lot of that message being practiced around here, though. Seems one can be a total dick to everyone one meets and still call onesself a Christian. Nice.

And to the one that says Christmas being a federal holiday proves that we're a Christian nation, I say Labor Day is a federal holiday, too. It doesn't make us a communist nation.

Um, thanks for the advice.

It's not that I worry about it all day.....my point was that people that get their panties in a bunch over "merry christmas" either A. have waaaaaay too much time on their hands or B. are rich and don't have to think about any of the things I think about which actually affect my life. Someone saying "Praise Allah" to me (even though I am not Muslim) would not offend me. People can say whatever they want. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO GET BENT OUT OF SHAPE ABOUT THIS KIND OF BULL$HIT......AND IT IS BULL$HIT!

Merry Christmas to all!

Oh yes....I have seen more church going bible thumping hippocrites in my life than I care to think about.

Merry Christmas all the way. Screw the liberal political correctness freaks.

Don't lump us liberals into that PC group. We're not all like that. By the way...famous liberals: 1) Ben Franklin, 2) George Washington, 3) Christ.
