Goddamn Atheists Are Pissing Me OFF!

Personally I don't care about other people's public displays of Christmas wishes and cheer. I don't mind being told, "Merry Christmas" at stores, even though I'm Jewish and don't celebrate. At least these people are saying something nice to me.

Where I find objection is that Christmas is a national holiday. We are supposed to have separation of Church and State. State, local, and federal governmental agencies should not have any religious holidays.

Instead I would propose three or four floating holidays that employees could use whenever their particular holidays happen. I'd much rather be able to take Rosh ha Shana, Yom Kippur, and the first day of Passover off than have next Tuesday off. To me it'll be good to have a day off, but it's meaningless to me.

So, this alleged "War on Christmas" is really brought on by you Christians you know. Those of us who aren't Christian don't want to celebrate your holiday and according to the US Constitution, we don't have to celebrate it. We should be free to celebrate our holidays too.

Now, where I work I have to take personal vacation time in order to get Rosh ha Shana, Yom Kippur, and the first day of Passover off. Since Christmas is an agency holiday, no Christians are forced to take away one of their vacation days to observe their holiday. And Easter is always on Sunday, so that day is always free for them.

This is discrimination. I should be able to get floating holidays for my religious holidays that do not take away from my vacation time, so that I would be treated like the Christians who work for our agency who have their holidays respected.

If there were a set number of floating holidays that people could choose even the atheists could appreciate it. They could take their birthdays off, and important days like anniversaries and such as their holidays, or whatever...

Well then you are the problem with America. WAR ON CHRISTMAS

Yeah, I guess I should be declaring a Jewish Jihad against Christmas! LOL

Logically, this is the only way they could be British, and be granted the rights, privileges, and OBLIGATIONS of British citizenship.

I agree with that strategy; Accordingly, I see no reason why we should have to tolerate the outlooks, sensitivities, or demands from those groups who have had nothing to do with the development and expression of the highest and finest values that define American culture (ie., jews, muslims, asians, etc.)

Their presence here, and our pandering to their sensitivities, only serves to dilute and degrade our highest values, as exemplified by the Christmas issue.

Wait, are you saying that these people have had nothing to do with the development of America: jews, muslims, asians. There is no "we" in America. That is what this country was founded upon. And might I remind you that we bombed the holy hell out of the British for their "ideals". It's the reason we don't have a monarchy or a Church of England. I'm of course responding if you are saying that there is a collective America and there are groups within it that are part of that collective bunch. I would remind you that you are in fact "gay". If I read your comments wrong, I appologize.

Yes I am.

I've honestly never tried; Eggnog, Twinkies, Fruit Loops, Pop Dogs, etc...

Eggnog really doesn't look like my kind of beverage, I'm afraid.

Again, all I ask for is equal treatment. If you get to celebrate your holidays without taking away vacation time, I should get the same courtesy.

My first post (I need to make an about me)

uhm...here is goes...

I believe in christmas but I think it is wrong to force christmas down people's throats. Christmas, should be celebrated to those who follow the belief. Most christians would be horrible offended if they didn't hear merry christmas and hear happy hannukah everywhere. It is a Holiday Season, from Thanksiginvg until the beginning of january it is the holiday season. There are four holidays crammed in that time period, it is easier to say Happy Holidays than to say, "Have a happy Hannukah, Christmas, Kawnzaa, and New Year's Eve."

People believe different things, it is wrong to believe your holiday should trump.

my two cents

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
