I'll check this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the main religon step down in lieu of others is a good thing. It shows the world was true religous tolerance means. Yeah, I can see one of the prophets of Baal telling that to Elijah on Mt. Carmel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shiloh357 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Remember, religous tolerance breeds independence. Having the main religon step down in lieu of others is a good thing. It shows the world was true religous tolerance means. Iraq??? Its funny how religious tolerance works nowadays. Christians are told that we have to "tolerate" every form of religious "expression" that the world wants to throw in our face, but there had not be even ONE public expression of Jesus in public cause a Muslim or Buddhist might not want to have to face the reality that we don't believe as they do. We have to say "Happy Holidays" because a Muslim cannot "tolerate" hearing a Christian express their faith in Christ. "Tolerance" is not a one-way street. The hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. I say that we as Christians simply let the Muslims, and Atheists and whoever else that hates our faith, scream, kick and pout all they want. I really don't care what they think. The Muslims, and Atheists are not going to define our Christmas observance. We will just continue saying Merry Christmas, and remind corporate America that WE are the ones who keep them in business. They are here for us, not the other way around. It is the Christmas shopping season they depend on for their end of the year profit margin, if they don't like our faith, so what???? Christmas is not about the gifts anyway. My Christmas would not be diminished if there were no presents. Whoever is offended at my "Merry Christmas" can either leave the country so as not hear it anymore, or they can simply shut up and "tolerate" it.

There are plenty of other stores willing to take my cash. I also let them know that I communicate, via Internet, with many Christians who feel the same way.

Guest AGC 4 Life Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I'd can't wait to see the sales of these stores that chose political correctness over saying "Merry Christmas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
