Hey Everyone!

[DanB]

I don't get offended by people from other religions celebrating their festivals

The whole holiday - turkey - card/presents is entirely secular and unrelated.

But the whole secular thing is still refered to as Christmas!!!!!!!!

[Gemby!]

this is why you take someone saying merry christmas as being offensive to others - i see the term merry christmas different and i include the meal , presents and cards in this - whatever the religion

its all part of christmas rite ?

[J'Pol]

My learned colleagues now have Christmas as a Secular Rite.

I give in and finally acquiesce to the inevitable conclusion. The world has indeed run mad.

[Gemby!]

the world is mad because christmas is a celebration by everyone

i think thats its very nice for that to happen - as its very nice to enjoy something which others do to - not matter what religion !

I can't help but wondering if Namzuf is actually offended by someone saying "Merry Christmas", has he said so?

Very well said Gemby.


By saying Merry Christmas I was trying to convey my wishes for everyone to have a good time drinking, eating, getting presents and enjoy the seasonal festivities.

Yes very nice - except Jehovah's Witnesses are another group who positively do not celebrate Christmas.

So to say everyone is not only western biased, precluding the world's actual major religions, it is also wrong.

[Gemby!]

thats what i mean when i say it - not many refer to christ being born when they say it

wow to think - we can actually get back to the original thread now

@ snny - i dunno

[DanB]

I'm going to give up before I explode


Happy Holidays everyone


Unless you get offended by holidays. Is Workaholic a religion yet?
