Says the guy who started a thread 3 days ago saying all this PC stuff bothers you.
Are you bipolar
You have to pick your battles Chop.
A guy being afraid to report the suspicious activity of his neighbor because he didn't want to be called a racist is a big deal and something worth being upset about
A sign at the mall that says happy holidays instead of merry christmas isn't worth raising your blood pressure over imo
Christmas is completely pagan anyway. It's pretty sad to see Christians argue and fight for their right to celebrate Nimrod's birthday. Most of them probably think the Sabbath is on Sunday, too.
“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,

gA tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 hThey decorate it with silver and gold;
ithey fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

Oh Lord Help Me.
How is it even possible for it to not occur to you that its not about a sign at the mall or a phrase but about the vanishing of traditions we grew up with solely because of whiny bitches whose concern is only for how they themselves feel and past that there is not one single thing that is of value to them?
Other than shaping the world according to what their pea-brained dumb asses think should be?
Knew people would turn this into a religion thing .. Sad
Santa, Christmas Trees, Lights, etc .. are more than the Religion part ... it's the Joy of it.. for ALL
Yes I know what Christmas is ... and what they say it is ....
But I feel it's not 100% a religious thing ....more of a cultural thing. Because there are Many non-Christians that celebrate it in some way or another.

Illini,
This passage in Jeremiah 10 is oft misused to refer to Christmas trees. Close inspection shows that that passage is talking about cutting down trees and using the wood to carve wooden idols.
1. Christmas and Christmas Trees didn't exist in Jeremiah's time
2. Talks about carving/idol walking/legs (v4,v5
3. Talks about carving/idol talking (v5)
4. Talks about idol being born (v5)
5. Talks about idol looking like it can do evil/good (v5)
6. Talks about idol wearing clothes (v9)
7. Hebrew word for tree is the same for wood
8. A parallel/similar passage in Isaiah 44:12-28 makes it even more clear:
12 A blacksmith works with his tool and forges metal over the coals. He forms it with hammers; he makes it with his strong arm. He gets hungry and loses his energy; he drinks no water and gets tired. 13 A carpenter takes measurements; he marks out an outline of its form; he scrapes it with chisels, and marks it with a compass. He patterns it after a man, like a well-built man, and puts it in a shrine. 14 He cuts down cedars and acquires a cypress or an oak. He gets trees from the forest; he plants a cedar and the rain makes it grow. 15 A man uses it to make a fire; he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. 16 Half of it he burns in the fire— over that half he eats meat; he roasts a meal and fills himself. Yes, he warms himself and says, ‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’ 17 With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships it. He prays to it
The exact same degree of "sad" as allowing a 6 year old child to believe in The Tooth Fairy.
What harm does it do? Them being less than "accurate" with the day they celebrate whatever? How does it impact your personal existence Illini?
You wanna sit them (and that 6 year old) down adminiter a "lesson" to them and shatter their illusions? For what gain?
Rip from them a few moments of joy here in the House of Pain for what? to show off "Wisdom"?
Which would you consider more valuable?
That little bit of Happiness for them or one's Ego getting a little snack? A snack like an egg ball
that leaves one hungry 4 seconds after downing it but the price for which was ripping away joy from a wide eyed 6 year old or from a god only knows how many Christians whose celebration of whatever on an "incorrect day" has no impact on your life whatsoever?
