That leaves us with Christmas.  Which is, essentially, what we are no longer allowed to say.  No more "Merry Christmas" in stores, now it's "Happy Holidays." 

 Since when were you actually prevented from saying "Merry Christmas", anywhere, or reprimanded for it?  I don't where these anti-Christmas police are - they must be very covert.  However, you should beware of the "off topic" police - they're everywhere.....

#82. hehe.  If the OP has no problem with it, then I think it's cool.  After all, the name of the thread is:

I'd say that pretty much gives us free reign 

Look Kizzichan, I was not one of the posters saying Jesus didn't live. I said I believe there is enough evidence to support that he did. I also happen to believe there is enough evidence to support that Buddah and Mohammed also lived. You were the one that said all atheists are fearful that they're wrong and that's why they get upset over the mention of god/Jesus. You also see to want to lump all non-Christians into the term atheists. I am a non-Christian. I am not an atheist.

There is controversy about the evidence. There are only a few sources of the evidence and most/all of it is dated after his life and death. It seems you don't want to accept this fact and that anyone who may have doubts as to the validity is just stupid or fearful. I can understand why some people are questioning the evidence.

As to your holiday rant, get over it. Christmas was made a national holiday when Christians were in total control of our society. The holiday is so ingrained into our society/business that removing it would be impossible at this time in history. I also see no need to have it removed.

I also understand why businesses no longer want their employees to utter the phrase "Merry Christmas" and have replaced it with "Happy Holidays". This did start with non-Christians not wanting to be forced to say a greeting to customers that was not a part of their religion. What you seem to not realize is that by not forcing non-Christians to utter the phrase everyone benefits. If you want to personally greet any person you meet during the holiday period with Merry Christmas, I highly doubt anyone will attack you or come down on you. I'm willing to bet you'll get a few "bah humbug" answers.

Another reason why the phrase Happy Holidays has become the vogue has to do with the length of the holiday season, courtesy of the retail business. It starts officially the day after Thanksgiving. Heck, right now the stores are starting to load up on the Christmas crap. How are they to sell Christmas stuff in September and October without calling it the "holiday season".

yeah let's take a fun-ish questionnaire and make it another bitch fest. Yipee!

Are you KIDDING?  Have you ever watched the news?  I'M personally not prevented or reprimanded.  I don't have a job.  But employees aren't allowed to say it at most major stores.  Google search: no more merry christmas and you'll see what I'm talking about.

And since when is anyone forced to answer Merry Christmas?  You can say whatever you want.  It's stupid as hell to tell employees not to say it - they should be allowed to wish whoever they want a merry stinkin' Christmas and if anyone has a problem with that, it's no wonder they won't have one. It's just a bunch of anti-religious lunatics who want everyone to bow to their way of life.

And I didn't lump you in with them.  I'm saying that there are people who DON'T research.

Thanks for shopping Bloomingdale's, the Jews killed Jesus, Merry Christmas.

Ha! Santo: All hat, no cattle...

excellent.

 It's stupid as hell to require all employees to utter a phrase that may contradict their personal religious beliefs.

If you were to get hired someplace and they tried to force you to greet customers with a religious phrase from the Koran you'd be outraged. Why can't you see that no one should be required (forced) to utter a phrase pertinent to only one religion when there is a perfectly good generic substitute that is inoffensive in its nature?

It's even stupider to require or even allow your employees to utter a phrase that your customers may find offensive.

Edit:  I don't think anyone thought that christians would find the phrase "Happy Holidays" offensive.

I remember liking coming to this thread to see the creative ways folk answered the op's questionnaire.

Please take the happy holiday/merry christmas discussion to the new thread I started just for that. This thread needs to go back to being fun.

Your response to these topics in one short sentence

Gay Marriage: Let gay people have the same rights that straight people do. People are people, regardless...

Abortion: Pro-choice, but not for me, personally.

Obama: Hmm. I really should care more about politics...but I don't honestly have an answer for this...

Mccain: See above "Obama" answer.

Jesus: I'd like to believe in him, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't ask him for help occasionally, but my mind is quite analytical and I have a hard time believing on only faith...

Evolution : Sure. You can't tell me it's not happening right now...hello, MRSA anyone?

Global Warming : It sucks...but really, we are probably too far gone to save ourselves.

George W.: Eh, again, I don't know enough political crap to judge...

Sex Before Marriage: To each his own...wait or don't wait, what you do in your bedroom is YOUR business, not mine.

The Drinking Age: Leave it.

Pot: Eh, why not...I don't personally have any wanting to do it, but if you want to, go for it.

The War: Stop it. Now.

Meat: Yum.

Tattoos: Awesome. I have one and would like to get another. I find them to be an interesting way of expressing yourself.

The Devil: Well, If Jesus is around, I'm sure the devil is, and since I'm undecided on the Jesus matter....

Ghosts: Ew...scary. I do believe there are probably spirits. I've never had an encounter with one though, and I'd like it to stay that way.

Aliens: Um...not in the sense that people think of (little green men)...maybe in the sense that there is probably life on other planets, but why type, who knows...

Censorship: I'll listen and watch what I want to...it's up to me to decide. That's why there are things like movie ratings and parental advisory labels.

Magic: Not so much.

Love: I've found it. :)

Religion: I do not practice it, for the fact that I am confused about what I believe. That's not to say that I dislike it though.

Jezebelini- I think you may just be the only conservative right-winger on this post! You are a brave girl! ;)

Gay marriage: Whatever...why should they not get the insurrance benefits too?

Abortion: Not happening enough. We need to weed out the weak links.

Sex before marriage: Only the people who can't get any obstain...right?
