I don't agree with you, like, at all. Firstly, Christians never had absolute power, and second nobody is attempting to dumb down Ramadan so other people are less uncomfortable, are they? Christmas IS bring attacked. By snide, arrogant know it all douchebags

How is christmas being attacked or "dumbed down"
Has Christianity not been the vast majority, the ruling group in America for centuries? Was public policies not dictated by this faith? Was any other religion or belief even a blip on the radar? It was the only game in town and it ran the show. Now other groups want equality and Christians are confusing it with oppression.
-
No. Christianity was never a founding principle or a requisite to power in this country. It just happens to have been the religion of the majority of American presidents. "Happy holidays" and fucking festivus are dumbing down Christmas. If you don't want to celebrate a Christian holiday don't celebrate it. What I won't accept though is someone celebrating it but calling it festivus so all the atheists don't get uncomfortable. Have yourself an atheist day or something.
-
Are they attempting to take Ramadan from Muslims or not? Don't avoid the question.
-
God damn. No one is attacking your ability to celebrate the birth of Jesus. The anti-Christmas police aren't showing up at your house. A handful of douches complain and request that Christmas not be mentioned and it suddenly becomes some war on Christmas.
-
Yes the war on Christmas that I claimed was coming from snide know it all douchebags. Thanks for your support brother, can I put you down for a monetary contribution?
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
It does seem like were encouraged to recognize channukah, festivus, Kwanzaa or Ramadan or any religion's holiday other than Christisnity.
Christianity is a religion that turns the other cheek as a staple of it. If this were Iraq woody would most likely have been beheaded speaking out against the prophet like he likes to do. Because Christians largely bear the abuse heaped on them as simpletons and fools by athiests, who often consider themselves superior intellectually, they are targeted a lot. So yes, I would say that many of the people in this country would like to take the Christ out of Christmas and to them I would say "Too bad for you. Go celebrate festivus, douche."

I didn't insult him. I'm going to insult you, for a guy who's smart you're the damn dumbest smart kid I know. He said douchebags attacked Christmas as some sort of response to my comment that douchebags had attacked Christmas. Do you read anything or do you just go ahead and post whatever is on your mind?Debate rule #1, insult the other side

This thread is my favorite part of Festivus--the "Airing of Grievances".
Next up--"Feats of Strength".

War on Christmas? It's more like 'War on Christians' in many parts of the world

Is there a “War on Christmas”? The bigger question is about a war on Christians.
As part of America’s Christian majority I have never been threatened or persecuted for my faith in Jesus as God in the flesh. But I have had to make the case for my beliefs.
Atheists have dismissed me as delusional. They say there is no Son of God. I disagree.
Agnostics who see no evidence of God have misunderstood me. I have faith.
And I argue with people who object to manger scenes and the Christian cross on public land as violations the legal divide between church and the government. I think people of all faiths can reach agreement on reasonable, limited displays of religious symbols without offending anyone.
Let us give each other the gift of awareness this Christmas to the real persecution of Christians around the globe.But even as we debate religion in American life we cannot forget a bigger threat -- the violent, global “War on Christians.”
Here are some of the worst examples of Christian persecution around the world:
-An American Christian pastor has been in an Iranian prison for more than a year. The U.S. State Department has confirmed that he is jailed “on charges related to his religious beliefs.” Saeed Abedini set up churches in that country for almost a decade and the government found his work threatening. The pastor’s wife told reporters earlier this week: "My husband is suffering because he is a Christian. He's suffering because he's an American... Yet his own government did not fight for him when his captors were across the table.”
- In Egypt fundamentalist Muslims regularly attack Coptic Christians. A House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee heard testimony last week on the sad plight of the Copts. Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Britain spoke of "an unprecedented wave of violence erupted against Christians" that is being "carried out by radical elements in society.”
-And in Syria there are reports of Christians in the northern part of the country being targeted for rape, kidnapping and murder by Muslim groups. Christian churches have been vandalized throughout the country as civil war has torn the country apart for the last two years. The Civil War has forced thousands of Christians to flee the country in droves, seeking refuge in neighboring countries. Earlier this month, more than a dozen Greek Orthodox nuns and Christian orphanage workers were held hostage. One 65-year-old Syrian Christian woman put it bluntly in an interview: "They’re coming after us. All they do is massacre people, all they know is killing."
The British Parliament debated this worldwide persecution of Christians earlier this month. One Member of Parliament called it “the biggest story in the world that has never been told.”
Earlier this week, nations around the world marked International Human Rights Day. Let’s not forget that the right to worship freely, without fear of persecution, is not only an American constitutional right. It is also guaranteed by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
This holiday season I am asking American Christians to pray for fellow Christians who live under the threats of violence in other parts of the world because they dare to stand up for Jesus.
And let us give each other the gift of awareness this Christmas to the real persecution of Christians around the globe.
One act of love that all Americans -- Christians, Jews, Muslims, agnostics and atheists -- can agree on is that our nation must be a light to the world as we stand for religious freedom everywhere.

Cal is an exception. I have been responding to him for so long that I just believe he is an idiot. Like Bunker.
I have never said "all religious people are stupid" or "all conservatives are stupid" or whatever. I don't generalize about a group. I don't go "all of those damn no it all atheists" or "those damn evil libs attacking my way of life" or whatever.
You see the difference there?
I also never "appointed myself board genius". Yeah, I think I am smart. I know I am smart. I say that and you guys just take it too far.
and thanks. I might be working in Cleveland. The company actually has a large presence in the area. I am just happy I got the whole job thing out of the way.

So she has to make a case for her beliefs. Good. People need to think for themselves and defend their beliefs. Not just "my parents did, and their parents did, so i do"
